Dance Camp Level Guide: Choosing the Right Course for You
Dance styles
At the Summer Jamboree Dance Camp you can learn various different styles of dance.
In particular, there are lessons in Boogie Woogie, Lindy Hop, Balboa, Jive, Shim Sham, Collegiate Shag, Solo Tap, Big Apple and Solo Jazz.
Boogie Woogie describes a lively style of jazz music that really came into its own in the 1920s. The dance we know today came along a little later and was inspired by the swing dances of the 40s and 50s. It is a fun and happy partner dance, that is not choreographed, and is often danced to up-tempo rock’n’roll or rhythm’n’blues rhythms.
Lindy Hop is a partnered Swing dance that was born in Harlem in the late 1920s and is synonymous with the Swing era and dance halls (and indeed street corners!) of the 1930s & 1940s. After it’s revival in the 1980s and 1990s its popularity has exploded worldwide, and over the years it has developed many different styles. It is danced to many styles of music, not just jazz, and is very social and improvisational in nature.
While the term Jive has its roots in 1920s America, the dance as we know it emerged in the 1940s with the American GIs and the big bands of the day. As a partnered social dance, Jive evolved from the more traditional ballroom dances, and was the precursor to Rock’n’Roll. It can vary in style, from smooth and gentle to lively and bouncy – like rockabilly jive for example! And it is danced to varied tempos and genres of music from Swing to Rock’n’Roll and Rhythm’n’Blues.
Balboa is a partnered Swing dance that dates back to the 20s, 30s and 40s, and evolved as a reaction to the crowded dance floors of the day. It is often danced to faster swing and jazz rhythms, and so the footwork tends to be smaller and smoother, and the embrace between partners much closer than the other swing dances.
Tap dance has a long history and was particularly popular during the Vaudeville era of the early 20th Century, and the Jazz and Swing era of the 1930s and 1940s, where some steps even found their way into the Lindy Hop. Solo Tap consists of percussive jazz steps performed to different rhythms. No tap shoes required!
Solo Jazz refers to free or improvised dance to jazz music, without a partner. Combining traditional jazz steps and routines from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, you can play with rhythm patterns, syncopation, musicality, improvisation and interpretation. Solo Jazz can also help improve your understanding of rhythm and musicality and add styling to your partner dancing.
Collegiate Shag is a high energy partner dance originating from the 1920s and 1930s and is experiencing a huge revival on the Swing scene today. It is danced to many styles of music from jazz and swing to western swing and even rock’n’roll, and often to fast tempos! It shares rhythm patterns with other swing dances, however the footwork and the hold is quite different.
The Shim Sham originated as a tap routine in the 1930s, which was often performed at the end of a show and included as many dancers, performers and even members of the audience as possible! Inevitably the routine eventually found its way to the dance floor, and in the 1980s was revived by Lindy Hop pioneer Frankie Manning. The now world-famous routine as we know it today is usually danced socially, in lines, without the taps, and is truly iconic within the Swing dance and Lindy Hop Community. The Shim Sham is suitable for all ages and all levels of experience, and is a great introduction to Solo Jazz.
The Big Apple was a very popular circle dance in the late 1930s. It is danced to swing music, and it is made up of a series of jazz steps that can either be performed in response to a caller, or performed in sequence as a routine.

Summer Jamboree Boot Camp is an intensive course designed to take you from level 0 to level 1 in a short space of time.

Dance styles
Each day there will be a 3 hour Boot Camp session (with breaks – don’t panic!) in either Boogie Woogie, Lindy Hop, Balboa or Jive.
The programme
Dance Camp and Boot Camp will take place over 8 days (from 1 August to 8 August) with lessons based in 3 different locations all within close proximity to each other.

Frequently asked questions
- Dance Camp
The Summer Jamboree Dance Camp will take place from Saturday 1 August to Saturday 8 August 2026 in Senigallia, Italy.
The Summer Jamboree Dance Camp will take place at three large locations in the centre of Senigallia.
Each day we have a programme of 15 lessons, split over 3 spacious rooms, featuring lessons of different styles and fit for every level of dancer from some of the best international teachers on the scene. Dances include Boogie Woogie, Lindy Hop, Balboa, Jive, Solo Tap and Solo Jazz.
The courses are different every day, and so are the teachers, so for example, two beginner Boogie Woogie classes are unlikely to be exactly the same, even if taught by the same teachers. They will be pitched at the same level, but could vary in style, technique, content and of course teaching methods!
Also, the courses aren’t progressive, so if you join us on Sunday and want to take beginners classes, you won’t be left behind.
No! With a day ticket, you are free to choose up to 5 lessons a day. You don’t have to decide which lessons in advance, you can choose (and change your mind!) on the day, and you are free to choose classes that include a range of different styles and levels, according to your interests and abilities.
To ensure everyone has an engaging learning experience, the Summer Jamboree Dance Camp courses are divided into four different levels. We invite you to read the descriptions below carefully in order to choose the lessons that are best for you.
Level 1
Level 1 is for people who have never danced before, or people that haven’t been dancing for very long, or who aren’t that confident with the basics yet. It is also ideal for those who want to start again after a long break, or return to the fundamental basics. You will learn the basic steps, the structure of the dance and the first elements of connection with the partner, whilst having fun of course!
Level 2
Level 2 is aimed for people who have already covered the basics and are familiar with the basic steps, roles (leader/follower) and musical structure. At this level you will begin to work towards a higher awareness of rhythm, technique and coordination, consolidating everything that you have learnt so far and beginning to experiment with the first variations.
Level 3
Level 3 is intended for those who have been dancing for a while and have a solid grasp of the basics. At this level you will explore technique, musicality and connection, tackle new combinations and rhythmic variations, and begin to develop personal style.
Level 4
Level 4 is for experienced dancers who would like to explore style, precision and creativity. The material will be varied, sophisticated and technically challenging. This level requires a solid grasp of the fundamentals, a good understanding of rhythm, advanced technical ability, and an open mind when it comes to creative exploration. You will work on complex combinations, quality of movement, and musical interpretation.
Important! Please Note!
At the Summer Jamboree Dance Camp there are no auditions and levels are not assigned by teachers. Levels are chosen directly by participants at the time of registration. Out of respect for the teachers and your classmates — and to better enjoy the experience yourself — we kindly ask you to refer to this guide and evaluate your level honestly. Choosing the right level will allow you to learn more, have more fun, and make a valuable contribution to the quality of the entire group.
No, it is not obligatory to book as a couple. During the classes, partners rotate, so you will get to meet and dance with a variety of people. However, if you are booking without a partner, it is always a good idea to register early: places are allocated according to availability, and it is possible that places for either leaders or followers are temporarily blocked until a sufficient balance between leaders and followers is reached, at which point further places will be released. In the event that you don’t find availability for the day you are interested in, we suggest that you continue to check our website on a regular basis for newly released places, and subscribe to our waiting list to receive updates on available places.
We monitor the balance of leads and follows registered each day carefully, to try to ensure the best possible experience during the workshops. As we leave you free to choose your classes during the day, there is always a chance that more leads or follows may be present in any one single workshop, however for the total number of registrations each day, we work to ensure that the number of leads and follows is well balanced.
Lessons at the Summer Jamboree Dance Camp will be conducted in English. We are very proud of the calibre of our teachers that have a wealth of experience and expertise in teaching around the world, and are able to communicate ideas and instructions with success, using a variety of methods that transcend lingual barriers.
Dance Camp and Boot Camp offer two different learning experiences with the highest calibre of international teachers.
Dance Camp offers a rich selection of classes in varying styles and levels, so whichever day(s) you choose, and regardless of your level of experience, there is something for you! No two classes are the same, and the classes throughout the day(s) are not progressive, so you can mix and match your classes to suit your abilities and interests.
Boot Camp is aimed specifically at beginners with the intention of preparing new dancers (or indeed anyone that would like to refresh and brush up their basics) for the dance floor in a short period of time. It is more than a taster class, it is an intensive course of study that offers the opportunity to learn a lot and make rapid improvements, whilst having a lot of fun of course!

Depending on the capacity of the classes and only at the check-in door you can try to purchase a single lesson at the Dance Camp.
Advanced booking for a single lesson is not possible. If you want to join the Summer Jamboree Dance Camp and you can’t stay all day, it will be possible to do single lessons by going directly to the class you would like to take and paying on the door, if there is still place.
As it is very important to us to keep the classes well balanced, we cannot guarantee entrance to single leads or follows, however if numbers allow, you are most welcome.
On the door tickets cost 29 EURO per person, and 50 Euro each couple.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ADVANCED BOOKING IS NOT POSSIBLE.
We’re sorry, but it is not possible to have reimbursement once the booking is purchased and completed.
For all of the classes, we recommend that you wear comfortable and supportive shoes, without too much grip.
For the classes we recommend that you wear light and comfortable clothes. You might also want to consider bringing a change and a towel with you, it’s possible you might work up a sweat! Also bringing a bottle of water could be a good idea!
All of the classes are within a 7 minute walk of each other, so there is plenty of time to move from one class to another without breaking a sweat.
It is not possible for children under the age of 16 to register at the Summer Jamboree Dance Camp.
Persons of 16 or 17 years of age can register for the Summer Jamboree Dance Camp if accompanied by an adult.
We regret that it is not possible to admit children into the workshops. Neither is it possible to leave your children under the care of the Summer Jamboree Dance Camp staff or staff at the venue.
- Boot Camp
The Summer Jamboree Boot Camp will take place from Saturday 1 August to Saturday 8 August 2026 in Senigallia, Italy.
The Summer Jamboree Boot Camp will take place at the Rotonda a Mare, Piazzale della Libertà, Senigallia.
Summer Jamboree Boot Camp is a series of intensive courses designed to fast track your learning and get you ship-shape for the dance floor in a short space of time! It is aimed at beginners who are enthusiastic and motivated to learn, and eager to progress quickly to the next level.
At the Summer Jamboree this year, we are offering Boot Camp sessions in 4 different styles of dance to get you dance floor ready in the wink of an eye! Each day there will be a 3 hour Boot Camp session (with breaks – don’t panic!) dedicated to learning one of the following dance styles from scratch: Lindy Hop, Boogie Woogie, Jive or Balboa.
Launch yourself into the capable hands of our international teachers and enjoy practising the essential steps and skills at length in order to really master the basics. You will be in the safest of hands with our renowned and experienced teachers, who will guide you every step of the way to becoming a better dancer. The idea is that even if you have never danced before, by the end of a session you will be confident with the basic steps, comfortable dancing with a partner, have learnt some key moves, and are ready and raring to get on the dance floor!
Yes of course! You can choose between Boogie Woogie, Lindy Hop, Jive or Balboa – or try them all! Each session of 3 hours is intended to give you a good solid grip of the basics, and each session stands alone i.e. the sessions will not progressively get more difficult each day. So if you can only make it one day, you can dive straight in without worrying about what you might have missed the day before.
No, it is not obligatory to book as a couple. During the classes, partners rotate, so you will get to meet and dance with a variety of people. However, if you are booking without a partner, it is always a good idea to register early: places are allocated according to availability, and it is possible that places for either leaders or followers are temporarily blocked until a sufficient balance between leaders and followers is reached, at which point further places will be released.
