What Level?

Level I 
START HERE. This is a great place to start, refine or brush up your basics from the beginning. We will give you what you need to have a fun dance with ANY partner and get more dancing into your life. You'll get tips and focus on a particular style in this 4 part series:
  • Lindy Hop 6
  • Lindy Hop 8
  • Charleston
  • Balboa
Take these in ANY order, so start at the beginning of ANY month.
    Note: it is common for people to repeat series, the material will vary slightly and then allows you to focus on different parts of what you're learning.

​Please email us with any questions Dance@BrooklynSwings.com
Level II
NEXT HERE. This is a great place to get detail, concepts, and play. If you got the basics, go out social dancing a little or a lot, then this is likely for you. When you understand how a movement works then you can be witty, creative, and even dramatic with it. In Level II we focus on depth of learning: aka details, over breadth of learning: aka moves. The style/topic change each month:
  • Lindy Hop (6 &8)
  • Charleston
  • Balboa
  • Combo of the above
This chill learning environment to learn in and receive individual feedback, like a group private.

​Teacher Approval Required

Come 10 minutes before class, dance with an instructor, then they will let you know whats best.

Please email us with any questions Dance@BrooklynSwings.com
All Levels
ALL are welcome! Come to start or come to be challenged, you get to decide how challenging you want the class to be. There will be options and details and you choose the ones that fit with your dance and the movement you're doing. Think of it like a yoga class, take on until you shake, but don't break.  
   We have All Level classes for:
  • Solo Jazz
  • Blues Dancing
Please email us with any questions
