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.

BALBOA

The Balboa is a swing dance that originated in Southern California during the 1920s (though it may have started as early as 1915) and enjoyed huge popularity during the 1930s and 1940s. The term Balboa originally referred to a dance characterized by its close embrace and full body connection. It emphasizes rhythmic weight shifts and lead-follow partnership. Different dancers in the same region at the same time also danced ”swing,” a dance characterized by twists, turns, and open-position movement. Over time, these two dances merged and became collectively known as Balboa. The original Balboa dance is now referred to as Pure Balboa, and the original ”Swing” dance is now referred to as Bal-Swing or L.A. Swing to differentiate it from other types of swing. Because of its emphasis on subtlety and partnering rather than flashy tricks, Balboa (Pure Balboa in particular) is considered more of a ”dancer’s dance” than a ”spectator’s dance.”

LAST MINUTE UPDATE!

We can happily report that the floor maintenance is finished in the big main ballroom, BUT is unfortunately not finished in ”Spegelsalen”, thus we are forced to cancel the blues part of the evening. Se information below for more blues events.

Welcome to Cats’ Corners swingin’ Wednesday Night Hop at Moriska Paviljongen. The evening includes a beginners’ Blues class at 8 pm which continues with a Blues social dance. At the same time the swingin social dance in Morsikans grand ballroom starts at 7.45 pm!

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.

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…

Venue info

Party & classes are all at:
Underverket, Hasselgatan 8 in Malmö. On the corner of the building there is a sign that says ”Underverket”, pointing down into the underground venue… https://goo.gl/maps/jPdWNAXpx122

Who are behind all this?
The organizers of Lindy hop social dancing are a crew calling ourselves Hbg Swing Mafia. From the start and also now we do not have a formal organisation in Hbg. We do it because we love swing dancing! We love lindy hop and are hoping to make more people discover this thing called swing.

Workshop: Beginner Aerials & Lifts

Lindy Hop is well known for its awesome aerials – jumps and throws into the air. If you want to get a taste of that, then this workshop is for you!

We will teach you some cool looking and easy-to-do aerials: Frog Jump, A-jump, Knee Lift and Swingout Throw. These are the simplest aerials, and also the ones that work best to throw into your dancing spontaneously in e.g. a jam.

You can see examples of some them in this video, where we performed in Kongerigets Klogeste 2014 on DR1:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Q0x3Nu9Ic

You don’t need much dance experience – the workshop is available for anyone who has at least two months of swing dance experience.

You will need a partner though. As they say, it takes two to tango – in this case it takes two to aerials 😉
So please note, that you can only register with a partner.
We will not be changing partners in the workshop.

We hope to see many of you at the workshop!

Workshop: Doin’ the Jive – Solo routine

SwingShoes audition for round 2 – 2018

Tid: Lørdag d. 10. februar kl. 9-14.
Sted: Livasalen, Lyrskovgade 4, 3. sal.

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/1lISaTeM-wj5hk7dJaWDzqDUoM3pUVvrEVt8uyLPOmZo/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 i tidsrummet 9-13).

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, February 10th, 9-14.
Place: Livasalen, Lyrskovgade 4, 3rd floor.

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/1lISaTeM-wj5hk7dJaWDzqDUoM3pUVvrEVt8uyLPOmZo/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.

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
