Lightbulb Class levels: Icons & classifications

But no-one says the descriptions of the class have to be mini-essays - could be just a couple of words:
  • For a "high energy" class: "physically demanding" .
  • For a class with lots of moves: "complex routine".
  • For an AT class: "precise movements"
and so on.

Heck, you could even have icons for these if you want - that's what they do with hotel descriptions etc.
I really like this idea: so what icons can we have and what would they mean?

- Music notes: musicality
- Strong arm: physically fit
- Feet/step pattern: footwork
- Cyclone: spins
- Book: infomation & technical stuff
- Pretzel: moves

....

Re: Class levels: Icons & classifications

Erm...Surely we wouldn't need icons for individual styles of dance such as AT, Lindy, WCS, Salsa because these classes would probably be advertised as this style of dance.

Would it not be to try and discourage and encourage people. so if a class was going to be very energetic or require a high level of knowledge etc.

I think that's a generic "Ceroc here" dance icon, innit?
