———————————————————————————————
Level 1:
This is NOT a beginner level. Now you are expected to be in control over both eight counts, six counts. You should be able to mix the two different basic steps without a problem and being in control over how to lead or follow the differences between them both. You are familiar with couple charleston (basic, hand to hand, cross kicks,…). You should be an active social dancer and starting to learn connection, musicality and improvisation.
———————————————————————————————
Level 2:
You regularly go out dancing and attend workshops. You are comfortable with medium and fast tempo and switching from 8 counts to 6 counts moves is a long gone problem for you. You also have a strong foundation of charleston patterns (hand to hand, tandem variations and co.). You love to learn new tricky moves and variations to play with the music and find your individual style on the dance floor. Therefore you are also looking to refine your connection and musicality.
