Blues Dance

Like Swing dance, Blues dance originated and evolved from African rhythms and movements. However, Blues dancing was historically never widely practiced as a “social” or performance dance in the United States outside of the Black communities; so it developed and thrived in smoky juke joints and at Blues house parties and rent parties, giving it a more intimate feel…

SwingShoes audition for round 3 2018

Tid: Lørdag d. 7. april kl. 10-16.
Sted: Livasalen, Lyrskovgade 4, 3. sal (ved siden af Haraldsalen).

Jeg vil gerne med, hvad gør jeg?
Du klikker dig ind på dette Google Doc og melder dig på en tid:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MGdokhZf4H4IbFMAAN9Y9rb78oNKnx6ECtx4OL0YKmg/edit?usp=sharing

Husk at kontrollere din tid et par dage inden audition. Mød op til tiden! Hvis du er rigtig smart, kommer du lidt før og varmer op inde i Haraldsalen, oppe på tredje sal (NB! Det er kun muligt efter 12).

Skal jeg til audition?
Der er fire grunde til at gå til audition:
– Du går på (Amb.) Intermediate eller (Amb.) Intermediate Advanced og vil gerne rykke op.
– Du har aldrig danset i SwingShoes før og vil gerne placeres på et af vores hold.
– Du har holdt pause fra SwingShoes undervisning i mere end to runder (4 måneder).
– Du føler dig langt over niveau på dit hold og vil gerne springe et hold over. Du har selvfølgelig snakket med din underviser inden, og denne er enig.

Følgende er ikke grund til at komme til audition:
– Du vil gerne have personlig feedback uden at betale for det.

Hvordan foregår det?
Det er meget stille og roligt. Der er fire undervisere – to followere og to leads. Du danser to danse med to forskellige undervisere, mens de to andre kigger på. Efterfølgende vurderer underviserne dig, du får en kort feedback og en vurdering af hvilket hold, du passer bedst på.

Hvad nu hvis jeg ikke kan den dag?
Så må du komme til vores næste audition. Desværre.

Spørgsmål?
Spørg løs her på eventet.

Venlig hilsen,
SwingShoes

ENGLISH:
It’s time for audition again!

Time: Saturday, April 7th, 10-16.
Place: Livasalen, Lyrskovgade 4, 3rd floor (next to Haraldsalen).

I would like to join, what do I do?
Click on the link for the Google Sheet and write your name on one of the time slots:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MGdokhZf4H4IbFMAAN9Y9rb78oNKnx6ECtx4OL0YKmg/edit?usp=sharing

Remember to check the sheet and your time a few days before the audition. Make sure to be there on time! If you’re really smart, you’ll be there a bit before to get to warm up in Haraldsalen on third floor (only after 12).

Should I go to audition?
There are four reasons to join the audition:
– You are currently on (Amb.) Intermediate or (Amb.) Intermediate Advanced and would like to join classes on a higher level.
– You have danced, but never taken classes in SwingShoes before and would like to be placed on one of our levels.
– You have taken a break from classes in SwingShoes for more than two rounds (4 months).
– You feel, that you are far superior compared to your classmates, and so you would like the opportunity to skip a level. Of course, you have already discussed this matter with your teacher who agrees.

Please note that this is NOT a reason to come to the audition:
– You would like to get some personal feedback on your dance, without having to pay for it.

How does it work?
It’s very laid back. There’ll be four teachers – two follows and two leads. You’ll dance two dances with two different teaches, while the other two looks. Afterwards, the teachers will evaluate your dancing and give you their judgement of, what level you are fit for.

What if I can’t make it that day?
Then you have to wait until our next audition, unfortunately.

Questions?
Ask away!

Best regards
SwingShoes

BOOGIE WOOGIE

Boogie woogie är den dans som mest ska efterlikna det man dansade till rockmusik på 1950-talet. Boogie woogie kan dansas till den pianobaserade musik som heter boogie woogie, men oftare använder man sig av modern eller gammal rockmusik. I Sverige är dansen mest en tävlingsform, men nere på kontinenten är den en relativt väl spridd som sällskapsdans.

JAM CIRCLE

The term originated during the swing era of dancing, probably borrowed or appeared in parallel with the expression “jam session” in music. In Lindy hop, it is common for jam circles to take place on or around special occasions such as birthdays or weddings. In these cases, the person(s) being celebrated will usually stay in the circle for the duration of the jam and, rather than dance one song with one partner, will dance one song but swap partners many times throughout.

Dansa på Stockamöllan Swing Fest 25-26 maj 2018

Stockamöllan är en otroligt vacker by mitt i Skåne. Sedan Gunhild Carling flyttade dit är där årligen en swing och jazz festival. Då tränger artister, dansare och publik (från hela världen) ihop sig i ett gigantiskt cirkustält och åtnjuter tre dagars festivalstämning..

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

# Anmälan / biljetter
Det blir två föreställningar för sittande publik och en för dansandes. Alla föreställningarna är i Kulturfabriken. (Inget cirkustält)

Fredag: sittande, 19.00 – 23.00(ca)
Lördag: sittande, 15.00 – 19.00(ca)
Lördag, endast för dansare: 20.00 – 23.45
https://www.nortic.se/tickets/event/16869

Varför så mycket billigare för dansarna?
Priset för dansbiljetter är helt klart mycket billigare än det borde vara men baseras på årtionden av samarbeten och att det alltid varit viktig för Gunhild att det dansas till musiken

Dansbiljetter!!!!
Efter många turer blir det en extraföreställning på 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 åtminstone 23 men förmodligen senare…

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

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

Får man stanna på den sena om man redan köpt biljett till den tidiga?
Nej den sena showen ingår inte i den tidiga. MEN är du swingdansare får du dispens mot uppvisande av swingout 😉

Volontär = fribiljett

För att snabbt ställa om mellan sittandes och dansandes föreställning behöver vi fler volontärer kl 19-20. Anmäl intresse till Håkan på classes@heptown.com eller 070-567 52 92
