Swing it all out
with Mimmi & Fredrik
When: 31st January to 2nd February 2025
Where: Altrimenti
Registration: open 20th December 2024
Class descriptions
All classes are Lindy Hop couple classes (except Solo Jazz :P) !!
Sign up in 1 fixed role or as a switch dancer if you are comfortable in both roles.
Performance Track [4h30]
This class is all about choreography and performance! Mimmi & Fredrik will teach a new choreography that we aim to share with our community Saturday night!
The choreography is designed for Lindy Hop couples with some Solo Jazz inlays.
You have a solid dancing background in Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz, acquired in at least 3 years with us (or elsewhere). You are very comfortable dancing in a couple, easily integrating some Solo Jazz steps such as Tacky Anny, Suzie Q, Apple Jacks, Boogie back, Boogie forward, Shorty George, Mess around, Fall of the log, etc. You are able to play with some variations of those steps and switching back to couple dancing. You would like to learn new choreographies, gain confidence and have fun performing in front of an audience. Are you ready for show time?
Then the performance track is for you !
Intensive special class [1h30]
This class is intended for our most advanced dancers. Mimmi & Fredrik will challenge you in your dancing from different angles, like style, musicality, technique, variety, and offer you new tools to widen the spectrum of your Lindy Hop skills.
Admission to this class is restricted to experienced dancers in order to give them the opportunity to grow even a little more in a challenging setting. The registration team will take the decision on admission based on the experience of the applicant, as known to them.
Lindy Hop Elementals [2h30]:
This short track offers a unique opportunity to improve your dancing in Lindy Hop!
Join this track if you have some elemental knowledge of lindy hop or joined at least one semester of classes with us (or elsewhere). You have acquired the basic skills, but you still need to gain confidence and you would like to add fluidity and musicality in your dancing.
Let Mimmi & Fredrik inspire you and share with you their tools for making your dancing even more enjoyable !
Solo Jazz Progression [1h30]
In this class, Mimmi & Fredrik will give you tips and tricks to spice up your solo jazz ! Variations, technical tips and improvisation tricks will be on the menu.
Join this class if you have a solid knowledge of solo jazz or joined at least one year of classes with us (or elsewhere).
Crêpe & Pancake classes [1h15 per class]
In the course of the weekend, Mimmi & Fredrik will also offer special topic open level classes for all dancers and students (except absolute beginners). Both classes can be booked separately, but why refrain from having double fun !
These classes are open level classes, for all of you who have at least one semester of dancing experience (lindy hop and/or solo jazz and/or blues). We believe that learning together brings out the best in all of us. Each dancer brings a unique perspective, helping us grow, connect, and find inspiration on the dance floor. Let’s keep learning and evolving together!
Pick one or combine both:
- Swingin’ Crêpe class – Have you ever tried aerials? Our experts on the topic, Mimmi & Fredrik have flown in from Sweden and have you covered ! For this class, you will have to sign up with a fixed partner, as trust is an important building block for aerials.
- Twistin’ Pancake class – Dive into the 20s Charleston with a special twist by our Swedish teachers. This vintage style of Charleston is playful and fun. Maybe you will even be inspired to dress up for the occasion? The cake buffet is waiting for you right after this class, and a cosy social dance rounds up the weekend !
***These classes are not open to absolute beginners. For absolute beginners, please join our taster classes or regular semester classes 🙂 ***
