Weekend Scoop, Sunday August 30: Tap for Lindy Hoppers!

⛱️ Sommerkurse diese Woche! ⛱️
Tandem-Variationen 🚲🚲 mit Kris und Philipp
Swing-Out Training 🏋️ mit Ali

Andere Rolle lernen 🤓, und Switch-Tanzen 🔄, mit Laura und Felipe

Tanzen am Neckar - am Sonntag ist's wieder Zeit!

Bring deine noch-nicht-tanzende Freund*innen zum Schnupperkurs, und tanzt dann weiter oder chillt und quatscht und genießt den schönen Blick. Die Food Trucks sind hoffentlich auch wieder da (letztes Mal war der Erdbeer-Eis soooo lecker!)

Our next Weekend Scoop of the season is this Saturday! Join Ali at our air-conditioned studio ❄️, to learn dynamic moves 🔥, and treat yourself to an ice cream or two 😋

Looking for recommendations: what are your favourite swing songs with "double-time" moments?

It could be the whole band doing a tempo-change for part of the song, or it could be a musician adding a little double-time to their solo.

Lindy Hop hive mind: activate! 🤓🤞

(Picture of Count Basie is for post visibility, and because Kris loves his double-time piano playing in the intro to the 1963 Berlin recording of "In a Mellow Tone".)
