Swing at the beach with Beginners Lindy taster

Cats’ Corner invites you to come swing at the beach. Sunday is our night and we will be dancing 4/7-15/8.

Taster: Beginners Lindy Hop with a fixed partner

After the taster, the floor will be open for social dancing, with a fixed partner or solo jazz.

HOURS

• Open: 18.30 – 21.30
• Cost: Free*
• Taster: ~18.30-19.15
• Swing DJ: 19.15-21:30**

*As part of the “Dans på stranden” collaboration and Malmö Stad, this is a free event but you are very welcome to support us by becoming a Cats’ Corner member, link: http://catscorner.se/49-2/

** For the swing DJ set you are welcome to solo dance or social dance with a fixed partner. No switching partners until most of us are vaccinated.
In the autumn, when we are vaccinated, we will go back to the normal state where everyone just dances with everyone.

Keep distance

If the floor gets to crowded we will rotate the floor every 4th dance. If this happens the DJ will announce this, and you will be given instructions on how to proceed.

IS THIS REALLY A GOOD IDEA!?

It will not be business as usual. We strive to follow and surpass guidelines and recommendations.
Some examples of measurements:
+ More authentic jazz solo dance classes instead of just coupled Lindy Hop.
+ Beginners Lindy Hop without rotating partner.
+ No traditional social dance where everyone dances with everyone
+ A disinfection table will be set up.

MORE THAN DANCING

This is also an excellent time to have a picnic or barbecue while keeping a good distance, play some games or just lounging in the sun.

LOCATION

The dance floor will be located at Ribban in Malmö. Close to “Kallis”.

STAY HYDRATED

Bring your own water bottle that can be refilled outside the toilets.

SWING DANCE TASTER CLASS

The evenings used to always start with a short taster class in Lindy Hop aka jitterbug, an African American couple dance from the ’30s Harlem and we might still do this in the evenings in August but without rotating partners. Most other evenings we will teach Tap or Authentic jazz solo dance classes instead. Authentic Jazz is a big part of the Lindy Hop scene and a really good way to get your body moving and feel the rhythm.

WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER SWING DANCE EVENTS AND CLASSES!?

Cats’ Corner will hopefully restart its weekly classes and weekly social dances in the autumn. More info will be posted to our Facebook page and our homepage www.catscorner.se
