SWING KIDS SWING TEENS 2023
Celebrate Swing Kids Swing Teens 20 years!
8 July - 14 July 2023
In 2023, Swing Kids Swing Teens celebrates 20 years of swing dancing in Herräng! Hanna Lundmark started the dance camp for children and teens and after a couple of years Mattias Lundmark joined.
Together with all the students, parents and dance teachers, we have so many great dance memories.
Now, we're going to look back and recreate our favorite dances and themes!
We will do a fun and fast Star Wars Charleston from 2011, where the theme was "Dance Like the Movie Stars". From 2013, we will revisit a swinging Bollywood dance from the theme "Around the World".
As usual, in true Swing Kids Swing Teens spirit, there will always be lots of Lindy Hop and fun activities.
The dance camp is for everyone who is 8 to 17 years old, from beginners to those who want to start competitive dancing.
This summer (8 July - 14 July), we will offer the following groups (international means that we speak both Swedish and English in the lessons):
-
International Classic Swing Kids (8 - 12 years)
-
International Classic Swing Teens (13 - 17 years)
-
International Swing Teens Lindy Hop Invitational
Classic Swing Kids Swing Teens
Swing Teens Lindy Hop Invitational
The Invitational group has no mandatory activities and has a schedule that runs between 10am to 6pm, with several free periods during the day. You must apply to join this group since it is primarily for those who are 13-17 years old who have been dancing Lindy Hop regularly for more than 3 years. If you take this course, it is possible to order our camp's lunch-package (see below). The Swing Teens Lindy Hop Invitational are part of the Thursday evening performance and on Friday's Tea Dance. Other activities (such as crafts, excursions, Friday at the beach and evening activities) are optional.
If you are 18-20 years old and would like to join, please email info@kalabalindy.com.Theme classes
