Registrations here: https://goo.gl/jiSnia
 
This will be a weekend full of opportunities to learn, practice and enjoy. To Dance. To finish 2017 Little Big Apple classes with a Shabam and get together for a Christmas celebration.

Since we would like to expand your worldview about Swing dance, we invited Áňa and Štěpán from Prague to share with you their experience of, not only Lindy hop, but other dances that are part of the Swing Era.

Aňa & Štěpán are Prague-based dancers whom you have surely met on one of the dance floors around Europe. Lindy, Balboa, Shag, Solo, they do it all, and yeah, it sure is the way that they do it. Aňa always has a huge smile on her face while dancing and Štěpán is scatting, tapping or imitating instruments almost as much as he’s talking, but don’t let that fool you - they can be very clear when they need to get the message across to their students. They both have years of experience in getting people bouncing and although they usually don’t teach together, they always get together to create something special.

– FRIDAY . ALL THAT JAZZ! –

Open Level. 20h30 – 22h30 Olaias Clube. 20€
Well into 20’s and later, there was no such label as jazz- or swing-band, there was only dance-bands, giving you also freedom what dance you would do.
