Levels St. Louis Shag:

Beg/Curious St. Louis Shag:
You want to learn the St. Louis Shag Basics, or have you already taken your first steps?
This level will take both the Beginners and the slightly more experienced St. Louis Shagsters onto a new level. Let yourself be blown away by Rokas and Simona’s positive energy and dive into the world of St. Louis Shag!

Confident St. Louis Shag:
You definitely have experience in this dance and have enjoyed many classes in the past couple of years. Then this level is the place to be. Even if you are quite experienced in St. Louis Shag you will be challenged in this class. Freak out!

Levels Collegiate Shag & Balboa

Curious:
The Curious level is suitable for those who have a solid knowledge of all the basics. Numerous rhythm and footwork variations, variing leading/following techniques and concepts, and moves are now waiting for you. Also, you will gradually get used to different tempos and improve your feeling for music. Let the learning begin!

Confident:
After many years of experience in this swing dance, numerous local or international workshops and festivals, you are always confident on the dancefloor at all tempos and with every dance partner. Here you can work intensively on details and techniques and get in touch with unusual combos. Freak out!

Invitational:
You are totally confident in your dancing, and that’s all there is to say.
You understand the concepts and underlying structure of the dance and see it as a form of communication. You compete in different swing dances, teach them actively in your home scene or internationally – or you would say about yourself, that dancing is the one thing in your life, that takes it ALL.

At this level, you will play with the quality of your movements, enhance your improvisational skills, use different levels of musicality, and bring the finesse of your leading or following to a whole new level. Let`s explore together!

*to ensure a very high level of this class, we ask for a formal application during the registration process (text and video). Thank you for your understanding.

Levels Shag ‘n’ Bal

Curious:

You have a solid understanding of both, Collegiate Shag and Balboa?
You dance both dances on a Social Dance frequently and you would like to mix them in one dance?
Come and join this level, for getting some impressions of switching fluently between those two connected dances and start your Shag ‘n’ Bal-Journey!

Confident:

You dance Collegiate Shag and Balboa for some years, travel to festivals frequently and you are completely in love with switching between them?
You would consider yourself in one or both dances as “Advanced-Level”?

You have competed in one or both already?
Then this is the place to be, your Shag ‘n’ Bal-Heaven!

History Track

The History Track is our new Side Track, we’d love to introduce. It consists of three hours of classes. We want to create a “classroom” format, where you can actively engage with the topic, the speakers and each other. Unlike normal history talks, we will be creating interactive workshop settings for all parts of our track. We strive for you to engage actively with the topic and with each other.

We invited a group of very inspiring speakers for these workshops and will offer various topics for you to choose from. Pick your favorites – or all of them and come join us…!

..to journey in those 3 separate hours through the history of American jazz dance! From Harlem to Hollywood through the 1930’s and 1940’s, Harvest Moon, Hollywood Studios and beyond. We will uncover the legends and cultural influences that have made these dances timeless. Don’t miss out on discovering this rich legacy of American History! 

For covering the costs of the location and class setting we kindly ask your participation of 10 € per h and hope you agree and understand! <3

Class 1 | Historical Moves in Shag and Balboa (Ryan & Minn) ​​​​​​​
