✨ What a Weekend!
🎶💃🕺✨
📽️🎞️💖
We’ve just wrapped up an incredible Swing Weekend in Cottontails and are still buzzing with excitement!
Our teachers led intensive Lindy Hop basics and Vernacular Jazz classes, and it was truly rewarding to teach such dedicated and motivated students. Seeing people stay after class to practice and hearing their enthusiastic feedback made our hearts swell with pride ✨ — what an amazing group!
🥳 Solo Jazz triumph!
Our Solo Jazz group took on a huge amount of material and even completed a routine that exceeded the ‘Open Level’ standard! We’re beyond proud of both our instructor, who brought fresh ideas from a Winter Camp in Luleå 🇸🇪 and our hardworking students, who absorbed every step with passion. These dancers are now performance-ready, and we hope to see them representing our club at public events this spring!
🎬 Swing & History on the Big Screen
We closed the weekend with a movie night, watching The Six Triple Eight Battalion — a powerful historical drama about African American women in WWII ensuring soldiers could stay in touch with their loved ones. This was a perfect choice for Black History Month, offering both an important story and a special treat: a glimpse of authentic Lindy Hop on screen!
🍒And here’s the cherry on top… we spotted Joseph from UK — a guest instructor from Spring 2024 — dancing in the movie! What a thrill to recognize someone we’ve met, danced with and learned from in Bergen!
🔥Even more exciting: Joseph and his dance partner Charlotte are returning this spring for another weekend workshop — stay tuned for details!
✨ What’s Next? Join the Fun! ✨
The good times don’t stop here! Our new Lindy Hop - Beginners' express start and Solo Jazz Spring 2025 - course start start this Thursday, February 6th at Danckert Krohns.
If you love active, socialand joyful leisure, now’s the perfect time to jump in and learn authentic Swing dance & Vernacular Jazz!
Spread the word, invite your friends and let’s keep dancing together!
