>>> register for 29/11 here: https://forms.gle/muykkveCtvs2xeEK6 <<<Swing On The Move is a performance group for (beginning) swing dancers who want to co-create a choreo and experience being on stage! ?
We connect two dance scenes: Mechelen en Ghent, but everybody is welcome.
For Upside Down Festival (27 - 31 Dec), Swing On The Move organizes 2 sessions with a performance at the Festival as a result. Open for new dancers to join in this special moment!
Your dance/performance experience or (swing) dance style doesn’t matter. We work with what everyone brings to the session. Swing On The Move has been running for a year now, and for many dancers in the group, it was their first ever performance.
All sessions are free, drop-in, and stand-alone. You can join
- 1 session
- both
- the final performance (or not)
The only thing we ask is to sign up via a form if you plan to attend the first session in Mechelen, so we can prepare.
This initiative is part of the pre-Festival activities for Upside Down Festival. The sessions are facilitated by the Swing On The Move dancers & Ann-Sofie Van Enis (plan a) and realized by Upside Down, the organizer of the festival, with support from the City of Ghent and Flanders State of the Art.
