The Levels

Choose carefully…!
PLEASE NOTE: Everybody’s experience is depending on the number of lesson hours plus number of practice hours per week, and the amount of experience at other Swing camps etc etc. People learn at different rates, so the time scales are used as a GUIDE ONLY; we don’t hold auditions, but we ask that you assess yourself in an honest fashion as to the best level for you. Once you’re happy with your decision, we do ask respectfully that you stick to that level at the event.
Please note, booking with a partner (i.e. as a lead/Follow couple) while not essential is highly recommended; we try and get as good a balance as possible between Leads and Follows
Please use the contact us page if you are a single follow wishing to book
