Level 1 has two series: "Level 1A" & "Level 1B"
(The A & B series alternate months. You can start on either one!)

What's the difference between A and B? Weeks one and two of the series will have matching curriculum; weeks three and four will have different curriculum. Stay twice and really learn more!

1A and 1B are not sequential; you can begin with either one.

Background: As teachers, we know that Lindy Hop does not come to students overnight. It only comes with good solid learning and repetition (in class) and dancing practice (social dancing). We have always encouraged our students to repeat each level at least twice in order to get really outstanding dancing basics. And now we feel we have a little more incentive for the students: providing brand new additional material for the second time through.

Level 3: Musicality and Styling By the time students get to Level 3, they have enough Lindy Hop moves to play with and now budding with curiosity about all that styling and musicality they see on the dance floor, and they are ready to try it! Level 3 will now focus intently on musicality and styling for the leaders and followers. How swing music is constructed, and how to know what to do with moves to make sure that you are dancing "to" the music (like a musician) rather than dancing "through" the music (like a train!).

Six Months of Intermediate Lindy Hop Curriculum

"The Track" is six series of moves and material. Each series has a "stand-alone" curriculum. Let's say you are ready to join The Track. We call each of The Track's six series a color: Orange, Silver, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow. To complete The Track, you would simply need to take one of each of those colors, eventually.

For example: You start in January (Orange), you would finish in June (Yellow); if you took the classes consecutively. But, let's say you can't find four months in a row, you could take any combination whereby you've hit all six.

Each series in The Track will contain set curriculum covering variations of the following moves: Swingouts, Charleston, Sugar Pushes, Slides, Boogie Steps, Hollywood Style, Savoy Style, Balboa, Shag, Styling, and Stop Reverses.

Students have definitely enjoyed going through The Track more than once, and we are convinced that The Track is raising the level of dancing for our intermediate students. Further, Track students will have more social dance experience during this study period, preparing them for Advanced Lindy classes in the future.

THE MASTER TRACK
"It's all about you!"

TAKING YOUR DANCING TO THE NEXT LEVEL

This eight-week course, developed by Rusty Frank and Ron Campbell, is designed for people who want to bring their dancing to the next level. The focus of the program is on musicality, styling, and individual development. Class size is limited to 12-14 students, evenly divided between leaders and followers.*

Think of The Master Track as a workshop, a master class (rather than a class for dance masters).

TRACK YOUR DANCING

Each week, Rusty and Ron work with the students individually and as a group in a series of exercises and challenges. The students are filmed each week, and the footage is studied as a group (in Lindy By The Sea's traditional upbeat, encouraging, and friendly environment) to examine individual areas of goals and progress. Each week's dance footage is shared with the students so they can download it and track their progress.

The total cost for all eight classes is $100/per student (and doesn't bundle for discounts with other classes).

This course will start up every eight weeks. The total cost for all eight classes is $100/per student.
