🕺 VAD ÄR LINDY HOP? Lindy Hop är en afroamerikansk streetdance inom swingjazz. Den växte fram ur många andra danser under sent 1920-tal och tidigt 30-tal i Harlem, New York. Det är en pardans som oftast dansas till swingmusik och det är en av de mest improviserade, roliga och uttrycksfulla pardanserna som finns. 🎥 Lindy Hop på YouTube 🎓 Lär dig dansa – Se våra kurser
NOTE! It’s a nice but much smaller room. Expect it to be very crowded. Like pure bal only crowded…
Anton and Sonja inviters you to a little end of course social in festsalen at Ungdomens Hus. All you need to do to get in for free is click attending on this event. You are welcome regardless if you where part of the course or not.

Varmt välkommen till en kurs i autentisk jazz där fokus ligger på både utveckling och dansglädje! Den här kursen riktar sig till nivå nybörjarmedel och uppåt, och är utformad så att du kan växa utifrån just din nivå och ditt uttryck.
Vi arbetar med:
• Grundsteg och teknik – för stabilitet, förståelse och flow
• Variationer på klassiska jazzsteg – så att du kan bygga ett rikare rörelsespråk
• Improvisation – för att hitta din egen röst i dansen
• Musikalitet och rytmkänsla – kärnan som gör att dansen verkligen lever
Målet är att du ska känna dig både bekväm och inspirerad, och med hjälp av musiken kunna dansa hela fraser och låtar på ett intressant, personligt och varierat sätt.

Blues dance parties and socials
Saturday Night: The Big Blues Bash 20:00 – Until the clocks jump (or a bit later if the floor is jumpin’ too…) Barnens Scen , inside Folkets Park, (near Falsterbogatan 17), Malmö. A huge upgrade featuring a beautiful circular wooden dance floor, a great hangout area for socializing, and it’s much closer to both the workshop venue and Triangeln station! This is our signature event! A high-energy, late-night party with plenty of space to dance, socialise, and put those new moves to the test. If you’ve heard about Malmö’s ”infamous” blues parties, this is the one. .
Sunday Afternoon: The Wind-down Social 16:00 – 20:00 Ukrainian Beer Bar, Amiralsgatan 6, Malmö We’re finishing the weekend with a cozy takeover of a local bar. The dance floor is tiny, but the atmosphere is great! This is a more relaxed, ”exclusive” social for workshop participants.
Both parties are included when signing up for a course level. A limited number of tickets for Saturday party only, registration opens at noon Feb 17th exclusively for active dancers in our community, members of sibling organizations, and personally invited guests. There will not be any tickets available for the Sunday social as that is a very mall venue.
🤫 Possible Friday? We are looking into hosting an unofficial ”Speakeasy” on Friday night in a small gritty, bluesy venue near Folkets Park. This depends on the interest so make sure to mark this in the registration form if you’d like to kick off the weekend early.
What is Blues Dancing?
Blues dancing is not just one single dance; it is a soulful family of vernacular dances with deep roots in African American culture and history. Unlike dances that rely on rigid patterns, Blues is built on connection, improvisation, and a raw conversation with the music.
It is a dance of contrasts: it can be grounded and powerful, or soft and intimate. It ranges from the rhythmic energy of a ”Juke Joint” style to the elegant, flowing movement of ”Blues Ballroom.” At its heart, Blues is about feeling the groove rather than just memorizing steps. It’s expressive, rhythmic, and as you’ll soon find out incredibly addictive.

Välkommen till en heldagskurs i Lindy Hop med The DecaVitas! Vi har undervisat och uppträtt i 25+ länder i snart 20 års tid. Nu har vi flyttat till Malmö och vi vill gärna dela med oss och försöka lära dig allt vi kan om connection och flow i dansen❣️😀🎶
Nivå: medelavancerad och över Pris: 600 kr Anmälan: Swisha Rebecka DecaVita på 0736414355. Ta en skärmdump på swishen 🙂. (Ange även i meddelandet om du för eller följer.) Lokal: Karavan i Malmö
Klassbeskrivningar:
Klass 1: Självkänsla & Flow i Långsammare Tempo
I den här klassen utforskar vi självkänslan i långsammare tempon – hur du kan röra dig med trygghet och närvaro även när musiken ger dig mer tid. Vi tränar på att fylla hela takten med energi, kontakt och uttryck, och hittar moves och variationer som passar bäst för de lugnare låtarna. Ett perfekt tillfälle att landa i kroppen och hitta ditt naturliga flow.
Klass 2: Självkänsla i Snabbare Tempo
Här vänder vi på steken, den här klassen handlar om att dansa snabbt – men med lätthet, precision och självkänsla. Vi fokuserar på hur man för och följer rytmiskt utan att spänna sig, och utforskar vilka steg som fungerar bäst i högre tempon (och vilka vi med fördel kan släppa taget om). Du får verktyg för att hitta både kontroll och lekfullhet i högtempo danser.
Klass 3: Connection & Teknik
Den här klassen går rakt in i hjärtat av Lindy Hop: connection. Vi tränar på stretch, snurrar och tempoväxlingar, och fördjupar förståelsen för hur frame och kontakt förändras beroende på rörelsen. Genom tydliga och användbara tekniker bygger vi en connection som känns både lyhörd och dynamisk – en dans där ni verkligen lyssnar på varandra.
Klass 4: Flow – Magin mellan Stegen
Flow – det där svårdefinierade tillståndet där allt bara stämmer. I den här klassen utforskar vi hur man kan framkalla flow oftare, både fysiskt och mentalt. Vi tittar på övergångarna mellan moves, på hur rörelserna limmas ihop till en helhet – som ett slags magiskt klister som håller dansen levande och naturlig. En klass för dig som vill dansa mindre “steg” och mer musik.

DJ Workshop with Gašper Hrovat Saturday, November 29, 2025, from 2–5 PM at Café Globen
This workshop is for anyone who’s curious about trying DJ’ing, as well as for slightly experienced, more experienced, and very experienced Balboa DJs.
We’ll focus on what it actually means to DJ in our Copenhagen community. You can expect to build your DJ skills and gain a better understanding of how to become an even stronger DJ. For us, DJ’ing is much more than just playing a planned playlist!
We’ll adjust the workshop content based on who joins – so far our program looks like this:
14:00–14:30: Welcome and sharing wishes for the workshop
14:30–16:00: Running a DJ set in practice – genre, artists, tempo
16:00–16:30: Participants play their favourite tracks and we discuss
16:30–17:00: Using mixers and DJ platforms – sound quality, bass,
treble, etc.
Gašper will play Balboa music for us, introduce the genre, share info about important artists, and talk about the energy and mood of the music – both fast and slow Balboa tracks. He’ll give technical tips on how to handle the mixing console and how to improve sound quality, even when working with “old” recordings.
Gašper will inspire us with ideas on how to fill the Balboa dance floor and what to do if dancers leave the floor. He’ll also share what kind of music and tempo works well to start a party, how to shape the middle of your set, and how to end the party or hand over smoothly to another DJ. And you’ll his thoughts on your favourite tracks — and insights into the differences between Balboa and Lindy Hop music.
