Jazz + Lindy Basics: This course is 90 minutes long and consists of elements of Solo Jazz and Lindy Hop (in pairs), whereby we always combine the two.
Switch: Ihr könnt im Kurs flexibel wählen, ob ihr als Follow oder Lead üben wollt. Ihr könnt aber auch bei einer Rolle bleiben.
The course is aimed at all those who have no previous experience, but also provides new impulses for all those who have already taken a solo jazz or Lindy beginner course.
Solo Jazz (also: Authentic Jazz or Vernacular Jazz) has its origins in Black cultures (especially Afro-American communities) and is often danced in combination with couple dances such as Lindy Hop, but also on its own. In this class we will use the music to guide us through rhythms and movements to express swing and jazz music but also our own ideas, emotions and idiosyncrasies.
Lindy Hop: In this course you dance both solo and in pairs. Both are part of Lindy Hop. Like jazz and swing music, the dance also thrives on improvisation, exchange and togetherness. We learn simple elements from swing and solo jazz in order to be able to dance together in a versatile and musical way.
Everyone can lead and follow and change roles (switch) or dance just one role. We use gender-neutral language and aim to create a queer-friendly, open atmosphere with a focus on consent and equality in the dance partnership.
