INTERMEDIATE LEVEL

650 kr (regular) / 450 kr (student)

The intermediate level is for the more experienced dancers. On intermediate you will continue to work on your technique and become confident with more advanced aspects of the dance. 

You will learn new, more complex variations and learn how you can style and control the dance. You master connection and tension and can start adding to your personal style by expanding and innovating your footwork.

You want to explore more complex moves and improve on your lead/follow technique. Concepts like connection, frame and musicality are familiar to you, and you want to get better at them! You also know that sometimes “back to basics“ is the best way to advance.

Other concepts that might be explored on intermediate are flow, breaks, follower’s initiative, improvisation and deconstruction of classic variations. 

Level Placement:

In Lindy Hop, we all have different levels and in Aarhus Lindy Hoppers, we try to make sure that the students on our Intermediate Level will get the most out of the class, as it is the highest level, the association offers. To ensure this, we have level placement. Here you will dance with the teachers on the team and get advised on what level is suited best for you. You will also get the chance to receive personal feedback – like a free mini private lesson! It will approximately take 10-15 minutes per person. Level Placement is obligatory for students who want to sign up for the Intermediate Level for the first time.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE:

• You have joined our Improvers’ Level for a minimum of three semesters and...

• You have social danced regularly (This is highly important!)

• You feel comfortable mixing 8- and 6-count and can lead/follow the difference with smooth transitions.

• You have the basic understanding of frame and tension and can dance to intermediate tempos without loosing these.  

• You’ve truly gotten the hang of the basic swing out

• You can dance Charleston comfortably

  You are deemed ready for intermediate by our level placement team. Level placement means you will dance with one of the teachers in our team. It will be specific events leading up to the registration period, and will be announced on our calendar. If you are unsure, write us a mail or approach one of the teachers.
