Tuesday Night Swing @ Club el Social im Viadukt 10
Lindy Hop, a dance more well known as Swing, a social dance that originated from the street and constituted the basis of a series of other dances including the Black Bottom, the Charleston and Shim Sham.
Lindy hoppers around the globe, novices and professionals alike are a most welcoming, smiling and delightful crowd that contribute through dance to bringing back a joy for life, while reviving a counter-cultural dance bourne from unprecedented recession and economic depression in 30ies Harlem, New York in parties at iconic venues such as the Savoy Ballroom, no longer in existence since 1958.
Today's swing dance enthusiasts are spreading their love of Jazz, Rythm & Blues and Swing music through dancing to the likes of Billie Holliday, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Red Garland to mention but a few...as well as big swing bands including the Count Basie Orchestra and many more...
"Social" swing dancing is the key to learning, sharing and creating the moves that fill the dancefloors with heat, energy, dynamism and happiness around the globe.
In Zürich, the Lindy Hop "scene" is surprisingly big and friendly, fully catering for the addiction of Lindy Hoppers who cannot wait to hit the dance floor after their hum-drum work day is over.
Tuesday Night Swing @ Club el Social im Viadukt 10 is a most pleasant mid-week occurence attended by regulars as well as beginners to enjoy a relaxing evening...it is also a great work-out in a fully social environment...
