Ugekursus - West Coast Swing Aarhus (weekly classes)

*English Below*

Vil du lære West Coast Swing, så er her chancen! 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 begynderworkshop den 14.-15. september 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.

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 otte lektioner på en time hver, og en mini-social efter hver lektion. Der er også to socials, 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?

🔸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.

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 eight lessons that last one hour each, and a mini-social dance after each lesson. There are also two socials, 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: https://forms.gle/iX25hBs2e1frJ2scA

🔸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.
