Mods vs Rockers Malmö

Dagens agenda:

Rockers:
Davidshallstorg, där vi samlats tidigare år, liknar mer eller mindre en byggarbetsplats för tillfället. Därför tänkte jag möta upp våra danska vänner på Shell-macken i Lockarp kl 11.00. De Rockers som så önskar är naturligtvis välkomna att samlas där så kör vi kl 11:30 via en mindre omväg tillsammans genom stan till Stortorget.

Mods:
Mods samlas vid Lokstallarna i Kirseberg kl 11:30. Kl 11:45 blir det gemensam avfärd mot Stortorget.

Kl 12:00 strålar vi samman på var sin sida om passagen över torget som tidigare år.

Kl 13:00 kör de Rockers och Mods som så önskar med till Hepcat Store i Lund förslagsvis via gamla Lundavägen där tidsenlig Bullens varmkorv, läsk och kaffe finns tillhanda.

——————————————————-

Helgen den 21-23 augusti håller Modsen Europa-träff i Malmö vilken innebär att stan kommer att översvämmas av parkasklädda lymlar i ett moln av tvåtakts-rök. Kl 12:00 den 23 augusti kommer de att breda ut sig på Stortorget i Malmö eftersom det enligt utsago inte finns några Rockers kvar i regionen.

Så kan vi väl ändå inte ha det?!

Jag sänder därför ut ett SOS och en vädjan till mina klubbkompisar i Ton Up Denmark och mina svenska Rockervänner att möta upp på Stortorget i Malmö vid kl 12 söndagen den 23 augusti.

Vi skall försöka hålla oss till tidsenliga fordon, d.v.s. i första hand engelska caferacers från 60-talet eller äldre. Även andra hojar som är från 60-tal eller äldre är välkomna och caferacers från 70-talet går säkert också bra. Vissa nyare retrohojar går ju även de knappt att skilja från det man körde på 60-talet.
Kort sagt, om ett foto av din hoj görs svart vitt och det ser ut som 60-tal är du välkommen.
Kör du annan typ av hoj är du naturligtvis välkommen som åskådare men parkera då din MC en bit bort.

Även klädsel är viktigt. Engelsk Rocker-stil eller skandinavisk skinnknutte-stil är det som gäller.

Ang Covid-19:
Det är viktigt att vi följer gällande rekommendationer. Vi undviker i år de annars så vanliga kamratliga kramarna och även att skaka hand. Att t.ex. hälsa med armbågarna har blivit ett tillfälligt substitut. Tänk på att hålla minst en armlängds avstånd och stanna hemma om du känner minsta förkylningssymptom dagarna innan eventet.

Juridiskt förtydligande:
Detta är två separata evenemang under samma paraply. Scooterister har sin separata körning och motorcyklister sin separata körning. Under en kortare tid strålar dessa två körningar samman på Stortorget i Malmö men på var sin sida av passagen över torget.

Hepcat Store + Garage Bar = sant!

På lördag den 29 augusti kommer Garage bar från Höganäs med sin food truck och deras fantastiska burgare!

Vagnen kommer stå en bit bort, på andra sidan av parkeringen så att vi kan hålla gott avstånd.

I butiken och utanför där vi även firar Record Store Day 2020 gäller samma saker som innan, håll avstånd och ha ett sunt förnuft så fixar vi detta också.

### Som alltid i dessa tider VIKTIGT att vi sköter avstånd och annat!

Lindy Hop Aerials Workshop September 2020

Lets try again, come fly with us!

LinaMaria & Mattias together with Cats’ Corner, Karavan and Swing Station presents Lindy Hop Aerials Workshop September 2020!

19-20 of September will be two days of thrilling and challenging aerial adventures together with LinaMaria & Mattias in the safe environment of Karavan.

The workshop includes 8 hours of teaching during Saturday & Sunday with a nice long lunch break 12.30-14.00. We will talk about basic techniques (posture, timing, landing, warm up, etc) and go through some of the basic aerials (air steps) common in lindy hop, but also try some more advanced once individually based on the experience and ambitions of the participating couples. For the couples with previous experience of aerials we will put the aerials into small routines.

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 och få in det i sin dans. Flera enkla, effektfulla, aerials ingår samt mer avancerade aerials att arbeta vidare med efter helgen, allt beroende på nivå och intresse hos deltagarna. För de par som har tidigare erfarenhet av aerials kommer vi jobba med att arbeta in materialet i små rutiner.

Alla, nybörjare som erfarna, är välkomna att repetera samt ta del av de mer avancerade aerialsen. Under workshopen arbetar man tillsammans med samma partner och därför krävs det att man anmäler sig i par!!!

När: 19-20 September
Lördag: 10:30 – 12:30, 14:00 – 16:00
Söndag: 10:30 – 12:30, 14:00 – 16:00
Var: Karavan, Bokgatan 18, 214 34 Malmö
Pris: 800kr

Anmälan: http://catscorner.se/kurs-event/

Covid-19: Under workshopen kommer du bara arbeta med din dans-/akropartner samt ett par till (för pass/hjälp).
Såklart skall man stanna hemma om man känner sig sjuk, använda handsprit etc.

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!

Välkommna!
Mattias & LinaMaria i samarbete med Cats’ Corner, Karavan och Swing Station

Swing “Moon River” Walk: Lomma – Lund 10km

År 1961 gav Henry Mancini och Johny Mercer ut låten “Moon River”. Nu är det 2020, vi har inte fått dansa som på ett halvår och ingen vet när saker blir som vanligt igen. Men tills dess kan vi vandra tillsammans längs Höje å från havet vid Lomma till Lund.

Söndag 16 augusti kl. 10:00 startar vandringen från Lomma busstation. Omkring 13:30 – 14:00 är vi framme vid Rådmansvången i Lund. Då har vi vandrat ca 10 km. Medtag fika och möt hösten genom att se landskapet ur helt nya perspektiv!

Vid Rådmansvången finns en vacker park där vi kan avsluta med lunch. Den som inte haft möjlighet att vara med på vandringen är välkommen att möta upp där.

Anmäl gärna deltagande till initiativtagare Nils-Erik Norrby, nils-erik@forshult.nu, 072 525 1848 och hör gärna av dig om du har frågor. Välkomna!

Vänliga hälsningar

Swing in the park 12/8 Season finale!

Yes, HepTown and Sommar Lund invites you to swing in the park every Wednesday from the 1st of July to 12th of August.

Tonight we give you the opportunity to try Lindy Hop. An Afro-American swing dance from Harlem NY that is danced all over the world.

*Tonight will do the class without the usual partner rotation*

After that more experienced dancers can continue to work on our their solo swing dance as it’s an important and fun part of becoming excellent Lindy Hoppers.

### HOURS
+ Open: 18.30 – 2100.
+ Cost: Free*
+ Easy class: 18:30-19:20, Beginners’ Lindy Hop
+ Teacher: LinaMaria & Håkan
+ Challenging class: 19:30-20:30, big recap of most of them
+ Teacher: LinaMaria & Mattias
+ Solo swing dance jam: 20.30-21:00
+ Full summer schedule: shorturl.at/kKLO4

*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/

### 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 we are considering

+ Authentic jazz solo dance classes instead of coupled Lindy Hop.
+ Beginners Lindy Hop without rotating partner.
+ Opting out the social dance part or making it a solo jazz jam.
+ Extra dance floor outside the tent makes lots of space to keep distance.
+ 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. There is a roof over the dance floor if it should happen to rain.

### LOCATION
The dance-floor will be located at Söderlyckan a little bit south Stadsparken i Lund. Close to Söderlyckan Skateboardpark Lund and Mejeriet. Map: https://goo.gl/maps/f2UPVyj2Kdq1XGfY6

### 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 but without rotating partners or 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…

### HOURS

### 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 we are considering

+ Authentic jazz solo dance classes instead of coupled Lindy Hop.
+ Beginners Lindy Hop without rotating partner.
+ Opting out the social dance part or making it a solo jazz jam.
+ Extra dance floor outside the tent makes lots of space to keep distance.
+ 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. There is a roof over the dance floor if it should happen to rain.

### LOCATION
The dance-floor will be located at Söderlyckan a little bit south Stadsparken i Lund. Close to Söderlyckan Skateboardpark Lund and Mejeriet. Map: https://goo.gl/maps/f2UPVyj2Kdq1XGfY6
