Velkommen til swingdansundervisning i Absalon hver mandag kl. 18.45-19.45.
Kom og lær den populære swingdans Lindy Hop, der stammer fra 1930’erne og 40’ernes USA. Lindy hop er en sjov og social pardans med masser af energi, som primært danses til swingmusik. Vi skifter partner undervejs i timen, så du kan sagtens komme uden partner.
Holdet er et åbent hold for begyndere og alle andre, der lyster. Du vil altid kunne følge med, også selvom du ikke har været med før.
Swingdans får dig til at smile og grine, og får rytmen ind i kroppen på en skøn og energisk måde. Og måske du kan blive stjernen på dansegulvet til den næste fest!
Medbring flade, glatte sko og måske en ekstra T-shirt til bagefter. Vi får varmen!
Pris: 50 kr. Lokale: ‘Klubben’ på 1. sal
Betal pr gang, eller køb et 10-turs kort til 500 kr. Med kortet kan du gå direkte op til holdet og skal ikke stå i kø hver gang. Det har ingen udløbsdato og I kan sagtens bruge det sammen to og to;)
Vi glæder os til at swinge med jer Bedste hilsner Mathilde, Søren og Absalon

Christmas and family has been taking our time and we are soon entering a new year. Tonight is all about having a good time together, in our last social dance of 2017. No drop-in class, just dancing, hanging out, sharing wishes for the new (blues)year to come.
Vi har den kæmpe fornøjelse at byde velkommen til ét af Sveriges bedste lindy hop live bands, måske det allerbedste. Det siger ikke så lidt, for Sverige har rigtig mange utroligt gode swingbands.
You are hereby invited to the big New Year’s Eve Party in Happy Feet Studio!
Dance your way into the new year with all your swing dancing friends. There will be dancing games, bubbles, Snowball live stream, and much more. The party will be hosted by Kuno & Gosia, who have many fun activities planned for the evening.
The preliminary program: 17.30: Welcome drink is served (will be available until 18.30) 18.00: The Queens New Year Speech (Dronningens Nytårstale) on big screen. 18.30: Dinner is served – Delicious New Year’s eve buffet. 19.30: Les Lancier (for beginners) and other fun dancing games organized by Kuno 20.30: Dessert and coffee/tea. 21.00: The dance floor is open to swingin’ tunes by DJ. 23.40: The classic comedy: ”Dinner for one” (“90 års fødselsdagen”) on our big screen. 00.00: Bubbles served for all! Together we toast in the New Year! 00.30: Mixed lindy and modern danceable music by DJ – The party is open to all! 02.00: Late night Sauna! (No end time on the party – we party till we drop!)
Snowball live stream: You will be able to enjoy the atmosphere from the Snowball in Stockholm all night long. We will have the Snowball live stream playing all night on our big screen – so really we will be partying with over a 1000 people!

Party from 00.30: Join the party from half past midnight and party all night long with your Lindy friends! It’s free!
Alcohol rules: We know that people might have special wishes for their beverages on such a special night as New Year’s Eve. So for this one night the rule is going to be: Bring your own drinks! You can free of charge bring anything you will want to drink for the evening. There will be some fridge space to keep it cold, but not unlimited. Our selv-service bar will be open, so should you run out you can always buy a drink from us. There will be a Welcome Drink included in the Dinner Ticket, and Midnight Bubbles included in both the Dinner ticket and the “Party from 21.00”-ticket.
The most hyggelig (the cosiest) blues event this side of the north pole. Snuggle close, improve your blues, enjoy 2 days of workshops and 3 days of cosy, warm and fussy parties.
Blues är en häftig dans som vi borde dansa mer! Solo eller i par, open och closed, långsamt och snabbt, men hela tiden till skön, groovy bluesmusik!

Solojazz, eller “Authentic jazz” som den kallas internationellt, är en systerdans till Lindy hop. Den kan dansas som en del i din partnerdans, eller fristående, bara för att det är roligt. För det är just vad denna dans är: en glädjefull dans som har mycket utrymme för egna influenser och individualitet. Denna kurs vänder sig till dig som vill bekanta dig med autentisk jazz, eller till dig som har provat på det men vill gå igenom tekniken bakom de där stegen du gjort på Lindy hop-lektionerna.
Vi kommer att skapa oss ett “vokabulär” av jazzsteg som vi också sätter ihop, för att också öva på att lära oss koreografier (vilket i sig är en färdighet och behöver tränas på).
Så välkommen till alla som vill gräva djupare i Swingdansernas värld, få inspiration till din Lindy hop eller helt enkelt vill dansa en rolig dans!
Switch- and Playtime! Hur är det nu med Leading och Following? Kan man följa som leader och föra som följare? Och har du tänkt att byta roll ibland men vet inte hur? Ingen fara – Max och Jenny vet och visar dig hur! Kursen är på 2 tisdagskvällar, 19:30 – 21 på Underverket i Malmö och kostar 300 SEK. Anmälan under http://www.catscorner.se. Have fun!
Cats’ Corner anordnar den 22/5 och 29/5 Aerials-kurs för nybörjare! (och erfarna) Aerials är den del av Lindy Hop som omfattar mer akrobatiska turer t.ex. hopp, lyft och kast. Aerials passar väldigt bra på uppvisningar eller i jam circles! Kursen kommer att ta upp grundläggande teknik (hållning, timing, landning, uppvärmning etc.) för att arbeta med aerials. Ett par enkla, men effektfulla, aerials ingår men även ett par mer avancerade aerials att arbeta vidare med efter kursen. Under kursen arbetar man tillsammans med samma partner och därför krävs det att man anmäler sig i par. Ta med oömma kläder, långärmad tröja och gymnastikskor. Anmälan på http://www.catscorner.se Välkomna!
Vill du lära dig en av de mest populära Authentic Jazz-koreografierna? Ali kommer att ta dig genom Big apple-koreografin från början till slut, och det blir fartfyllt, knasigt och galet, precis som det skall vara! Sedan hoppas vi du vill bara med och dansa koreografin spontant med oss på onsdagskvällar!
Denna kurs är för alla — det är alltid bra om man är bekant med de vanligaste jazz-stegen, men inga förkunskaper av Authentic Jazz krävs, bara nära till skratt!
Kolla här för att se hur Whitey´s Lindy Hoppers dansade koreografin:

Musikteori för dansare Vi kommer att gå igenom musikteoretiska begrepp som puls, rytm, synkop, takt, swingunderdelning/triolfeeling m.m. Vi kommer att reda ut dessa begrepp, lyssna på musik och sätta ord på det vi hör för att sedan koppla ihop det med vår dans.
Music theory for dancers We will review musical theoretical concepts such as pulse, rhythm, syncopation, bars, swing subdivision etc. We will figure out these concepts, listen to music and try to verbalize what we hear and then utilize our new-found understanding in our dance.
Understanding the music is an essential part of developing as a swing dancer. To explain this in the best way we got Johan who is a Lindy hopper and musician by night and a music teacher by day.
