Swing KIDS Swing teens

Welcome back to Herräng! The theme for this summer's dance camp is VERNACULAR SPECTACULAR! We translate vernacular into "by the people" and this year's camp focuses on naturally learned folk dances. There are as many folk dances as there are cultures in the world. These dances are not developed in dance studios but are developed in all available open spaces such as streets, house parties, parks, schoolyards and nightclubs.
​
This summer, our goal is for you to try breaking, buckdance (early tap dancing), African dance and the most popular folk dance of them all: Lindy hop!
Lindy Hop originated in Harlem, in the African American community. Lindy hop quickly became known all over the world through films, shows, competitions and via professional dance groups. When the dancers started to add acrobatics to Lindy hop, it got it's place in the history books forever.
Join us on a journey this summer: from the social folk dance's unique, popular community and naturalness all the way to the spectacular show world with choreography and extreme movements.

The dance camp is for everyone who is 8 to 17 years old, from beginners to those who want to start competitive dancing.

Of course, we must take into account the current Corona situation and, if necessary, the camp will be adapted to follow the Swedish Public Health Department's recommendations.

For the summer that is approaching, we offer the following (international means that we speak both Swedish and English in the lessons):
9/7 - 15/7, International Classic Swing Kids (8-12 years) NO MORE SPOTS! Register anyway and get a spot in our waiting-list.
9/7 - 15/7, International Classic Swing Teens (13-17 years) NO MORE SPOTS! Register anyway and get a spot in our waiting-list. 
9/7 - 15/7, International Swing teens Lindy Hop Invitational NO MORE SPOTS! Register anyway and get a spot in our waiting-list. 

International Classic Swing kids and Swing teens
Here you are divided into groups depending on age. New for this year that there are eight lessons in Lindy hop, instead of only six. Five lessons with a focus on social dance and three lessons in choreography. You also have theme-classes, Own choice and activities.

International Swing Teens Lindy Hop Invitational
This group will only have Lindy Hop classes. The level is intermediate to advanced. You get a total of 14 Lindy Hop classes and a rehearsal. The Invitational group has no mandatory activities and has a schedule that runs between 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, with several breaks. You apply to join this group and it is primarily for those who are 13-17 years old and have danced Lindy hop for more than 3 years. If you take this course, it is possible to order our lunch-package. International Swing teens Lindy Hop Invitational are part of the show on Thursday night and on Friday's Tea dance. Other activities (such as crafts, excursions, Friday beach and evening activities) are optional.

If you are 18-19 years old and would like to join our camp, email info@kalabalindy.com.

Theme classes
We have chosen three folk dances and the groups are divided according to age. Each group has one lesson in each theme class.
- African: West African dance that integrates recorded music with drums and drumsticks.
- Buckdance: An early form of Tap that emerged in the southern United States and has roots in the Caribbean. There is a lot of footwork done in down beat/off beat.
- Breaking: Acrobatic movements that are divided into four categories: top rock, down rock, power moves and freezes.

Own choice
These lessons are age-integrated and you have three lessons. Choose between:
Solo jazz and Tap: Authentic jazz with a focus on rhythm, with and without tap shoes.
Streetdance: Modern dance to contemporary music.

Activities
​The camp offers a combination of dance lessons and fun activities during the day. Our camp takes place at 10.00 to 16.40, Sunday to Friday. We offer evening activities between 8-10 pm, Sunday to Wednesday. On Thursday evening, the students get to show what they have learned during the week and on Friday there will be swimming and a Tea dance. We also organize a fun dance competition at the Tea dance, for everyone who wants to join in. The activities are a way for students to get to know new friends, have time to relax and recover. We will make at least one excursion to explore the small village of Herräng. Here the groups will be divided in different ways and at least one activity is all together.

Prices and food
SEK 2,900 per person and week, of which SEK 500 is a non-refundable deposit. The participation fee includes dinner on Thursday and Friday lunch. Our lunch package is five lunches (Sunday-Thursday) and is available for purchase at site for SEK 500.

Herräng Dance Camp
The dance camp runs parallel with Herräng Dance Camp, which started already in 1982. All adults can take classes and dance at the same time as their children, so this is an excellent summer activity for the whole family.

In addition to the dance camp there is plenty to do: Bands and DJs play on three dance floors, exhibitions, dance competitions, masquerades, shows, vintage clothing shop, taster classes, lectures, panel discussions and vintage films. Experience cultural heritage with Herräng's beautiful mines, visit Grisslehamn, Norrtälje, Roslagen's lakes and beautiful ocean, archipelago, forest and wildlife. Accommodation is everything from bunk beds in dormitory, tents, caravans or rent a cottage in the village. There are restaurants, food carts, café, ice cream parlor, stone oven baked pizza, a small local shop, and the small town Hallstavik, only 10 minutes away by car.
 
History
In 2003, Hanna Lundmark started the dance camp for children and it was called Swing kids.
The purpose was to inspire kids and teenagers to try Lindy hop.
Today the camp is run by Hanna and Mattias and the camp has grown from 8 students during one week, to over 160 students.
