Ugekursus / Weekly class

*English Below*

Deltag i vores ugentlige kurser, hvor vi bygger ovenpå de basale trin i dansen (passes, pushes, tucks og whips). Du vil opnå en bedre forståelse for dansens opbygning, hvordan man danser til forskellig musik, samt lead/follow kommunikation.

For at deltage på ugekursus skal du have gennemført vores kursus i efteråret 2024 ELLER have gennemført tilsvarende kurser andre steder. Det betyder at du skal kende og være komfortabel med at danse sugar pushes, sugar tucks, whips, left side passes og underarm turns, samt have basal forståelse for stretch, compression og musicality.

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!

🔸Priser:
Der er 10 lektioner på en time hver, og en mini-social efter hver lektion. Der er desuden flere socials undervejs, som er aftener, hvor der er fri dans og ingen undervisning.
Hvis du tilmelder dig alene er prisen 500kr, og hvis du tilmelder dig som par er den samlede pris 900kr (450kr pr person)

🔸Hvordan tilmelder jeg mig?
Tilmelding via Google Forms: (Åbner 30. december)

Du kan tilmelde dig enten:
– Med en partner, så I er en leader og en follower som tilmelder jer sammen
– Alene, og om du vil danse som leader eller follower.

🔸Hvor og hvornår foregår det?
Vi danser torsdag aften på Skovvangskolen. Undervisning er kl 18.15-19.15, herefter er der social dance hvor man kan danse frit.

🔸Hvad skal jeg medbringe?
En vandflaske, tøj du kan bevæge dig i og et par indendørs sko uden en sort sål, helst nogen hvor sålen ikke er alt for skridsikker. Og selvfølgelig alle dine venner 🙂

🔸Hvem kommer du til at møde?
Kurset tilrettelægges og undervises af frivillige instruktører fra West Coast Swing Aarhus: Sune Huus, Rebekka Hindbo Dideriksen, Gustav Wengel, Florian Loitsch og Laura Bak Pedersen.

🔸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.

Participate in our weekly classes where we build on top of the basic patterns of the dance (passes, pushes, tucks and whips). You’ll improve your understanding of the dance, how to dance to different kinds of music and lead/follow communication.

To participate in the weekly classes you must have completed our autumn 2024 lessons OR have previous experience from somewhere else. You must know and be comfortable with sugar pushes, sugar tucks, whips, left side passes and underarm turns, as well as stretch, compression and musicality.

The classes will be taught in Danish, or in English if there are any non-Danish speakers in the class.

Come as you are – with or without a partner. We will change partners during the courses so everyone gets to participate.

🔸Prices:
The course consists of ten lessons that last one hour each, and a mini-social dance after each lesson. There are also longer socials during the season, which are evenings that only consist of dancing and no instruction.
If you register alone, the price is 500DKK, and if you register as a couple the total price is 900DKK (450DKK per person)

🔸How do I register?
Fill out the Google Form: (opens December 30)

You can register either:
– With a partner, so that you’re registering together as one follower and one leader

🔸What is West Coast Swing?
West Coast Swing is an elegant and smooth partner dance with origins in Lindy Hop. The dance emphasizes musicality, play and improvisation. The dance consists of two roles: Leader and Follower, and each role can be danced regardless of gender.
The dance is characterized by elastic smooth movements with a focus on the leading and following between dance partners. West Coast Swing is one of the most popular and fastest growing dances in many parts of the world.
