Information about the levels: Beginner: This level is perfect for you if you are new to Lindy Hop or have only taken a few classes. We will focus on the basic foundations of Lindy Hop, including rhythm, connection, and simple partner work, in a relaxed and supportive environment. No previous experience is required—just curiosity, a willingness to try, and a desire to have fun on the dance floor ✨ Intermediate: This level is suitable for dancers who have been dancing Lindy Hop regularly for some time and feel comfortable on the social dance floor. You know the fundamentals of Charleston and Lindy Hop, feel comfortable exploring different patterns, and enjoy building both technique and musicality. You’ve danced socially at different tempos and are ready to deepen your understanding of rhythm, connection, and variety—while having fun learning material for the dance floor ✨ Advanced: This level is for experienced dancers who are confident across tempos and love to push their dancing further. You explore sophisticated patterns, enjoy refining your technique, rhythm choices, and connection. This is for dancers who want to expand their skill set with challenging combinations and express themselves with flair and confidence ✨ Teachers: Gunnhild and Ruben are Lindy Hop – and Boogie Woogie – dancers located in Bergen. Today Lindy Hop, Boogie Woogie and Solo jazz play a big role in their lives. Teaching and practicing in Bergen in addition to traveling to various international festivals for teaching, competing and taking classes take up much of their time. They both have a strong passion for teaching, performing, competing and especially social dancing - where the goal during the social night is to avoid leaving the floor for as long as humanly possible. To Gunnhild and Ruben the multifaceted activity of swing dancing involves so many treasured elements - from the music itself to the possibilities of expressing yourself to it. And to be able to share these elements with another human being on the social floor makes it all so very special 💃🕺
