About the class:

For dancers who have completed all of Level 2, we offer a monthly Improver Topics class. Level 3 classes will focus on improving on your basic skills and making you a more confident, musical, and fun dancer! 

At this level, the material is instructor's choice based on what they think will benefit students most. There is not a set syllabus.  The topic/material varies every month: always changing and always fun!

Dancers should take this level for a minimum of 6 months before considering a move to Lindy 4.


Important Level Stuff:

--This series is for rising intermediate Lindy Hoppers who have completed all 3 of our Level 2 units or have already been taking our Level 3 classes.

-- All students must be able to easily demonstrate a lindy phrase (aka 3 swingouts & a circle), tuck turns, and side-by-side Charleston.

-- If you have taken Lindy 2A/2B/2C, but are struggling to social dance the material from those classes, we recommend that you repeat Level 2 classes until you can demonstrate the material successfully. 

This class is a standard Rotating Partner class, and students will change partners throughout class.







About your instructors:

While Mattie Kelly began dancing Lindy Hop in 2013, they fell in love with swing dancing long before that (specifically, while watching Swing Kids in high school World History class). Since then, it has gloriously taken over their life, and they're pretty happy about that. 
 
An educator by profession, Mattie knows that it takes more than technical skill to be an effective teacher. They are adept at meeting people where they are and encouraging growth from any skill level. As a teacher, Mattie is candid, adaptable, and the right amount of goofy.

Outside of the classroom, you can find Mattie solo dancing in most situations-- whether it's improvising on the social floor, practicing drills in the studio, or choreographing and performing with her teammates. If you really want to get them going, ask Mattie about their favorite version of Splanky.
