Please note - schedule, bands, teachers subject to change without notice!  Please check back here for updates.

Descriptions of the above classes will be available during the weekend to help you make your class choices.

Information on class levels:

Beginner Track - You've never taken a dance class in your life!  Or, you have taken a dance class in your life, but would really like to brush up on your basics.  These classes are progressive, so for the full experience we suggest sticking with the beginner track throughout the weekend. 
Intermediate Track-  You have a good working knowledge of your Lindy, Shag or Balboa basics and are ready to move on to your Intermediate moves.
Advanced Track- You are an Advanced dancer with a good vocabulary of Beginner and Intermediate moves, and are ready to tackle more complex choreography.
Master Track -  this track requires partners, classes will not rotate. The Master's Track does not necessarily apply to years of dance experience but more to dancers with a high level of fitness who are able to dance comfortably to 240 + bpm and perform lifts and tricks. If you are an Advanced dancer not up to fast dancing and athletic moves, we recommend you join the Advanced level.
All Levels - Anyone can participate in this class, it is not level-specific.

If you find during the weekend that you registered yourself for the wrong level and would like to switch, come see us at the registration table and we'll give you new badges.  Want to step outside your level for one or two classes (ie, you are an Advanced Lindy dancer but would like to take the Beginning Balboa class)?  You may!  The idea behind having everyone choose their level in advance is to give us an idea how to limit class sizes & keep lead/follow ratios more even.  Skipping over a level for one or two classes shouldn't cause a problem!
