TECHNICAL COURSES
Swing or House, each session will be an opportunity to work on steps and methods to improvise in the evening.
Level 1 = I have at least 1 year of dance, I know some basics but not necessarily in this style
Level 2 = I have at least 2 years of dancing, I master the basics and I am looking to improve my skills and improvise
​
CHOREGRAPHIC COURSE
It's time to put the technique at the service of the writing of a choreography which will be (for those who wish it) presented during the SHOW of the Saturday evening.
The goal is to work as a group, like a Team, so trust us and don't be shy :)
There will be one choreography per discipline!
(Swing/House/Afro/Jazz Rock)
​
TEAM TEACH
A course for all levels with 2 teachers, 2 styles, mixed and transmitted with flexibility. Here you will make the link between centuries of step: so much similarity!!
​
TASTER
The tasters are an opportunity for you to discover disciplines that you know little or nothing about, in the form of an initiation.
Lindy Hop is an African-American couple dance very popular in the United States in the 1930s which combines both playfulness and musicality. Once tested you will be addicted!
Sreching is simply a work of stretching and relaxation after a long weekend of dancing... it's a little gift for the body;)
​
CONFERENCE
With the participation of all the speakers, we offer you an educational and interactive awakening around the styles covered during the course:
What are the links between these dances? Are there similar steps? What type of flow? What musicality?
And as many questions from you will be welcome.
​
1' SHOWCASE contest (Saturday)
You present a 1-minute show to the music and style of your choice.
Solo or in a group you are free to perform.
The criteria of the jury will be the qualities of dance, musicality, creativity, interpretation, presentation...
Limited places.
​
WHO'S GOT THE BEAT? (Saturday)
Jam of dancers in a circle with the musicians.
On the call "Who's got the beat?" the dancer responds
"I got the beat!" and launches into the circle encouraged by the other participants :)
It is also the name of our event in homage to Norma Miller, famous Swing dancer.
