Schedule

If you book the add on classes, you can join three classes: 

• one on Friday at 16:00
• and two on Saturday (first slot starting at 13:00 and the second starting at 15:00)

For every time slot, there will be two themed all level classes for you to choose from.

Friday 16:00-17:30

Discover your cool (Lotte)

This class focuses on improvisation and attitude within the aesthetics of blues dancing. You’ll start by truly connecting with yourself and the music and discover what moves you in the music and how it moves you. After this we will explore how you can make the movement grow and how to share and express this in connection with others.

From self connection to partner connection (Kat & Cat)

Explore with us the wide spectrum of connection: being with yourself as an individual and dancer, co-creating with a partner in an open connection and sharing trust in a more closed lead and follow connection. In this class we will challenge the narratives assigned to dance roles and invite you to stretch their boundaries.

Saturday 13:00-14:30

Find the groove (Lotte)

Blues music ranges from fast to slow, heavy to light, from draggy to staccato and everything in between. In this class we’ll work on finding the groove in different styles of blues music. We’ll work on common rhythms in blues music, learn how to embody them and move as if we are part of the band. 

From individuality to community (Kat & Cat)

How does a group of individuals become a community? How do we create an environment of sharing? What do you bring to the dance floor and what are others sharing with you in a dance partnership and beyond? In this class we want to build awareness how each and everyone of us shapes the community and playfully explore how to create a more social dance environment.

Saturday 15:00-16:30

Shape your dance (Lotte)

Dancing is essentially about expressing your emotions and your understanding of the music through movement. In this class we’ll explore our range of movement within the aesthetics of blues dancing such as groundedness and dynamism. Sign up for this class if you’re willing to colour outside the lines. 😉

From Mali to Mississippi to Vienna (Kat & Cat)

“Mali to Mississippi” is a song by Electric Blues musician Mighty Mo Rodgers that  references the influences of traditional African music on the Blues. Together we want to go on a journey following the origins of the Blues, making its way through the U.S.A. and traveling the world. In this class we listen to different styles of Blues and explore how the change in the music changes our movement.
