When to Take The Intermediate Courses
The Green and Yellow Intermediate courses can be taken in either order. They are designed to follow on from our Absolute Beginners SwingJive Course. It is best to complete both of the Intermediate courses before moving on to the Inters Plus level SwingJive courses. We alternate Intermediate Green & Yellow courses, if the current term offers one colour, expect the other colour to be available the following term.
An Intermediate course is normally the best option if you have been dancing with us for one or two terms. That is you have just completed the Absolute Beginners Course only, or the beginner’s course plus the other colour Intermediate Course.
£10pp Early Bird Discount
Pay for the course 3 weeks before Lesson 1 to get an extra £10 per person off the course fee, compared to the standard rate.
Extra Lessons Free!
All paying participants can benefit from free access to the full course online, free catch-up lessons at alternative venues, and a 12-month free repeat guarantee, meaning you have a massage range of opportunities to learn the content of this course.
First-Come, First Serve
Spaces are limited and available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Your course fee needs to be paid from this page at the time of booking and prior to attendance.
What To Expect
Each Intermediate Course contains a similar number of moves to the Absolute Beginners Jive Course. The format and structure continue in the same pattern too.
On the beginner’s course, we keep the footwork simple. Most of the moves on the intermediate course have simple footwork too. However, we do add in new footwork rhythms. The six-beat rhythm is added early in each Intermediate course, as is the basic Charleston rhythm.
These new rhythms are great because they allow you to keep on dancing without having to keep on spinning all the time! Leaders can do a simple repeated rhythm and give themselves thinking time, ladies get a rest from all the spins!
So if you loved the beginner’s course you are sure to love the Intermediate SwingJive courses even more!

When To Join Advanced SwingJive Courses
The Advance SwingJive level is ideal if you have completed all THREE 10-week Inters Plus SwingJive courses, “Orange”, “Purple” and “Blue” in our series of SwingJive courses.
Dancers with experience that have not been following our courses should only consider this level if they are already comfortable with basic Charleston and the 6-beat rhythm.
The new Advanced level features 3 x 10-week courses containing the most challenging content on our regular courses. Each lesson features a challenging routine containing a combination of a new move, a move learned earlier on the same course and a move from an Intermediate or Inters Plus level. The remainder of each session is dedicated to freestyle practice, with our team on hand to offer personalised guidance.
Just like at the Inters Plus level, there are three courses and each course contains different content. The three courses rotate during the year, they are colour coded as follows:
- Violet in the Autumn term every year
- Teal in the Spring term every year
- Magenta in the Summer Term every year
That’s right, we’ve had to dig deep in our pencil case to find some more colours!
As these three Advanced level courses are at the same level of difficulty, they can be taken in any order. That is, it doesn’t matter which term of the year you start learning at the Advanced level.
Please book and pay before the first lesson.
What To Expect From 10-Week Advanced SwingJive Courses
Each Advanced SwingJive Course builds on what you have learned at the lower levels. In particular, the Advanced SwingJive courses use the foundations of basic Charleston and 6-beat rhythm to bring you into the world of lindy hop.
The weekly format will see a routine at the start of the session followed by freestyle practice time. Just like in other courses, we repeat the new move from the previous lesson and a move from an earlier course, alongside the new move of the week. This means you are always enjoying a fresh move while reinforcing content learned in the past.
You will learn the Tandem Charleston, triple steps and the eight-beat rhythm, learning how to apply these appropriately and integrate them with your existing dancing. You’ll be learning core lindy hop moves such as the swing out. You can consider yourself a lindy hopper after having completed your Advanced level courses.

The new Advanced level features 3 x 10-week courses containing the most challenging content on our SwingJive courses, but which is equivalent to "Beginners Plus" level lindy hop.

When To Join Inters Plus SwingJive Courses
The Inters Plus level is ideal if you have been dancing with us for 3 or more terms. This should mean you have completed Absolute Beginners, Yellow Intermediate and Green Intermediate Courses.
We run THREE 10 week Inters Plus SwingJive courses, “Orange”, “Purple” and “Blue”. These can be taken in any order and they are designed to follow on from our Intermediate SwingJive courses, where you will have learned basic Charleston and 6 beat rhythms which are essential foundation steps for the Inters Plus level.
We rotate Inters Plus SwingJive courses from one term to the next, so the Purple course starts in January, the Blue course starts after Easter and the Orange Intermediate Plus course starts in the Autumn.
What To Expect From Inters Plus Courses
Each Inters Plus SwingJive Course builds on what you have learned at the lower levels.
The popular format and structure of the Absolute Beginners and Intermediate SwingJive Courses continue at Inters Plus level, with class warm-ups, recapping previous moves and learning new ones, building routines as well as freestyle practice time. So if you enjoyed those courses, the Intermediate Plus level courses will be a joy to take too.
This level gives you new techniques. You will learn tips for responsible social dancing. You can add popular strolls to your repertoire so you can even dance without a partner! Variations on the basic Charleston are lots of fun and there are new moves including the occasional flashy dip or lean.
We’re always referring back to moves you have already learned so you’ll never forget them. Every time we show you a new move we will draw on moves that you already know to create new sequences. This course shows you how to extend those old moves. It challenges you to think about linking moves in ways you haven’t done before.

Expired Intro to Lindy Hop 3 Week Mini-Course
Teacher
Franchise Owner
What to Expect From the 3 Week Lindy Hop Mini-Course
Lindy Hop is often thought of as the original swing dance. We use some parts of lindy hop for SwingJive, but this mini-course will give you a feel of a more authentic swing dance that originated in the 1920s. Lindy hop footwork is more demanding as it flows between Charleston, 6 beat rhythm and 8 beat rhythm.
This mini-course will show you how to dance a simple lindy hop routine. On the way to building your routine, you will learn:
- how to do a basic lindy Charleston
- how to do triple steps
- how to use triple steps in Charleston to create an 8 beat rhythm
- how to do a swing out, which is the core move in lindy hop
- how to integrate your swing out and Charleston with a 6 beat rhythm move
Who Can Take Part in the 3 Week Lindy Hop Mini-Course
This course is open to everybody who books with a partner and dances with them throughout the mini-course.
Although no previous experience is required, this mini-course would suit people who have some previous dance experience. Anybody who has never danced before should consider our Absolute Beginners SwingJive Course first.
Expired Intro to Tandem Charleston 3 Week Mini-Course
Teacher
Franchise Owner
What to Expect From the 3 Week Tandem Charleston Mini-Course
Tandem Charleston is a cool-looking move where the leaders are directly behind their followers doing the Charleston. The leader is still leading their follower through the connection between their hands, which allows for loads of fun variations too!
This mini-course will show you:
- how to do a suitable Charleston on your own
- how leaders can lead their followers into the tandem position
- how to do the tandem once you've arrived in the correct position
- how to exit safely and integrate back into your normal dancing
Who Can Take Part in the 3 Week Tandem Charleston Mini-Course
This course is open to everybody who books with a partner and dances with them throughout the mini-course.
Although no previous experience is required, this mini-course would suit people who have some previous dance experience. Anybody who has never danced before should head to our Absolute Beginners SwingJive Course first.
