LEVELS
More info about levels below. If you are unsure of which level to pick, please contact us first! Make sure you also check out these other links:
"HEP KITTENS" (LINDY HOP, GROUP 1)
You're fairly new to lindy hop, maybe you started dancing this autumn, and you know your basic footwork. You attend class on a regular basis, and you've tried the social dance floor (although you may not feel totally comfortable with social dancing just yet). You want to learn more about how to keep your bounce, how to dance to the rhythm, and how to add fun variations to your step.
"HEP CATS" (LINDY HOP, GROUP 2)
You have been dancing actively for at least a year, possibly closer to two years, and consider yourself an intermediate level dancer. You attend class as well as social dance regularly. You're familiar with 6- and 8-counts and you're able to mix your basic steps. As an intermediate leader/follower you recognize the importance of practicing your posture and rehearsing the basics. You wish to improve your leading/following, sense of rhythm and to learn some fun and challenging new moves.

"WILD HEP CATS" (LINDY HOP, GROUP 3)
To register for this class you should be comfortable at an intermediate-advanced level. You have been dancing actively for at least a couple of years. You social dance regularly, and you've attended several dance workshops. You're familiar with tempo changes, and listening to the rhythm variations when dancing. You know how to add different foot variations to your basic step, and you're comfortable on the social dance floor. This is a good level to re-visit a couple of times before moving up to the next level.

"ROARING HEP CATS" (LINDY HOP, GROUP 4)
You are an advanced dancer and you've been dancing several years, perhaps you're already teaching. You regularly visit workshops, and you are very comfortable on the social dance floor. You have no problem with (keeping your bounce at) different tempos, or varying your footwork. You listen to both your partner and the rhythm changes in the music, and you know some solo jazz. If you're unsure of which group to pick, 3 or 4, then you should most likely stick with group 3 for now. This is a good level to re-visit a couple of times before moving up to the next level.

"VETERAN HEP CATS" (LINDY HOP, GROUP 5)
You are an advanced+ dancer and have danced at an advanced level for many years already (or have danced very actively at an advanced level at eg. several camps but for a shorter time period). Please read the level 4 description and know that level 5 are steps above level 4, and will require lots of sweat and hard work. It will be fun, yet challenging. If you're unsure of which group to pick, 4 or 5, then you should most likely stick with group 4 for now.

BALBOA SHORT TRACK
The full package requires no previous knowledge of balboa (the first hour is an introduction/rehearsal), but be prepared to work hard for the the last 3 hours. If you've chosen to go with the more advanced track, then you should at the very least have a basic knowledge of balboa and balswing (you've had classes and you social dance it).
