Full Pass Classes
Besides having all the classes of your level (Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz), taster classes, activities and parties included, you also have meals and accommodation taken cared off. Check more information on the “Join Us” page.
Why Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz
First, we are dancers, not just leaders and followers. We love the connection of Lindy Hop and the moments we share when we dance together.
We want to incorporate solo movement as an expression of this art form and an opportunity to improve partner dancing.
Class Content
We will focus on self-expression while promoting a deep appreciation and understanding of Swing and Jazz music and the African-American roots of this dance.
Amazing Teachers
You will learn with experienced and inspiring teachers, with an approachable, inclusive attitude. They all come from different backgrounds and will share their unique journey. You will have one Lindy Hop class with all the teaching couples and 1 Solo Jazz class with one of the teachers.
Taster Classes - Focused on Music
Our camp wants to encourage interaction and knowledge-sharing between dancers and musicians. You will have the option to go to a choir class, a play in a band class, and tap dance class. We believe in bringing music to our dancing bodies. Expect more news on this topic soon!
Full Pass - All inclusive
Full Pass: 6 hours of Lindy Hop, 1.5 hours of Solo Jazz and out of the box tasters from Friday morning to Sunday morning.
You’ll always find time to share, experiment and party.
Solo Jazz Pass Classes
If you want to take care of your accommodation/meals (or if you couldn’t get one of the full passes) you can also join us with a Solo Jazz pass.

Lindy Hop Levels
We know it’s hard to identify your level sometimes. Our classes will have interesting content for every group.
Level 1: Intermediate
You’ve been dancing Lindy Hop for around 9 months. You already learned in classes and social dance moves like: basic 6 counts with triple steps, swing out, circle and basic Charleston steps like tandem Charleston and hand-to-hand. You are excited to (maybe) go to your first festival and improve your dance by learning new vocabulary and discovering more about connection.
You might have tried or not some solo jazz classes or know some solo jazz moves and routines like the Shim Sham, but you are excited to learn and explore more about the routes of Solo Jazz.
Level 2: Intermediate-Advanced
You’ve been dancing for around 2 years, taking classes and social dancing. You are comfortable with the basics like swing out, circle, tuck-turn, outside turn and you already know a lot of moves that you cannot name. You are able to improvise and maybe add some Solo Jazz moves to your partner dancing. You can mix between triple steps and kicks, 6 and 8 count and you can dance fast and slow tempos. You are excited and open to receive new ideas around musicality, connection and to add diversity to your dance.
You have learned some basic routines like the Shim Sham, tried alone or in classes some Solo Jazz moves. You are ready to learn some more vocabulary or pick the harder challenges also provided in class.
Level 3: Advanced
You’ve been dancing for around 3 years, and you have been to some festivals already. There’s no doubt that dance is in your life to stay. You are comfortable with different tempos, different types of partner connections and you feel like you can improvise and stay connected with your partner, the music and yourself. Vocabulary is not your priority and you want to know more about the origins of the dance, to find your own style and to feel more free to express your dance.
You have learned some basic routines like the Shim Sham, tried alone or in classes some Solo Jazz moves. You are ready to learn some more vocabulary or pick the harder challenges also provided in class. If you already dance Solo Jazz frequently, the classes will have challenges for you too.
Level 4: Advanced+
To join the Advanced+ or Pro levels, you are required to audition on the first morning (Friday at 9:45 am). This is the best way to check all levels and be considerate to the majority of dancers, keeping the best balance possible. If you don’t stay on the Advanced+ level, don’t take it personally – We are sure you will still learn a lot on the Advanced level with our great teachers and you can always ask for extra challenges.
You’ve been dancing for around 5 years, and make sure to practice regularly.
You must be comfortable in all tempos, from very slow to very fast, and be an experienced social dancer. You are searching for your own voice in dance and actively look for more knowledge on the dance culture and history. You are eager to bring some homework to do after our festival and new tools to your dance.
You have taken Solo Jazz classes, regularly or not, dancing solo doesn’t scare you, although you might not have as much experience as you have with Lindy Hop. If you already dance Solo Jazz frequently, the classes will have challenges for you too.
Level 5: Pro
To join the Advanced+ or Pro levels, you are required to audition on the first morning (Friday at 9:45 am). This is the best way to check all levels and be considerate to the majority of dancers, keeping the best balance possible. If you don’t stay on the Advanced+ level, don’t take it personally – We are sure you will still learn a lot on the Advanced level with our great teachers and you can always ask for extra challenges.
You’ve been dancing for AGES and are ready to be challenged to your fullest potential!
You are a local teacher, with experience in performing and competing. You are eager to learn new approaches and to get fresh inspiration for your dance journey. You are developing your own voice in dance, and expect deeply nourishing classes that make you question what you know. These classes are meant to motivate you to work on your craft and empower others in your local scene.
You are comfortable in Solo Jazz improvisation and are not afraid of an extra challenge.
