Each course is classified according to genre, recommended age and level:
Recommended age: The recommended age is the age group for which the course teacher has tailored. You can also, at your own discretion, participate in a course of a different age group, if you think you will blend in.
Level: The courses are divided into three levels. In addition, there is an open level as an option.
- Basics: You don’t necessarily need previous experience or you have only been dancing for a short time. Or maybe you want to dive into the basics of the genre at a more peaceful pace.
- Intermediate level: For those who have some previous experience of the genre.
- Professionals and advanced: The level is intended for dance professionals or professional students, as well as adults who are advanced in the dance genre in question.
- Open level: You can come to the open level class without any previous experience. However, the teaching is tailored in such a way that there is sensible and level-appropriate content for participants of different levels. Everyone, from beginners to advanced and professionals can participate.
