Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz workshop - Groove Juice Special 17-18 November 2018 Location: Luleå, Sweden. Hälsans Hus - Sal 1 & 2.
Teachers: Gabriella Rosati: Gabriella is a professional dancer and member of the world famous swing dance company the Harlem Hot Shots. She is really one of the most fantastic female dancer around today. She has been able to catch the authentic way of moving to jazz music and when looking at her dancing it's like looking at some of the best dancers from the 30's and 40's. She truly glows on the dance floor and seeing her dance is beyond beauty.
Patrik Pettersson: Patrik is also a professional dancer and member of the Harlem Hot Shots. If you haven't seen Patrik dance yet you have for sure missed something. With his strong, masculine and yet sensual way of moving he brings our thoughts straight back to Al Minns - one of the original dancers of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers. Patrik's style is unique and something extraordinary and if there is one leader that is going to shine stronger among the world's Lindy Stars it is for sure this fellow dancer. Gabriella and Patrik are two of our absolute favorite dancers of all time and we are so fortunate and happy to get the fantastic mix of Gabriella and Patrik to teach together at Groove Juice Special. You just got to see them to understand what we're talking bout!
Åsa och Daniel Heedman: Former members of The Rhythm Hot Shots and Harlem Hot Shots. With our 25 years of experience as professional dancers and teachers we will do our best to teach you what we have learnt from some of the original dancers that we had the chance to learn from, dance with and experience the dance from. We will pass on our love, our rhythm and our groove to you this weekend. To read more about us please go to About Us.

When registering you will sign not need to sign up for any particular level. We will instead divide everyone into two groups when we meet on Saturday morning.
Lindy Hop BeginnerIntermediate/Intermediate:You should know the very basics in Lindy Hop like the Swing Out, Circle, Promenade, a few 6-counts, etc.
Lindy Hop IntermediateAdvanced/Advanced:You should have at least 100 hours of dancing Lindy Hop in your back-pocket. You are somewhat comfortable changing around your footwork and have a desire to get a challenge in your Lindy dancing.
Solo jazz:All levels welcome. We will challenge each and every one on their own level. Solo Jazz means that you dance on your own. It is a great way to learn and discover how you can move your body and find your own style, which is favorable to bring into your Lindy dancing.
