Lindy Hop Track
The track levels have been revised from past years so be sure to read the descriptions to determine which is the best track that corresponds to your experience. Bear in mind that you will be in a lot of classes with a lot of instructors throughout the camp. You want to be at a comfortable and appropriate level so that it will be an enjoyable and rewarding experience for yourself and your classmates. There is no formula that everyone fits. Each Lindy Hop Track and Balboa Mini-Track will have a range of experiences and there will be some people who will be at the high end and some people at the low end within each track. The lineup of instructors is awesome and each track will be a fantastic opportunity for learning as well as a lot of fun!
Please select your Lindy Hop Track Level based on the descriptions below: (See Lindy Hop Track Classes for more information.)
	Lindy Hop Track 1 No experience is required to be at this level, although most people usually have some. The focus of this track will be on basic technique including frame and connection, the fundamentals of Lindy Hop such as Lindy Turn, Swing Out, Lindy Circle, Side-by-Side Charleston and other variations as well as mixing 6 and 8 count basics. This class is ideal for new dancers, those who have learned 6 count Swing and those who have previously taken a few Lindy Hop classes. The goal in this track will be to acquire good fundamental skills and to gain confidence on the social dance floor. If you are a beginner with no prior Lindy Hop experience, we recommend that you come for Thursday if possible (available as an optional Add-On for the Weekend and Extended Weekend and included with the Whole Shebang). It is not mandatory, but will be a great opportunity to get a good start for the track classes.	Blue Track
	Lindy Hop Track 2 This track is for those who have a solid base of fundamentals and can comfortably social dance what they have learned. The focus in this track will be on refining basics, adding styling and footwork variations, expanding your Lindy Hop repertoire and bringing musicality into your dancing. The goal will be to take all of the different elements and start to put it all together with flow and connection.	Green Track
	Lindy Hop Track 3 In this track you have already taken a lot of classes and workshops and social dance frequently. The focus will be on improving all of the elements that you are already familiar with while expanding your repertoire with more advanced and trickier combinations. The goal will be to take your dancing to a new level with a concentration on smooth transitions, good lead-follow skills, learning to dance at both slow and fast tempos and expanding your musicality.	Yellow Track
	Lindy Hop Track 4 At this level, dancing has been a meaningful part of your life for a long time now. You have continued to take classes and social dance on a regular basis. You have a good comfort level on the social dance floor with a wide range of tempos and partners. You can learn new things at a pretty fast rate and are continuing to add layers to your dancing. The goal will be to improve your individual technical skills, partnering skills and learning how to connect with the music to drive your dancing.	Orange Track
	Lindy Hop Track 5 At this point you have taken many classes with many different instructors and you really know how to put it all together. You have been dancing long enough to have developed a huge repertoire of moves that you are comfortable with. You are fine with a wide range of tempos from very slow to very fast. Dancing for you is all about the joy of new experiences in that you are open and excited about what might happen each time you social dance. The focus is on your partner and you know how to make it fun with everyone regardless of their experience or ability. You have come so far but are aware that there is still so much more to achieve and you want to be challenged. You continue to be open and interested in improving your individual and partnering dance skills and the passion for dance is very much alive! There are going to be two sections at this level with one comprised primarily of instructors and national competitors.	Red Track
		Pink Track
Mini-Track
Please select the Mini-Track Class Package you would like to take: (These classes are in addition to the Lindy Hop Track classes, see Mini-Track Classes for more information.)
	Balboa Mini-Track 1 This level is both for those who are new to Balboa as well as those with some experience. If you are a beginner, this mini-track will give you a foundation to get you started and out on the dance floor, adding some Balboa to your repertoire. If you have been taking Balboa classes and social dancing for awhile, this will be the best level for you to take your Balboa to the next stage. You may have already learned the basics of Balboa and Bal-Swing such as break turns, crabwalks, paddle steps, lollies and crossovers, but you would like to smooth out your movements and improve transitions. You can manage socially and may even be able to get through a whole song, but your repertoire that you are comfortable with is limited. You have some difficulty adjusting to partners of different levels and find things can fall apart at faster tempos, but you are ready to meet the challenge!	Balboa Mini-Track 1
	Balboa Mini-Track 2 This level is for those who have regularly taken classes and for whom Balboa has become a comfortable feature of your social dancing. You have mastered all of the basic moves and transitions and would like to take your Balboa to a higher level by gaining a true feel for the dance. You are comfortable learning more complex moves, are looking to add more slides, styling and footwork variations as well as making your dancing more musical. You can easily adjust to partners of different levels and are very comfortable at tempos up to at least 200bpm.	Balboa Mini-Track 2
	Balboa Mini-Track 3 Balboa is a regular feature of your social dancing and you have been dancing it for several years. You are already very comfortable with complex variations and have a good understanding of how to put it all together. Besides the moves, you also have a good feel for the dance and can very comfortably handle tempos of at least 240bpm. Your focus at this point is to continue to add musicality and creativity while improving technique.	Balboa Mini-Track 3
	Optional Mini-Track For those preferring a variety there will be other class choices to take during the Balboa Mini-Track time slots. These classes are generally open to all levels unless otherwise specified and you do not need to make specific selections in advance. Some of the optional classes will be offered during additional time slots, including Thursday evening, Friday morning, and a couple of other evenings later in the schedule, and so will be open to all, including those doing a Balboa Mini-Track. Check the detailed Schedule for more information. Optional Classes Provisional (subject to change) Lindy Hop (non-track) Ryan's Jazz Routine (4 classes) Balboa (outside of the Balboa Mini-Tracks) Blues West Coast Swing Jenny's Jazz Aerials '20s Charleston Hip Hop Lifts & Tosses Jazz for Beginner/Intermediate Zumba	Optional Classes
