Once again SwingShoes is proud to present an International Workshop. This time with our friends Brad and Juliana from the US. Brad and Juliana taught a series of successful lindy and aerial classes in Copenhagen last year and are now back. They have been dancing, teaching and competing for several years.

There will be two short workshops taking place on Saturday the 7th of September:

• One Lindy workshop from 10:00 – 12:00 (requirement: One year lindy dancing)
• One Aerial workshop from 13:00 – 15:00 (requirement: You need a partner)

Lindy workshop, one year of lindy dancing
We will provide a new set of moves and ensure you can execute them comfortably at different speeds. Additionally we will take those moves and help you weave in your own style. Leads will get variations for their basics and follows will learn how to bring their thoughts to the conversation.

It has been said that “dance is the only art in which we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made”. Learn to be your art, not just a reflection of someone else’s. To attend you must be comfortable with all fundamental moves, i.e. Swing-out, Texas-tommy, circle ect.

Aerial workshop, with partner only
This aerial workshop will teach you how to flip, flop, and fly. There will be focus on theory, weight exchange exercises, and FUN! In addition to aerials there will be some tricks which don’t get you high in the air but regardless they are weight bearing.

Be aware of your body’s ability and limitations, choose the level of intensity you would like to do. You do not need any previous aerial experience. Only limited spots available!

200,00 DKK for one workshop.
300,00 DKK for both workshops (save 25%)

Mariel Gastiarena is a Lindy Hop and Tap dancer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. She discovered the Lindy Hop nine years ago and since then she has dedicated herself passionately to dance, moving into different styles. She has taken classes in Jazz, Classical and Contemporary dance for several years as well as African dance and Tango. She has also studied music and nowadays she continues her musical training playing clarinet and singing. This eclectic background has improved her vintage dances like Blues, Charleston and Lindy Hop making her style special. When she started dancing Tap, she realized that it was in this dance where she could best express the conjunction between the rhythmic elements of music and the movement. Therefore, she devoted herself to emphasize her learning about traditional tap and teach it through a conceptual studying of the rhythm.

Manuel Bicain is a Lindy Hop dancer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He discovered the Lindy Hop nine years ago and since then he has dedicated himself passionately to dance, moving into the energy and love of this dance. He has taken classes in Martial Arts, Theater, Acting, Contact Improvisation Dance and Circus Arts for several years. He has also studied tap and body percusion. Nowadays he continues his studies in these new passions. This wide background has improved his art vision and connection in dances like Charleston and Lindy Hop making his style deep and special.
When he started in this world of jazz dance and freedom, he founded a good way to express it to everyone. At the same time he discovered a way of constant research and happiness in artistic life. He focused his dance in the communication, at the same magic time, with the music, with his partner, and himself.
