Artists
🌟CLAUDIA : Her first steps towards dancer career were made while studying by great masters side of different styles, such as rhythmic gymnastics, jazz dance, contemporary, classical, tap, hip hop, floor and aerial acrobatics. Final result? Great body awareness and dance teacher career, as Claudia has started ‘Cultura swing’ dance school in Buenos Aires, together with her brothers.
🌟MAXI : As a classic dancer son, he was basically bound to dance. What’s more, he was trained in swing style by such star dancers as Frankie Manning, Norma Miller and Down Hampton, an unfulfilled dream of so many lindy hoppers. As a real passionate he will enthuse us with his love to lindy hop, balboa and shag.
During classes, he puts great emphasis on rhythm and groove, and on the dance floors on fun and comfort. In his opinion, the best dances are those in which we can make our partner laugh!
Live Band
The Hop 'sh Bam Connection
The Hop 'sh Bam Connection plays the real swing from the period between the 20 ties and 50 ties.
The biggest inspiration is the repertoire of the marvellous ballrooms of the thirties, as for example the savoy ballroom in New York.
Hop – sh- bam plays tunes on which lindy hop dancers could go crazy.
They play the beautiful standards of the swing –era, and also some tunes of the exciting bigband period, or even some tunes of the new Orleans repertoire, more Charleston inspired. As the bandleader, Marie – Anne, is a swingdancer herself, she knows how to put an inspiring and diverse setlist together ! She adapts to what s happening on the dancefloor …
Let’s call it : an excellent band, full of energy, whit a big focus on the pure art of swingmusic. Nice to listen, nice to dance, … move and groove !
Workshops
LINDY HOP TRACK
Get ready for Lindy Hop workshops on 4 levels (Swing Kids - Beginners, Alhambra, Roseland, Savoy).
Classes will take place on Saturday and Sunday (August 24 and 25).
Please, choose your level wisely, because there will be no audition.
Swing Kids (beginners)
Workshops from scratch for everyone who wants to take their first steps on the dance floor.
Alhambra (int)
You’ve taken your first Lindy steps. Slowly but surely you get to know the music a little better, you know the basic moves such as the tuck turn, promenade or lindy circle, and are not afraid of the new and unknown. There’s also a high chance that you’ve attended some festivals before the pandemic, but in these swing middle ages you’ve managed to forget some things.
Roseland (int/adv)
You’ve danced your share and feel quite nice with Lindy Hop. The swingout technique is starting to keep you awake at night, the variations of what you already know are sometimes more interesting, than new moves. You’ve been to numerous parties, festivals and workshops—still not enough for you. You want to grow and get better.
Savoy (adv)
You got your boots on. You’re the veterans of your scene, could be you maybe teach there or used to teach. Someone can tell you that your swingouts are great, but you’ll point out ten things you could improve on. You’ve got a few tricks that folks will react to only after a few seconds have passed and they’ve realized what just happened. The musical standards you could dance to almost by heart, since you’ve heard them hundreds of times at dozens of Lindy events.
SOLO EXTRA TRACK (Friday and Saturday evening)
We invite you to learn special holiday SOLO choreography with Michał Miedźwiecki! If you want to dance non-stop, this year is the perfect opportunity to do so, because you can extend your pass (both Full Pass and Party Pass) with an additional 4 hours of intensive classes, during which you will learn the routine, which you will then dance with other participants during the Saturday night party.
Solo Extra Track is not only about learning choreography together, but also about performing together to live music! ❤️
Classes are scheduled for Friday and Saturday evenings (2 hours each day), and the performance will take place during the Saturday party❤️
Although the level of workshops is open, we recommend it for participants with experience in solo techniques (from intermediate upwards).
