→Intermediate Lady Styling- In the intermediate level of lady styling, dancers begin to add complex foot patterns/shines as well as begin to incorporate continuous styling from one 8 count to the next. This requires great practice and memory. The dancer at this level will be adding different variations of styling to each movement.

→Professional Lady Styling- At the professional level of lady styling, the dancer will not only be able to style incredible complex movements, but also at a very fast pace and execute the movement perfectly.
