Class Descriptions

Music for Swing Dancers
In the lesson, we'll analyse and try different music for dancing, define what is DJ'able and why and share plenty of ideas for good music - and avoiding bad music. The main idea is to understand the music enough to find good danceable music from any genre of music - not to play similar music to someone else (like Dax and Alice). In the first lesson, a homework is given, which is discussed and analysed in the second lesson on Sunday.

The lesson is targeted for anyone who is interested in the swing dance music, is a DJ or is willing to become one. The emphasis is on swing music, but most of the phenomena will work for any couple dance music. You should be at least planning to to DJ at some point and to widen your music library. It is recommended, that you will have either an iPod (any model, but not shuffle) or computer with iTunes available for the homework, which includes evaluation of some music. It is possible to participate in the class without one.

You may take only the Friday lesson without Sunday, but not only Sunday.
(no partner needed)

Food for thought
What to do for the rest of the year, when Dax and Alice are abroad? How to plan your training, what will be the challenges and next stages? Come and hear the last tips from Dax and Alice, discuss the current issues in your own dnacing and possibly even find others to train with for the coming summer and autumn!
(no partner needed)

Have a look and improve
In the lesson, each participant will dance for a while, will get feedback from Dax and Alice and have the change to try it again. You will learn a lot from getting the personal fedback AND from hearing the others getting feedback. The lesson is open for anybody with more or less dance experience. The amount of participants for the lesson is limited.
(no partner needed - in the lesson, you may have a couple, you wish to get feedback with - if you enroll alone, you get the feedback with one of the other cool participants)

Lindy hop social fun
The last drops of social fun of the spring. This lesson will give you successes, nice moves and lots and lots of dancing!
(no partner needed)

Teacher Training
Are you a rock'n'swing dance teacher, or aiming at becoming one? Then these lesssons are a must for you.

We hope you have taken at least a couple of Dax's and/or Alices classes or workshops already, so that you are familiar with their main concepts and vocabulary. The lesson will partly build on the April 4th-6th teacher training ideas - however, you may come without that previous knowledge. To participate in the lesson: first and foremost, you must be keen to learn to become a (better) dance teacher or coach! Please send questions for the teacher training session beforehand to info(miukumerkki)swingteam.fi.
(no partner needed)

Charleston
Move and sweat for the last time in the Spring with Dax's and Alice's charleston lesson! Something old, something new and for sure plenty of charleston based movement from 20's charleston to later days. The lesson is mostly done solo, some partnered figures may also be tried.
(no partner needed)

Freakin' Fast Lindy
Like the name says, Lindy Hop...freaking fast. Sweat, scream and enter the lindy zone and release the dragon!
(no partner needed - or you may come with your own couple if you wish)
