Det är även ett bra tillfälle för picknick, grillning, lekar och att slappa i solen. Dansgolvet är dock under tak om det mot förmodan skulle regna

PROVA-PÅ LINDY HOP
Kvällarna inleds med en kort prova på kurs i swingdansen Lindy Hop, a.k.a Jitterbugg, en Afroamerikansk pardans från 30-talets Harlem, vilken stilmässigt har mer gemensamt med dagens street-dance än annan pardans.

CATS’ CORNER
Cats’ Corner is the non-profit dance organisation bringing you this awsome social dance every Wednesday. Our main focus is Lindy Hop, but we gladly also dance Charleston, Balboa, Shag, Blues, Authentic Jazz and other Swing dances.

HEPTOWN
HepTown is the organization behind the swing classes right before the social dance. It’s a separate organization with a separate Club HepCat membership. Unnecessarily complicated some might say. Two parts making an awsome dance scene we say.
