[sta_anchor id=”info”]Info[/sta_anchor]

If you are interested in discovering the roots of Jazz/Swing Dance and Music – this is the place to be! In Dicember Peter & Katja will be back to share more of their knowledge about the early roots of partnered Jazz dancing.

All of this will happen in beautiful Merano during the super popular and well-liked Christmas Markets. By the way – this is one of the best moments to visit Merano, a tiny little town in Northern Italy, surrounded by snowy mountains! In addition to this very special event, you are welcome to enjoy the pre-christmas feeling, have some good food and wine or just relax at the beautiful thermal baths right next to our venue.

Come join us for an unforgettable weekend!

Are you ready for a travel through time?! Peter Loggins & Katja Završnik (SWE/SLO) will take us on a journey back in time to discover the roots of Swing Dancing! Starting from the very beginning with the Roots of Two Step – Two Step to 3/4 (Waltz) music to evolve to the Jazz Two Step, The Peabody and the Original Charleston.

The following topics will be part of the Dance- Workshop Program:

Saturday:

ROOTS OF TWO STEP – DANCING IN WALTZ TIME

Did you know that the roots of two step is Waltz?! That is….two step to 3/4 music! Be ready to learn more about this from Peter & Katja! And…be ready to finally learn some Waltz for Swing Dancers.

JAZZ YEARS TWO STEP

After discovering the early roots of Two Step which in the beginning had more of a Waltz feeling in this class we will evolve with the music and get more jassy.

THE ORIGINAL DIXIELAND ONE STEP

Blues, the earliest Dixieland and The Peabody (on Sunday) – dance through history with the One Step and apply it to your dancing today.

Sunday:

THE PEABODY

Did you know that Savoy Dancers, when a fast song was played,  did first Peabody by going around the ballroom, and when the song was going to end, they started to lindy hop?! In our opinion we should bring some of this back to the contemporary Swing /Lindy Hop scene – Don’t you?! Let’s do this!

THE ORIGINAL CHARLESTON

Let’s do some original partnered Charleston learning from the best!

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER TO CREATE YOURSELF

In the last class of the weekend we will put everything together and see how to use it in our daily Hoppers life!

LEVEL: This Workshop is suitable for all levels, besides total beginners,  as the material will be new for everyone. The only requirement is that you have done some Swing Dancing before (Lindy, Balboa or Shag) and that you have the skills to enjoy the social dancefloor with your partner.
