Rockabilly Fever 31.8.2024

,

(In English below)

Kesäkauden päätteeksi pääsemme herkuttelemaan rockabillyllä, kun saamme legendaariset rockabillyn taitajat Marko ja Meri Äijön Tampereelta vieraileviksi opettajiksi SwingOlle! Suosittelemme vahvasti tulemaan rockabillypäivään kauempaakin, eikä haittaa, jos et ole tanssinut rockabillyä aiemmin!

Rockabillyä tanssitaan improvisoidusti nopeaan rockabilly ja rock and roll -musiikkiin. Ominaista tässä vauhdikkaassa lajissa on reipas syke koko vartalossa ja rento asenne!

Kurssi sopii erinomaisesti aivan vasta-alkajille, mutta myös rockabillyä jo aiemmin kokeilleille. Nopeasti edistyville Marko ja Meri ovat lupailleet lisähaasteita!

_________________________________

To conclude the summer season, we'll be delving into the world of rockabilly with legendary rockabilly instructors Marko and Meri Äijö from Tampere visiting SwingO! We highly recommend coming to the rockabilly day even from afar, and it doesn't matter if you haven't danced rockabilly before!

Rockabilly is danced improvisingly to energetic rockabilly and rock and roll music. This fast-paced style is characterized by a strong beat throughout the body and a relaxed attitude!

The course is perfect for absolute beginners, but also for those who have already tried Rockabilly before. For fast learners, Marko and Meri have promised additional challenges!
