Level Progression Program

Our Level Progression Program is here to help guide students' learning and give some structure to our curriculum, plus give some great perks to reward your learning progress! First and foremost, participation in the program is entirely optional!

Our classes are listed at varying levels (Beginner, Improver, Intermediate, Experienced, or Advanced), but the prerequisites consist of classes or skills, not booklet completion. For example, if you have taken Charleston 1 and 2 (Improver level classes), you can take Tandem Charleston (an Intermediate level class) regardless of what level of booklet you have completed, if any at all!  Booklets can be picked up at any of our events at the front desk, or just ask a GJS Staff Member. GJS staff members can check your registrations and initial your booklet when you have finished a step.

Once you have completed a booklet, let a GJS staff member know or send us an email with a photo of your booklet. We'll confirm and get your rewards to you as soon as possible.
