DANCE CLASS LEVELS

You can attend classes of any level, with the exception of Twerk, where it's advisable to progress step-by-step, starting from the basics, due to the technicality of the style. Dance class levels help instructors design appropriately challenging classes, and clients can assess the difficulty of a class based on its level. If you wish to challenge yourself, you are welcome to try more challenging classes. We always aim to provide an opportunity to change levels if the chosen level is too easy or too difficult.

AVOIN TASO / OPEN LEVEL / CHOREO:

This class is not tied to a specific level classification; instead, the content and difficulty vary according to the instructor, theme, and choreography. The class is suitable for dancers who already have some experience with dance classes, but an open-level class is not a beginner's class. Among general levels, these classes best correspond to an intermediate level (intermediate-advanced beginner). An open-level class often strongly reflects the instructor's personal style.

ALKEET / ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS: 

This course is designed for complete beginners. The class teaches the basics at a calm pace – no prior dance experience is required.

ALKEISJATKO / INTERMEDIATE BEGINNERS:

This level is suitable if you have already familiarized yourself with the style at a beginner level. In this class, previously learned skills are deepened, and more technique is taught. If you have any dance background, you can attend intermediate beginner classes regardless of the style (with the exception of Twerk, where you should have completed either a beginner's course or, for example, an online basic course).

JATKO (INTERMEDIATE):

This class is suitable for you if you already have experience in the specific style (or a similar one) (e.g., 1–2 seasons). The class often involves more challenging movements and choreographies.

INT./ADV. (INTERMEDIATE-ADVANCED)

This can also be referred to as a challenging open-level class. The class level is intermediate-advanced. However, it is often not as challenging as clear advanced-level classes.

EDISTYNEET/ADVANCED:

This level is intended for those who have been practicing the style for a longer time. In this class, the tempo is faster and the choreographies are more demanding – it requires a good basic technique.
