Ugekursus / Weekly class

*English Below*

Velkommen til ugekursus i west coast swing hver torsdag. Vi kører hold på to niveauer: begyndere og fortsættere/improvers.

🔸Begyndere
For at deltage på ugekursus for begyndere skal du have gennemført vores begynderweekend i september 2025 ELLER have gennemført tilsvarende kurser andre steder. Det betyder at du skal kende til de basale trin i west coast swing (sugar push, tucks, passes og whips).

🔸Improvers
For at deltage på ugekursus for improvers skal du have gennemført en sæsons undervisning hos WCS Aarhus ELLER have gennemført tilsvarende kurser andre steder.

Undervisningen foregår på dansk eller engelsk, hvis der er engelsktalende på holdet.

Kom som du er, med eller uden partner – vi skifter undervejs, så alle kan være med!

Sæsonen består af 10 lektioner på hver 5 kvarter, og en mini-social på 30 minutter imellem de to hold. Der er desuden flere socials undervejs i sæsonen, som er aftener, hvor der er fri dans og ingen undervisning.

Der vil blive taget billeder og optaget film undervejs i sæsonen – hvis du ikke ønsker at billeder med dig bliver lagt online, så kontakt en fra bestyrelsen.

🔸Priser:
Hvis du tilmelder dig alene er prisen for undervisning 500kr, og hvis du tilmelder dig som par er den samlede pris 900kr (450kr pr person)

Kurset tilrettelægges og undervises af frivillige instruktører fra West Coast Swing Aarhus.

🔸Hvad er West Coast Swing?
West Coast Swing er en elegant pardans med rødder i Lindy Hop, som lægger vægt på musikalitet, leg og improvisation. Dansen består af to roller, leader og follower, som man kan vælge at danse uanset ens køn. Dansen kendetegnes ved elastiske, flydende bevægelser med fokus på følgeskab mellem dansepartnere. WCS er en af de mest populære og hurtigst voksende dansestile i mange dele af verden.

Welcome to the weekly West Coast Swing class every Thursday. We offer classes at two levels: beginners and improvers.

🔸Beginners
To participate in the beginners’ course, you must have completed our beginner weekend in September 2025 OR have completed similar courses elsewhere. This means you should be familiar with the basic steps of West Coast Swing (sugar push, tucks, passes, and whips).

🔸Improvers
To participate in the improvers’ course, you must have completed a season of training at WCS Aarhus OR have completed similar courses elsewhere.

The instruction will be in Danish, or English if there are English-speaking participants in the group.

Come as you are, with or without a partner – we rotate partners during the class, so everyone can join in!

The season consists of 10 lessons, each lasting 75 minutes, and a mini-social of 30 minutes between the two groups. There will also be several socials throughout the season, which are evenings with free dancing and no instruction.

Pictures and videos will be taken during the season – if you do not want pictures of you to be posted online, please contact a member of the board.

The course is organized and taught by volunteer instructors from West Coast Swing Aarhus.

🔸What is West Coast Swing?
West Coast Swing is an elegant partner dance with roots in Lindy Hop, emphasizing musicality, playfulness, and improvisation. The dance consists of two roles, leader and follower, which can be chosen regardless of gender. The dance is characterized by elastic, flowing movements with a focus on connection between dance partners. WCS is one of the most popular and fastest-growing dance styles in many parts of the world.
