To improve the learning process, it is recommended to review the content of the classes in order to assimilate, digest and integrate it into your dance. This practice, together with students of level 1+, takes place from 8 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and is included in the price of your subscription. The teachers are there to answer your questions.
You social dance regularly at swing parties and have maybe even travelled to an international dance festival or two. You feel comfortable on the dance floor, and have a strong grasp of fundamentals. You are developing your awareness of swing music, and have a broad vocabulary of variations and sometimes create your own.
During this course we will continue to expand your vocabulary with greater focus on technique, rhythm, jazz music, and improvisation. If you are looking to be challenged in these areas, this level is for you.
You can join this level for several sessions until you are recommended by your teacher to proceed to the next level. But don’t worry, there is plenty to learn!
To take this class you must have followed +/- 2 to 3 years of weekly classes. If coming from another school, please try to register to the level that sounds most suitable to your experience - at class, our teachers will then assess whether or not you are in the appropriate class, and reserve the right to move you up or down a level.
