THEMATIC levels:

Thematic Levels are pop-up weekly classes and not a fixed or regular part of our semester classes. They cover a specific theme, typically another dance style, or a famous jazz routine from the Lindy Hop paraphernalia. Be quick to sign up, because they might not be offered again next semester.

The classes usually spans 3-8 weeks, and the theme changes in accordance with the available teachers, their speciality or what they are excited about at the moment.

autumn 2025 will offer the following:

Blues (for more experienced)

with Ann, ida, David, Chloe — 4 classes

Blues is a partnered dance done to blues music. The tempo is slower than Lindy hop, but it can vary from an up-tempo strut to a sleepy, moving hug. Blues is always evolving, and embraces everything from latin to country.

We are going to dive into more technical variations, and we will brush on the different musical sub-genres.

About Blues: It is hard to tell when blues started, as it was passed on and not written down, and blues dance developed alongside the music. Blues dance as we know it developed around 1915-1920 and the famous st. Louis Blues was written down around 1914, while blues music has a long history back to the african-american slaves. Sometimes the lyrics describe a mean woman who takes your money and your happiness, but rumour has it, the evil women in the songs actually describes the slave owners.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE for this thematic class:

• These classes are for the more experienced blues-dancers. If you have taken classes before or been to minimum 3 tasters and know the basic steps and the pulse, this class is for you.
