heedman lindy camp
Summer camp in Luleå for 3 days, first time in history!
When the sun never sets and you can hardly tell if it is daytime or night time. Come and dig deep down to your Lindy Roots together with us for three days at our Lindy Camp in a small village surrounded by nature, woods, small mountains and water. Bring your sleeping bag and Lindy shoes and get ready for a bright and hardworking weekend!
We have a limit of Maximum 12 Couples. We want to give you that personal feedback that you normally only get in a private class and help you to find the small little details that makes the big difference!
LEVEL
Intermediate up to Advanced plus
Depending on the general level of the group we are going to have more or less of rotation. We will make sure that each and every one will be challenged on their own level and yet not being held back by any other in the group.

classes during the weekend
During those 3 days we will work on:
- Pre Lindy Hop During one class we will work on material inspired from the Movie After Seben and dancers like Shortey George Snowden and Mattie Purnell
- Savoy Lindy Hop - What is that? We will talk a little, watch some movies for ideas and inspiration but of course, most of all dance on this subject. We will also have one specific session where we will work on helping you to understand what it is that you should look for (start with) when you want to take out steps or rhythm from an original dance clips.
- Vernacular Jazz steps from Charleston in to Bebop In this class we will not only work on traditional jazz steps but also take you down the history lane and a fun potpourri of jazz steps and music through 4 decades of Jazz music.
- West African dancing and the resemblance to Solo-Jazz of the 40's You will work for one class together with Usman Camara who is a professional dancer and teacher in West African dancing. He have put together a routine together with us where we will find the african roots in steps like Apple Jacks, Tuck Annies, Fall of the log, Sucy Q and many more.
- Personal feed back on your own dancing, both fundamentals and styling During the workshop we as teachers will be in the rotation so that we can dance with you and also being able to give you feed back all through the weekend.
- Rhythm and musicality Always a part of our classes in general but we will also focus a little extra on this topic where we will talk about: What to listen for in the music as a rhythm dancer, how start building up nice and simple rhythms and other things like: what is a riff, a break, a course and maybe most importantly: how important is this for me as a Lindy Hopper and how do I work with this in my Lindy Hop dancing?
- Air-steps We will work on easy, basic air-step. Lifts, jumps but also some "real" air-step that also includes some kind of rotation in the air.
If the weather allows we might do some of the classes (african and air-step) out side in the sun.
