Dansa pÄ Stockamöllan Swing Fest 25-26 maj 2018

Stockamöllan Àr en otroligt vacker by mitt i SkÄne. Sedan Gunhild Carling flyttade dit Àr dÀr Ärligen en swing och jazz festival. DÄ trÀnger artister, dansare och publik (frÄn hela vÀrlden) ihop sig i ett gigantiskt cirkustÀlt och Ätnjuter tre dagars festivalstÀmning..

25-26 maj 2018 bjuds du en sista gÄng in till en mindre, mer intim och mysigare swing fest i Kulturfabriken i Stockamöllan. Det blir tre separata spelningar. TvÄ för sittande publik samt en dÀr stolar röjs bort för att göra plats för dans.

# AnmÀlan / biljetter
Det blir tvÄ förestÀllningar för sittande publik och en för dansandes. Alla förestÀllningarna Àr i Kulturfabriken. (Inget cirkustÀlt)

Lördag, endast för dansare: 20.00 – 23.45
https://www.nortic.se/tickets/event/16869

Varför sÄ mycket billigare för dansarna?
Priset för dansbiljetter Àr helt klart mycket billigare Àn det borde vara men baseras pÄ Ärtionden av samarbeten och att det alltid varit viktig för Gunhild att det dansas till musiken

Dansbiljetter!!!!
Efter mĂ„nga turer blir det en extraförestĂ€llning pĂ„ lördagen den 26/5 kl 20-23 specifikt för oss som dansar! Efter den ordinarie showen som slutar kl 19 röjs stolarna undan och kl 20 öppnas dörrarna för oss dansare och alla banden spelar igen fram till Ă„tminstone 23 men förmodligen senare…

Priset Àr endast 150kr. Vilkoret Àr att du har ett medlemskort i nÄgon dansorganisation, spelar dock ingen roll vilken

https://www.nortic.se/tickets/event/16869

FÄr man stanna pÄ den sena om man redan köpt biljett till den tidiga?
Nej den sena showen ingĂ„r inte i den tidiga. MEN Ă€r du swingdansare fĂ„r du dispens mot uppvisande av swingout 😉

VolontÀr = fribiljett

Workshop: Aerials – focus on spotting, safety & building blocks

Have you been to our recent Beginner Aerial Workshop, and you feel like you need more practice? Or have you tried one of our previous aerial workshops, but you never got around to practicing the material more? Join this workshop in June, to wrap up / recap / clarify the technique of different aerials and focus on spotting while practicing them.

The workshop will be taught by Jonathan and Diane:
Jonathan, started aerials about 3.5 years with acrobatic R’n’R.
Since then he has been practicing and sharing knowledge about 2 times a week. Let’s say he knows the fundamentals.
‘Fear-less’ Diane, as a former rugby player, took off with Jonathan.
Together then can now do a decent amount of relatively complex moves and explain them.

We will give a strong enough background to understand and figure out how to practice aerials safely. We will introduce material that can be used in many aerials (we will not teach all the options but will explain how the building blocks can come together).
We will probably not ‘dance’ all the aerials but cover some way to lead them, initiate or abort them (all safely).
We will probably cover a ‘lot’ of material for 2 reasons:
(1) to see how you can use what you know (or learn on the day) a bit further.
(2) because it is less painful for your body than doing the same for hours.

PRICE: 200kr/person

TIME: 10am – 1pm
There will be no formal ‘break’ but because everyone will be spotting and there will be little dancing it will be easy to grab a snack or two.

LEVEL:
Open to all levels, any kind of dancer / acro-fan (really).
Just need to be able to jump, count ‘1-2- down-up’, and carry your own weight.

REGISTRATION
Register here: http://happyfeetstudio.dk/event/aerials-focus-spotting-safety-building-blocks/

PARTNER CHANGE
There will be partner change during the workshop. You will be able to match with people you feel confident to try things. And also try with people you may not be confident with at the beginning.
Learn how to build the trust and safety. Other experienced aerials dancers from CPH will be attending and will help in addition to Diane and Jonathan.

PROGRAM (preliminary):
10.00-10.30
– Intro + warm up + start exercises (balance, trust, etc.)
10.30-11.00
– Building trust and sense of timing/momentum with: Dips, slides, tricks, small jumps
11.00-11.45
– Slingshot(s) – Version of knickerbocker/backflip but safer we believe and very safe to spot, and easy to dance.
11.45-12.15
– Straddle and variations, depending on progress
(Straddle is a base for flick-straddle, candle, over the back,
swans, swing set, etc.)
12.15-12.45
– Shalom
(Ideally you know the tandem Charleston but not necessarily
This is an easy move, easy to spot that can lead to many
funny variations.)
12.45-13.00
– Wrapping up, question, recap, stretching.

Please note that on the day you will be asked to sign a form saying that you understand the rules of the workshop.

Lindy Hop Party & Workshop

☆ LEARN THE LINDY HOP ☆
Join us for a 4 hours beginners workshop, and have your swing dance party debut the very same night!

Have you heard about the lindy hop? It’s the happiest form of swing dance there is. Lindy hop is a partner dance that originates from Harlem, New York, in the 1930’s. It’s danced to the tunes of big bands, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. Today, lindy hop is an international phenomenon, danced worldwide.

Lindy hop could be the thing for you, if
☆ you’d like to learn how to dance
☆ jazz music makes you happy
☆ you like to move it, move it
☆ you’re looking for a hobby that’ll put a smile on your face

In May, you have a chance to try the lindy hop. The Copenhagen Lindy Exchange is the biggest swing dance event of Denmark, with five days of live music and dancers from more than 30 countries. Still interested? Awesome!

At the beginners workshop, you’ll learn some basic moves, that can get you through the night. Together with experienced teachers and other enthusiastic beginners, you’ll get to practice, try, and succeed!
After the beginners workshop, you’re invited to the Thursday party at Docken. Here, you’ll see for yourself what it’s really all about: Dancing, laughing, meeting people, and having an overall good time.

When dancing, we think it’s a thrill to dance to live music. And we’ll have that at the Thursday party! An incredible and experienced swing dance live band is coming to play for us: Gentlemen & Gangsters

Frequently Asked Questions

“When registering, I’m asked to choose a role: Follower or leader. What is that?”
Lindy hop is a partner dance, meaning you’re dancing with someone. When dancing, there’s two roles: A leader and a follower. The leader initiates the movement, suggesting directions. The follower responds to these suggestions, and has the option of adding spice to the movement. The two roles have the same basic footwork, but different characteristics.

“Do I have to register with someone?”
No, not at all. At the workshop, we will rotate partners, so that everybody get to dance with everybody. However, we will balance the workshop, so we have an even number of people leading and people following. This also means, that if you do register with someone, and you choose opposite roles, then we’ll be able to offer you a spot immediately.

“Why do we have to change partners during the workshop?”
Lindy hop is a danced based on leading and following, and different people lead and follow differently. We believe that you’ll learn these skills better, if you change partner, instead of dancing with the same person all the time.

“I registered, but I am on a waiting list”
First of all: Yay, you registered! Your place on the waiting list means, that the registration is unbalanced, and that we’re waiting for people to register with the opposite role of yours to sign up. So if you’re registering as a lead, and you’re on the waiting list, that means that we have too many registered leads, and we’re waiting for people to register as follows in order to balance it out.

“This all sounds amazing, but one day is not enough for me”
Fear not. Copenhagen has a lively scene for lindy hop, so if you happen to catch the lindy bug, there’s rich opportunity for you to join classes afterwards. For example in SwingShoes, our sponsor for the lindy exchange.
