What level is the aerials class?
We will attempt to make the aerials class accessible for any skill level by offering beginner intermediate and advanced options. However due to the nature of these moves, for your safety we do require all participants to be physically capable enough. If you can walk around while giving a friend a piggy back or carry them in your arms, you will be capable enough to participate in the air-steps class.

What level is the Lindy Hop classes?
This is an advanced class. If you have been in intermediate classes for a number of years and you know about musical phrasing, high information vs low information leading/following and adding solo jazz steps into your social dancing, then this is the class for you.

What level is the Balboa class?
We will be teaching intermediate and advanced content in this class. We will not have time to teach the absolute basics though. So if you know how to do a single time basic (the down basic) and a delayed time basic (the up basic) you are welcome to join class.
If you do not know these basics but are an experienced dancer, teach yourself the fundamentals before the workshop (there’s lots of online resources) and you’ll be welcome to join in.
