Come celebrate the end of the spring term with us!
Two days of mixed level lindy hop and collegiate shag classes (all levels welcome, from this year's beginners to dance veterans), where the focus is on dancing and having fun. Please note that we will be rotating partners in class.
There will also be a Friday night social dance with live music (Mainland Jazz Collective from Sweden).
If you are new to collegiate shag, here's a quick intro!
Collegiate shag is an energetic swing dance well suited to fast music. Here you can watch a clip what modern collegiate shag looks like, and here's a short clip with our lovely teachers. If you want to practice your basic steps before coming to class you can look at this introduction video.
