  • All classes will be in English.
  • AUDITIONS for PARTNER TRACK (Intermediate or Intermediate/Advanced level)
  • INVITATIONAL TRACK 
  • THEME CLASSES–  opportunity to choose from a variety of theme classes including house dance, solo, musicality etc. You may find here a detailed description of our theme classes below (will be announced soon)
PARTNER TRACK

For each level, you will have 3 hours of Lindy Hop classes.  The classes will take place from Saturday to Sunday afternoon. The schedule will be announced soon. The teachers for the Lindy Hop classes will be Vassiliki and Alex, Tamara and Héctor. 

LEVEL 
Intermediate: You’ve been taking regular Lindy Hop classes for at least 12 months and attended a few local workshops already. This even may not be the first international event for you. You feel comfortable with mixing basic rhythms: groove walks, charleston, triple steps and incorporate some swing-out variations to your dancing. You dance to different tempos: 120 – 180 bpm with ease. You wish to learn more fancy patterns but still feel the need of improving your technique.

Inermediate – Advanced: You’ve been dancing Lindy Hop for minimum 18 months – regular classes, attending socials and some local and international workshops. You dance to various tempos: 110 – 200 bpm incorporating different rhythms, patterns and creating your own variations. You’ve probably also tried some other swing dances, like Balboa, Blues or Shag and still are hungry of knowledge and alternative ideas that may improve your dancing skills.

SOLO TRACK

You will have 2x 1,5 hours of Solo jazz classes. 
The teachers for the Lindy Hop classes will be Vassiliki or Alex, Tamara or Héctor. The schedule will be announced soon. 

LEVEL: You’ve been dancing Solo Authentic Jazz / Solo Charleston for at least 12 months (maybe 6, if you had danced Lindy Hop before). You know the most popular solo routines (including Shim Sham, Tranky Doo, Big Apple – at least till the “London Bridge” ? ). You feel comfortable with your body and do not need a dance partner to hit the dancefloor during the party. You seek new rhytmical challenges and would like to improve your improvisational skills.

BEGINNER TRACK
You’re a begginer and you’ve never been to a swing festival? Then the BEGINNER TRACK is just for you! Three hours of Lindy Hop classes with international teachers would give you the essence of the festival, but won’t overwhelm you. And you can combine it with one, two, or maybe all three parties – depending on your energy.
LEVEL: you should know the basic steps (groove walk, triple step) and figures (tuck turn, side pass, send out, etc.).
INVITATIONAL TRACK
You visit international festivals and workshops and most probably also teach Lindy Hop in your local school or you’re a member of a dance group. You are basically able to dance as both lead and follow. On one hand, you feel that you’re very experienced, on the other hand, you may feel the need to practice swingout again. At this level, dancers will be required to dance to fast tempo up to 210 bpm, feel comfortable with rhythm improvisation and solo dancing. 
Please note that this level is INVITATIONAL. You can register, but our team has to confirm your registration first. Send us a video or an email to jazzberry@swingwings.cz describing your experience and we will contact you as soon as possible.
