Teachers

From Lithuania, we have rising star Pamela Gaizutyte, one of the most exciting followers to burst onto the international swing scene in recent years. She has been dancing since the age of 5, and surrounds herself with rhythm on a daily basis, practicing, performing and teaching Lindy Hop and vernacular jazz in her hometown of Vilnius, Lithuania. She has started teaching Internationally and really is a rising star of the Lindy Hop scene.

From Montpelier, we have the wonderful Julien Stoehr! Julien’s passion for swing dancing hasn’t stopped growing, and he has been teaching Lindy and jazz internationally, including Smokey Feet, and the Orient Lindy Express in Istanbul. His solo Charleston skills are also renowned, and he won the Crazy rhythm Challenge 2011 in Toulouse, for his crazy footwork!

Levels

Level 1 Beginner-intermediate (less than a year of dancing regularly)
You are not an absolute beginner anymore: although you have been dancing less than a year, you are comfortable with the basic moves such as tuck turn, change of place and circle and you are familiar with the swingout.

Level 2 Intermediate (1-1,5 years of dancing regularly)
You have been regularly dancing for over a year now, and are comfortable mixing 6-8 count moves. You are familiar with the side-by-side Charleston and you can swing-out at faster tempos.

Level 3 Intermediate-advanced, (1,5+ years of dancing regularly)
You have mastered the basics and are taking your partner connection to the next level. You can improvise with your partner on the dancefloor, and are starting to recognize patterns in the music you hear. You react to the music and have time to add your own flair to dancing, rhythmic footwork variations and styling.
