Lindy Hop Beginners’ Weekend: Learn to dance in a weekend! May 9–10

Get ready for the highlight of the spring! Join us for an intensive weekend where you’ll learn the basics of Lindy Hop—the original swing dance from 1930s Harlem. We promise a workout that beats the gym, combined with more fun than you’ve had in weeks!

What is Lindy Hop?

Lindy Hop is the “mother of all swing dances.” It’s a joyful, improvisational partner dance born at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem during the late 1920s. It’s a mix of jazz, Charleston, and tap, known for its energy and rhythm. Today, it’s a global phenomenon loved for its social community and the pure happiness it brings to the dance floor!

Quick Facts

  • ⏰ Time: Saturday & Sunday, May 9-10, 11:00 – 16:00 (incl. 1h lunch)
  • 📍 Location: Karavan (New part), Rolfsgatan 7B, Malmö.
    Note: The entrance is around the corner from the main Karavan entrance!

Newsletter: Blues Start, Acrobatics, Balboa Party!

Spring brings lots of dancing! Here are the most important updates from the HepTown crew, especially for those curious about Blues, Balboa, or taking your Lindy Hop to the next level.

In this issue:


🚨 1. Lea’s Blues Course starts THIS SUNDAY (Feb 22)!

We already have a fantastic group registered, but we have a large venue and want you there too!

👉 SPECIAL OFFER: TRY IT FIRST!
We are so convinced you’ll love this that you can try the first class this Sunday for free! Register via the link and write “TRY IT FIRST” in the comment. If it doesn’t feel right, just cancel afterwards at no cost.

🕺 Already a member? Join the social dance for free!

» Register for the Blues course here

🎷 2. Article: Busting the myths about Blues!

We know that many (especially Lindy and Swing dancers) love blues music but hesitate to step onto the blues floor. A very common misconception is that blues dancing always has to be a super intimate, hugging-in-the-dark kind of dance.

Let’s bust that myth! Sure, blues can be intimate – “Close Embrace” is fantastic when you have the technique and both partners choose to dance close. But blues is so much more! It’s Jookin’, playful conversations in open position, solo moves, and an unbeatable way to train your musicality. In Lea’s course, you’ll get the tools to become truly comfortable on the blues floor.

👟 3. Lindy Hop & Aerials

  • Lindy Hop Aerials (Acrobatics): Don’t miss the beginners’ workshop in Malmö on April 11-12! Learn acrobatic moves in a safe way. Read all about our Aerials courses here.
  • B-courses starting soon: High time to register! The next step after your beginners class.
  • C-course starts Sunday, Feb 22: You can still join the C-course starting this Sunday.
  • E in Lund & F in Malmö: Registration is open and spots are left.

Lindy Hop Aerials, Beginners Workshop in Malmö with LinaMaria and Mattias!

Lindy Hop Aerials, Beginners Workshop with LinaMaria and Mattias!

English below,

Workshopen omfattar åtta timmars undervisning under två dagar och kommer att ta upp grundläggande teknik (hållning, timing, landning, uppvärmning etc.) för att arbeta med aerials.

Flera enkla, men effektfulla, aerials ingår men även mer avancerade aerials att arbeta vidare med efter helgen.

Kursen riktar sig till främst till akrobatiknybörjare men även par med tidigare erfarenhet är välkomna att repetera och jobba vidare med de mer avancerade aerialsen. Det finns inga krav på nivå inom Lindy Hop, alla är välkomna.

Under workshopen arbetar man tillsammans med samma partner och därför rekommenderar vi att man anmäler sig i par.

När: 11-12 april, Lördag & Söndag: 11:00 – 16:00 (lunch 13:00-14:00)
Var: Festsalen, Ungdomens hus, Norra Skolgatan 10 B, 211 52 Malmö

Kostnad: 1150 kr (Ungdom/Student 690 kr)
För ungdomsrabatt upp till 26 år använd koden UNG
För studentrabatt används koden STU

Anmälan:
https://dans.se/heptown/shop/new?event=274917

Ta med träningskläder och inomhusskor med bra dämpning, undvik svarta skosulor.

Kursen arrangeras av Mattias och LinaMaria i samarbete med Heptown, www.heptown.com Om ni har några frågor så skriv till mattias.bruzelius@gmail.com eller limabe2014@gmail.com.

Deltagande sker på egen risk men vi kommer att lära ut samtliga aerials steg för steg tillsammans med passare för att det skall kännas och vara tryggt och säkert.

Dansetikett: Aerials är väldigt roliga och effektfulla att göra men p.g.a. av skaderisken skall de inte göras på socialdansgolvet. Aerials passar däremot väldigt bra på uppvisningar, i jam circles eller vid sidan av dansgolvet!


The workshop includes eight hours of teaching over two days and will cover basic techniques (stance, timing, landing, warm-up, etc.) for working with aerials.
Several simple, but effective, aerials are included but also more advanced air aerials to work on after the weekend.

The course is aimed at aerial beginners, but couples with previous experience are also welcome to rehearse and take part in the more advanced aerials. There are no level requirements regarding Lindy Hop, everyone is welcome.

During the workshop you will work together with the same partner and therefore it is recommended that you register in pairs.

When: 11 – 12 April, Saturday & Sunday: 11:00 – 16:00 (lunch 13:00-14:00)
Where: Festsalen, Ungdomens hus, Norra Skolgatan 10 B, 211 52 Malmö

Cost: 1150 kr (Youth/Student 690kr)
Youth discount for 26 years and below use booking code UNG
Student discount use booking code STU

Registration:
https://dans.se/heptown/shop/new?event=274917

Bring training clothes and indoor shoes with good dampening, avoid black soles.

The workshop is arranged by Mattias and LinaMaria in collaboration with Heptown. If you have any questions, write to mattias.bruzelius@gmail.com or limabe2014@gmail.com.

Participation is at your own risk, but we will teach all aerials step by step together with a spotter so that it will feel and be safe and secure.

Dance Etiquette: Aerials are very fun and spectacular to do but due to of the risk of injury you should not do them on the social dance floor. Aerials, on the other hand, are very suitable for shows, in jam circles or beside the dance floor!

AERIAL
A Aerial (also acrobatic or air step) is a dance move in Lindy Hop where one’s feet leave the floor. The term has come to mean a wide range of special and unusual dance moves, including dips, slides, and tricks.

✨ Description ✨

Cats’ Corner Malmö welcomes you to a weekend full of Collegiate Shag! Shag is a playful, fast and fun swing dance from the 20’s and 30’s. This dance is also known for being commonly used when cartoon characters dance, for example this Donald Duck cartoon from the 40’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxlWddHzkwc&t=221s

We’re very excited to welcome Niomi McSorley (DK) and Sofie Skaneby (SE) to teach this workshop. These excellent, experienced, and expressive dancers will inspire you to shag like never before!

The level will be open, which means a focus on basics that will be suitable both for dancers that haven’t tried Collegiate Shag at all before and those that have tried it before but feel rusty!

The workshop will also include a Saturday party, entrance to which is included with the workshop!

Exploring New Digital Frontiers. Follow HepTown Beyond Facebook

We are expanding our digital presence! To reduce our reliance on Facebook and offer you more privacy-focused alternatives, we are now testing information feeds on Signal, Telegram, and Mastodon.

We want to let you choose the platform that suits you best. Here is how they work and where to find us.

📢 TELEGRAM (Recommended for News)

Our Telegram channel is the closest alternative to our Facebook page. It acts as a public broadcast where you can easily scroll back and see old posts, videos, and history.

🔒 SIGNAL (Privacy Focused)

For those who prefer Signal, we have created an announcement group. Note: Unlike Telegram, you will not see any posts made before you joined. You will only receive updates moving forward.

⚠️ Important Privacy Setting: In a Signal group, other members can technically see the member list. If you want to keep your phone number private, you must change your settings:

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy > Phone Number.
  2. Set “Who can see my number” to Nobody.

🐘 MASTODON (The Social Network)

Mastodon is a decentralized, ad-free social network similar to X (Twitter) but without a central owner, prioritizing user privacy. We have chosen to host our account on mastodon.nu, a reliable, Nordic-focused server hosted within the EU to ensure strict data protection.


What about Course Groups?

For now, our course discussions remain where they are. However, both Signal and Telegram offer excellent features for discussion groups. We are looking into moving specific course chats and community discussions to these platforms in the future if/when we decide to move away from Facebook Groups entirely.

We are also keeping an eye on other community-based alternatives, though we are mindful of not introducing too many new apps with unfamiliar interfaces at once.

See you on the other side!
