General information
Are you planning on taking a class? This is good to know
International and local teachers, solo classes and couple dancing, weekend tracks and full week tracks, daytime classes and evening classes, our diverse range of tracks is designed to make everyone feel at home. So, which one will you choose? Every person is welcome! We have classes for the people with two left feet, for the ambitious ones, for the young, the young-at-heart, and those who are still figuring out which category they fall into.
- A full-time one-week program offers 15 regular classes plus an additional class about music and culture, spread out from Sunday morning until Friday afternoon.
- On average, all these programs come with three classes per day.
- Please observe that all classes are held in English with limited possibilities of any form of translation.
- No regular dance partner is needed since all classes, with a few exceptions, are based on partner rotation.
- Before registering for a course, please try to assess your level based on your previous experience.
- Additional details on levels are available under each class description.
Auditions & Class splits
Auditions: Participants at the "IntermediateAdvanced and Advanced" level of Lindy Hop are required to participate in our audition on Saturdays. The auditions help ensure that participants in higher-level classes have the necessary skills, technique, and foundational understanding to fully engage with advanced material. By creating groups of dancers with similar abilities, we can foster a more focused and effective learning environment, benefiting both dancers and instructors alike.
Important note: If you’re unable to attend the audition, access to the advanced level won’t be possible.
Place and time for auditions: Saturday, 19:00 at Alhambra Tent (School area).
Class split: If too many participants sign up in one of our levels, they will be divided into several groups. The division will be done randomly, hence, this will not be an audition and there will be no level difference between the groups. Of course, we will try to keep groups of friends in the same class as much as possible. Do not fret, we will inform you well in advance, in case we need you to be present at a class split.
Frequently Asked Questions
You are supposed to only follow the schedule of the program you signed up for. Be aware that we frequently perform passport controls during classes.
We don’t make reservations for single classes beforehand. The priority goes to the people registering for the whole week as Herrang Dance Camp is based on the weekly basis programme. Whenever there are spots left , we can sell them to those who are joining just for a couple of days. So please come to our Reception on your arrival and ask about the options available.
These kinds of changes are not very usual and they are exceptions to the rule almost every time. Please also note that Sunday evenings are the only time when it will be possible to change programmes. All programmes will be level checked on Sundays, and accordingly all level changes will be possible only with the approval of our Reception staff and teachers.
This is something the camp administration is not involved in. Instead, if you are interested in taking a private lesson, please speak directly to the teacher in question. It’s up to him or her to say yes or no, and it’s up to the both of you to agree on compensation. If you need access to a dance floor, please feel free to make use of any hours that are not booked for anything else. At the same time, please note that it is never possible to look upon such a free dance floor as a private area – other interested dancers must also be given access.
No, some of them might come with an imbalance, although we try our best to even all the classes out. But even then we can’t control if everybody is actually showing up to their classes everyday. So please do not expect things to be completely 50-50 – the nature of the camp itself seems to avoid the mathematical harmony of absolute balance.
Yes, please do and please look upon it as a valuable document. The card is your entrance ticket to classes, parties as well as many other activities.
Disciplines
Different types of dances explained
The Lindy Hop is mainly a partner dance, centred around self-expression, syncopation, and improvisation. Listening to your partner is key! It can be danced to all kinds of tempos and it even takes to the air occasionally. Amidst the economic struggles brought about by the Great Depression and systemic racism, this dance originated as a cheerful response to the 1920s scene and was predominantly embraced by Black dancers. Many of them lived in Harlem, where hip dance spots like the Savoy and the Alhambra ballrooms were the place to be – that is where our tents get their names. The dance came together from different social dances that happened before it, like the Cakewalk, the Breakaway, and partnered Charleston. The Hellzapoppin' clip is as inspiring as it gets for Lindy Hop!
It is difficult to pinpoint the exact time this dance saw light for the first time, but we can estimate it happened around the time when jazz arrived to the shores of the seaside town of Balboa in Southern California. The ballroom restrictions on open dancing in the 1930s which limited the Charleston and other exuberant dances probably led to the chest-to-chest partner dance we nowadays call Pure Balboa. Simultaneously, some daring dances introduced turns, kicks and even air steps – we now know this style as Bal-Swing. The passing of the years has given us what we today call Balboa. You’ll be able to enjoy some good dancing on the “Start Cheering” and Venice Beach clips.
Solo Jazz is an umbrella term that gathers many dances from the pre-Cakewalk dances to the post-war era styles, as well as be-bop and rhythm & blues. In modern terminology it often refers to dancing without a partner, and it comes without any influences of ballet or any other modern contemporary techniques. It is a very characteristic dance due to its syncopated steps and rhythms, and call and response to the music, all the while incorporating the vocabulary and steps of the vernacular jazz tradition. Solo jazz can be danced freely and improvised or in routines such as Shim Sham Shimmy, Big Apple, Trickeration, or Tranky Doo. Definitely look these names up and get some inspiration: Bessie Dudley, Florence Hill, Leon James, Mabel Lee, Norma Miller, Al Minns.
The combination of West African rhythms and British Isles soft-shoe and hard-shoe step dances gave shape and form to what we now know as tap dance. There are two considerable variations: Rhythm tap which focuses on musicality and is considered part of the jazz tradition, and Broadway tap, which centres around the dance and is widely performed in musical theatre. Worth mentioning some tap legends such as John Bubbles, the Nicholas Brothers, Bill Bojangles Robinson and Jeni LeGon.
Swing kids & Swing Teens: Superheroes of swing!
Anmäl dig här!
I årets upplaga av Herräng Swing Kids Swing Teens är det dags att rikta ljuset mot superhjältar!
Det kan vara allt från historiska superhjältar till tecknade superhjältar och även superhjältar som vi haft turen att få leva och dansa med, sida vid sida.
Och vad är egentligen en superhjälte? Det kan vara en släkting, din modiga klasskompis, en medmänniska som kämpar i en annan del av världen eller du själv, när du gör sådant som du egentligen är rädd för.
Vi kommer låta er inspireras av några av swing-epokens hjältar, som Bill Robinson och Lena Horne. De använde sitt artisteri för att slåss mot segregation och diskriminering av svarta.
I närtid har vi också haft många hjältar. Till exempel Dawn Hampton, som fick oss förstå superkraften inom musiken. Frankie Manning som uppfann mycket av den akrobatik som får oss alla att flyga, som superhjältar, genom luften. Dessutom betedde han sig som en superhjälte mot sin danspartner: respektfullt och vänligt.
Såklart ska vi även ha med andra typer av superhjältar som Spindelmannen, Wonder Woman och Black Panther.
Vi tar in alla dessa hjältar på ett lekfullt sätt i vårt läger och hoppas att det inspirerar oss alla till ett extra vänligt och heroiskt dansläger!
Det blir som vanligt, i sann Swing Kids Swing Teens-anda, en massa Lindy hop och roliga aktiviteter.
Så packa med en mantel och en superhjältes fina inställning och dansa med oss i sommar!
Danslägret är för alla som är 8 år (födda 2016) till 17 år (födda 2007), från nybörjare till de som vill tävlingsdansa.
Denna grupp kan delas in i två grupper i form av Kids och Cats beroende på antal anmälda. Det är sju lektioner Lindy hop: fyra lektioner med fokus på socialdans och tre lektioner koreografi. Alla elever har temaklasser, eget val och aktiviteter.
