COURSES / WORKSHOPS:

The presentation lesson of the courses for beginner levels is free.
If you missed the first lesson and want to try the course, you can do so by sending an email to info@lindyhopinflorence.com specifying the request.
During the entire period of the course it will not be possible to pay for a single lesson, however in exceptional cases this option may be applied upon request at a cost of 15€ per lesson.
The trial lesson for higher levels (from the second level up to the highest level) is not free and will be counted in any package chosen, if you decide not to enroll in the course the single lesson will be paid on site at a cost of 15€ each.
The month is intended to solar so it is possible that, for the same price, a month contains three, four or five lessons.
As monthly contribution, it means the four lessons of one hour each in a cycle of four weeks.
As a quarterly contribution, this means the twelve lessons of one hour each in a twelve-week cycle.
As an annual contribution, this means the thirty-two lessons of one hour each in a thirty-two-week cycle.
In order to fall within the number of scheduled lessons, it may be necessary to overrun in the month following the end of the course.
It is counted as an average of four lessons per month.

In Lindy Hop there is no term man and woman, but leader and follower, those who lead and those who follow, regardless of gender.
The teachers, if they deem it necessary, for the regular course of the lesson, may be required to dance with people of the same sex.
During our classes the couples rotate to allow everyone to dance with everyone, it is therefore considered mandatory to change partners when the teachers request it.
Classes have a maximum number of participants based on the capacity of the room, to ensure movement and the possibility for teachers to follow the class.
The Website manages automatically the enrollments and the parity between leaders and followers, that is who leads and who follows, with a minimum disparity, however if you are not admitted to the course you will receive a notice by email at the address you provided during the registration to the Website and you will be put on the waiting list until there are no available places.
Lindy Hop in Florence would like to point out that, being disciplines originating in America, all the activities promoted could have explanations and/or terms exclusively in English.

If the student has been absent for some time, he/she can rejoin the course only if the teachers allow it and in any case by paying the fee for the period in which he/she was absent.
Every week will be uploaded in the personal area of the user regularly enrolled in an active course the video summary of the lesson previously held.
However, the regular upload of the video depends on the progress of the individual class and the lessons carried out, the technical, theoretical and musical videos will not be published for the copyright of the teachers.
The video does not replace the lesson but is only a brief summary of what was done with a description of the step.
All the videos of each course will be visible for at least two years to give the user the opportunity to review, memorize and remove any doubt.
