Last Dance – Last chance! (for romance?)
Hei alle sammen!
We hope you’ve had a great Easter holiday.
We are going to do the last course before semester break. This course will start next Monday night, 19th of April, from 19:30 @DRIV. The course will run for four weeks – the fifth Monday will be Syttende Mai (May 17) Norway’s National Day.
The dance that we have chosen is a new dance never been taught before – the Lindy Hop. The Lindy Hop is the original Swing. It developed in America from the 1920s and has survived each era with new spin-off Swings (that you might have heard before) – the Jive, the Boogie Woogie, the Blues Swing, East Coast Swing and West Coast Swing – not to mention every other Swing out there.
This dance requires a little commitment so we will be dedicating the two hours of our dance nights to it. The dance also includes the couple Charleston and tricks and jumps (there are acrobatics but I don’t think we will get that far 
). The traditional music to dance to is Swing music – smooth Ella and Duke, even Frank. There are two styles of the Lindy Hop – a ‘black-bottom’ style that is more chunky and a ‘Hollywood’ style that was smooth and danced by the Hollywood stars in classic movies. We will be learning the Hollywood style 
.
Hope you can join us on this last course for the year – tell one tell all!
