You are familiar with the basics of solo jazz and have attended a few workshops or regular classes (from September 2025 or earlier). You know the basic structure of classic routines such as: Shim Sham, Big Apple, Tranky-Doo.

You are comfortable dancing classic routines such as the Shim Sham, the basics of the Tranky-Doo, and the Big Apple. You are familiar with fundamental authentic jazz steps, including: Shorty George, Suzie Q, Apple Jacks, 1920s Charleston

You are beginning to explore improvisation and feel increasingly confident dancing on your own.

You know classic routines very well and have no trouble learning and remembering new ones.

You learn quickly and are open to working on more demanding technical elements, including: jumps, slides, and turns, complex rhythm variations (such as Over the Top and Trenchies)

You feel confident improvising and can comfortably dance solo during jams. You have experience performing in front of an audience and may also teach in your local dance scene. 

You are a highly experienced and versatile solo jazz dancer, and dance plays a central role in your life. You currently teach or have previously taught solo jazz, and you are seeking an advanced artistic and technical challenge.
