Music<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At our parties, you can expect great swing music – both live and from our amazing DJs – to keep you on your feet all night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are pleased to have a live band for the Friday and Saturday evening parties: JaZZmaZZ\u00f8rene!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

JaZZmaZZ\u00f8rene specialize in playing swing jazz from the early 30s, standing on the shoulders of jazz legends like Louis Armstrong, Teddy Wilson, Coleman Hawkins, and more. Having started in 1995, the band just celebrated its 30-year anniversary last year. JaZZmaZZ\u00f8rene aim to reach beyond the edge of the stage and connect with everyone in the audience. The music they play was the dance music of its time, and they especially want to welcome everyone who dances Lindy Hop, Balboa, and other swing dances from the era to their concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taster classes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the Friday and Saturday evening parties, you can enjoy taster classes with fantastic instructors. These will be open level, so that you can join regardless of prior experience or preferred dance style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> You need to have a Full Pass to join the taster classes and the subsequent parites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday: Playing with Rhythm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover playful ways to express rhythm within the classic 8-count pattern! We\u2019ll explore creative variations in both open and closed position and how you can apply them to your dancing, whether you dance Balboa or Lindy Hop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
