Rock That Swing - Dance Camp
Feb 1st-4th, 2008
The idea ...
Our main wish was to combine the most popular swing dances of the 20’s to the 50’s at one camp and to present them to a wide range of audience – no matter if beginner, social dancer, or competition dancer - in comfortable premises with a first class instructor cast.
The implementation …
The Rock That Swing Dance Camp happened for the first time in February 2006 and was a big success. For the first time Boogie Woogie, Balboa, and Lindy Hop have been represented equally at a camp. A cosy atmosphere in nice dance studios, which won’t let come up a gymnastic hall feeling, will make it easier for you to learn and find contact with like-minded people. Every year we will make sure that an absolute top team of teachers will provide you new ideas and techniques to have more fun and sovereignty on the dance floor. Let’s get inspired!
To implement our goal even better, we came up with a few new ideas:
- With 12-13 dance studios the RTS Dance Camp can offer a very extensive program for everybody, so everybody gets their money’s worth, even having visited already many dance camps before.
- Due to the very strong frequented beginner classes last year, we will offer each of the consecutive bottom-up tracks for beginners in Boogie Woogie, Balboa, Lindy Hop, and Shag twice.
- For dancers with prior knowledge in Boogie Woogie, Balboa, and Lindy Hop there will be continuous classes in THREE levels (beginner/intermediate, intermediate, advanced) to choose from this year. This gives beginners with prior knowledge and new beginners the chance to continue with the classes more days without being overwhelmed.
- The special track “Train The Trainer”, which is constructed to the needs of teachers, will be held on Friday already so everybody can take advantage from the whole offer of the regular dance camp.
- Already on Friday you have the opportunity to book privates with your favorite teacher.
Of course we kept the approved stuff too:
- Free class selection at the camp.
- In the last lesson of each day there will be again various special themes and dances to choose from (taster lessons).
- The classes will start late (11:00 am), so you can enjoy all the evenings with live music and still get enough sleep.
- Marvelous separated dance studios (no annoying music from next-door) with parquet and mirrors.
- The regular dance camp lasts three days so you can benefit from the variety of the different classes, but you still can book each day independently.
- There are extra tracks for Shag, Charleston, and Acrobatics.
- We will have again discounted prices for several days camp participation and for students.
