There are 3 levels of classes . You can do any classes as long as you are good enough.
Please do not embarrass yourself by putting yourself in a too high level class.
For example:- Level 3's can do levels 1/2/3, Level 2's can do levels 1/2, Level 1's can do level 1.

Level 1 - You know some 6 count and 8 count moves, you can triple step and you know some Charleston.
You are not very confident and struggle a bit socially to get it together.

Level 2 - You have been taking regular, good quality Lindy Hop classes for over 18 months.
You are confident with your 6 count, 8 count and Charleston steps. You can Lindy Hop socially with partners of various levels.

Level 3 - You have been attending regular, good quality Lindy Hop classes for 3 years or more.
You aren't afraid to try things out, and would dance with nearly anyone of any standard on the social dance floor to both slow and quick tempos.
If you need to ask, the answer is no!
