Jennys Jazz part 1: Solo Moves

Jenny loves to solo dance! Her 3 part workshop will help you improve your solo jazz and help you feel more comfortable to improvise during social dancing both individually, with others or with your dance partner!

These 3 workshops are not about learning a routine or the ‘perfect/correct’ way of solo jazz dancing, these workshops are about learning to have fun with solo jazz and getting yourself more comfortable with experimenting and solo social dancing to swing music!

MANDATORY REGISTRATION

Workshop part 1 solo moves: learn a handful of different basic solo jazz moves to help build you solo jazz vocabulary. No previous experience required

Workshop part 2 solo improvisation and experimentation: we will build on the basic moves and learn to dance freely and expressively, you will learn tips and tricks to experiment and play around with the moves which can be applied to solo or partner dancing Requirements: basic solo moves experience and/or workshop 1

Workshop part 3 social solo jazz: learn to dance solo jazz socially, no need to be scared it’s super fun and this class will show you! Social solo dancing is also perfect for these weird pandemic times. Requirements workshop 1&2 or basic solo jazz experience

Sensommarswing med Swing Street Trio

Picknickkonsert på dansbanan – medtag gärna egen picknick, dansskorna & en danspartner. Pris 150 kr. Subventionerat pris 120 kr om du kommer till fots eller cyklar. Bokning sker via mail till theswingstreetorchestra@gmail.com

Swing Street Trio med LinaMaria Bengtsson på sång, Nick Christie på gitarr och Jens Lindström på bas spelar jazzklassiker med engelska och svenska texter i lekfulla arrangemang.

Ett tips för den utomsocknes är att ta tåget till Tjörnarps station och cykla 7 km på trevlig grusväg. Ett annat tips är att boka in sig på Gamla Skolans röda folkabuss (8 platser) som hämtar upp vid Tjörnarps station 14.20 och lämnar av vid densamma 18.30

På Gamla Skolan befinner du dig i lantlig miljö bland tjattrande höns och ankor, hund och katt, gårdspump och utedass, i vackra omgivningar i hjärtat av Skåne.

Registration is open!? And the last Swing in the park


I
kväll 4/8 är sista Swing in the park! Kvällen inkluderar nybörjarkurs, en avrostningskurs för de som behöver komma igång efter uppehåll, samt dans till swingDJ. Tidigare på kvällen erbjuds även en inofficiell akrobatikkurs

Avrostningskurser blir det även i Malmö som temakurser med start redan 18/8 då det förmodligen även någon typ av socialdans med Cats Corner i salen nedanför kl 18-21…

Flera nybörjarhelger i Lindy Hop är redan öppna för anmälan med den första utomhus nu i helgen den 7-8 augusti!

Kurserna som pausades hösten 2020 har nu fått nya datum i september hösten 2021. Några har t.o.m. platser kvar och är öppna för anmälan. Om du hade en plats är den fortfarande din.

I oktober börjar vi sen en helt ny hösttermin. Alla detaljer är inte spikade. Mer information kommer löpande här och anmälan öppnar kl 12 den 12 augusti.

Vi gör vårt bästa för att följa och överträffa gällande restriktioner. När du dansar hos oss förbinder du dig att gör det samma. Se vad som gäller här inkluderar information om rotation och hur det funkar utan partner. Vi kommer att vara försiktiga under hösten trots att många då kommer att vara vaccinerade.

Håll ut, ta han om och vaccinera dig så kan vi snart dansa som vanligt igen…

Swing in the park 21/7 Lindy Hop beginners & Swing DJ

On the 21th of July there is a Lindy Hop Class for beginners…

You can’t book these evenings in advance. Just be there early to grab one of the 50 spots for each part.

HOURS

  • Open: 18.30 – 21.00
  • Cost: Free*
  • Beginners Lindy Hop, 18:30-19:20
  • Swing DJ: 19.30-21:00**
  • Schedule: bit.ly/swingitp

*As part of Sommarlund this is a free event but you are very welcome to support us by becoming a HepCat member.
https://www.heptown.com/member/

** For the swing DJ set you are welcome to solo dance or social dance with 1 fixed partner. No switching partners until most of us are vaccinated.

In the autumn, when we are vaccinated, we will go back to the normal state where everyone just dances with everyone.

50 PEOPLE LIMIT

To ensure that we are a maximum of 50 people inside the fences around the dance floor, SommarLund has extra staff on site to hand out 50 tags (Dansband). When you go home (or take a longer break) you leave your tag which is then disinfected. There are extra tags to be handed out while the disinfected ones are left to dry.

IS THIS REALLY A GOOD IDEA!?

It will not be business as usual. We strive to follow and surpass guidelines and recommendations.

Some examples of measurements:

  • More authentic jazz solo dance classes instead of just coupled Lindy Hop.
  • Beginners Lindy Hop without rotating partner.
  • No traditional social dance where everyone dances with everyone
  • Fenced dance area with a limit of 50 people at once

MORE THAN DANCING

This is also a good time to have picnic or barbecue while keeping good distance, play some games or just lounging in the sun.

LOCATION

The dance-floor will be located at Stadsparken in Lund. Close to Söderlyckan Skateboardpark Lund and Mejeriet. Map: https://goo.gl/maps/f2UPVyj2Kdq1XGfY6

STAY HYDRATED

Bring your own water bottle that can be refilled outside the toilets opposite the skate park. https://goo.gl/maps/RfmjSwmHGfT7prkt9

SWING DANCE TASTER CLASS

The evenings used to always start with a short taster class in Lindy Hop aka jitterbug , an African American couple dance from the ’30s Harlem and we will still do this the evenings in July but without rotating partners. Most other evenings we will teach Tap or Authentic jazz solo dance classes instead. Authentic Jazz is a big part of the Lindy Hop scene and a really good way to get your body moving and feel the rhythm…

Lindy Hop Aerials Taster (in the park) 14/7

Come fly with us! Again!

Välkommna till Lindy Hop Aerials Taster med LinaMaria & Mattias i gröngräset bredvid Sommarlunds dansbana!

Alla, nybörjare som erfarna, är välkomna att vara med! Vi kommer att anpassa nivån efter behov.

Under workshopen arbetar man tillsammans med samma partner och därför krävs det att man anmäler sig/dyker upp i par!

När: 14 Juli, 17:00-18:15 (ca:)
Var: Bredvid Sommarlunds dansbana
Pris: 100kr/pers
Anmälan: Swisha 100kr till Mattias (0702-26 35 34) i förväg eller betala på plats. Vi kan bara vara ett begränsat antal så vill ni säkra er plats så anmäl er i förväg.

Ps: Detta event är inte del av Sommarlund eller Heptowns Swing in the Park som dock är i direkt anslutning…

Dansetikett: Aerials är väldigt roliga och effektfulla att göra men p.g.a. av skaderisken för dig, din partner och de andra dansarna på dansgolvet skall man undvika att göra dem på socialdansgolvet. Gör framförallt inte aerials med någon som inte är beredd. Aerials passar däremot väldigt bra på uppvisningar, i jam circles eller vid sidan av dansgolvet!

If and when we reach 80 people on the floor at any given time, we will rotate the dance floor every 4th dance. The DJ will announce this, and you will be given instructions on how to proceed.

IS THIS REALLY A GOOD IDEA!?

It will not be business as usual. We strive to follow and surpass guidelines and recommendations.
Some examples of measurements:
+ More authentic jazz solo dance classes instead of just coupled Lindy Hop.
+ Beginners Lindy Hop without rotating partner.
+ No traditional social dance where everyone dances with everyone
+ Fenced dance area with a limit of 80 people at once
+ A disinfection table will be set up.

MORE THAN DANCING

This is also an excellent time to have a picnic or barbecue while keeping a good distance, play some games or just lounging in the sun.

LOCATION

The dance floor will be located at Ribban in Malmö. Close to “Kallis”.

STAY HYDRATED

Bring your own water bottle that can be refilled outside the toilets.

SWING DANCE TASTER CLASS

The evenings used to always start with a short taster class in Lindy Hop aka jitterbug, an African American couple dance from the ’30s Harlem and we might still do this in the evenings in August but without rotating partners. Most other evenings we will teach Tap or Authentic jazz solo dance classes instead. Authentic Jazz is a big part of the Lindy Hop scene and a really good way to get your body moving and feel the rhythm.

WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER SWING DANCE EVENTS AND CLASSES!?

Cats’ Corner will hopefully restart its weekly classes and weekly social dances in the autumn. More info will be posted to our Facebook page and our homepage www.catscorner.se
If you are interested in beginners Lindy Hop classes do check out our good friends over at Heptown.

40-talshelg på Fredriksdal

I fjol var det 75 år sedan kriget tog slut. När passar det bättre att fira det än under demokratins år 2021? Under två dagar i augusti blir Fredriksdal 1940-tal med levande historiegestaltare, musik och föredrag. Möt amerikanska soldater, britter, fransmän, beredskapssoldater mfl.
I år är helgen restriktionsanpassad och grupperna är utspridda över ett större område än tidigare år.

Under åren mellan 1939 och 1945 pågick Andra världskriget. Finland var involverad i strider mot Sovjetunionen. Danmark och
Norge ockuperades av tyska trupper. Flyktingar tog sig över sundet i hemmagjorda båtar tillverkade av brädlappar och tyg. Över sundet transporterades tyska soldater på väg mot Norge. Barn och vuxna vaknade på nätterna och hörde allierade bombplan på väg mot mål på Tyskt territorium.
En dramatisk tid när demokrati och fred försvarades av kvinnor, män och barn i de ockuperade länderna, MOTSTÅNDSRÖRELSE.
Under två dagar har du chans att få uppleva en liten del av detta.
Då det gäller levandegörande av historia tänker många på vikingatid och medeltid men på Fredriksdal 21-22 augusti har ni möjlighet att få träffa historiska återskapare som gestaltar soldater och civila under 1940-talet. Missa inte möjligheten att lyssna på musiken, prata med deltagarna och ta del av deras kunskaper. Känn lukten och hör ljuden.

Naturligtvis blir inte helgen som den brukar, deltagarna kommer att vara lite färre, lite mer utspridda och det sker inte lika mycket men tillsammans skapar vi en känsla av 1940-talet trots situationen med ständigt nya förändringar i restriktionerna kring Covid 19.
