Balboa ELEF and feedback course part 1: 8-22/5

ELEF = Everybody Leads and Everybody Follows.
To master one role in a dance you also need to understand the other and the best way to do that is to experience it for your self. In addition there will be twice as many you can dance with on the social dance floor.

In this course you will learn to both lead and to follow!
Everyone dances with everyone!

FEEDBACK
In this course you will also be asked to give and receive feedback from both teachers and course mates.

COURSE CONTENT
We will focus on making the dance flow and really feel great.

Price only 300kr or less for one part (600kr for both 1 & 2)

LEVEL
We will take things from the beginning and you do not need to know any Balboa to take part in this class but to fully grasp this track you do need to have some partners dance experience no matter what dance.

INSTRUKTÖRERNA HAR ORDET
“Här är möjligheten till ytterligare en ELEF kurs i balboa. Tanken är att fokusera på connection och få förståelse för båda rollerna. Man skall vara beredd på att ge/få feedback, så vi ser helst man gått kurser tidigare i någon dans på medelnivå” Sonja Jönsson initjativtagare och instruktör på kursen tillsammans med Max Christiansson

Lindy Hop Beginners’ Weekend in Lund 27-28/4

Do you like to dance or would you like to know how? Does “gangster swing” and “updated retro coolness” sound interesting? Then HepTown’s beginners Lindy Hop weekend workshop in Lund is the thing for you!

Our introductory course is for those who have no knowledge of Lindy Hop, or took a couple of courses a long time ago and need to brush up the basics again.

You will learn different basic steps, the most common figures and basic leading/following techniques. The aim of the introductory course is to enable you to dance with the rest of us during social dance nights.

The workshop is a two-day introduction to this cool thing called Swing. We promise a workout worth a fitness centre combined with more fun than you’ve had for weeks. But be warned – it’s addictive…

### BLUES
Precis som all annan swingdans föddes bluesdansen ur afrikanska rytmer och rörelser. Bluesdansar gör man till långsam musik med mycket känsla – blues helt enkelt. Känslan är viktigast, stegen är sekundära. Blues är en mer intim dans som hör hemma i rökiga juke joints och på sena efterfester.

### SHAG
The Collegiate Shag (or “Shag”) is a partner dance done primarily to uptempo swing and pre-swing jazz music (185-200+ beats per minute). It belongs to the swing family of American vernacular dances that arose in the 1920s and 30s. It is believed that the dance originated within the African American community of the Carolinas in the 1920s, later spreading across the United States during the 1930s. The shag is still danced today by swing dance enthusiasts worldwide.
