What is Boogie Woogie? In short, Boogie woogie is a form of swing dance which has its origins in Lindy hop, with roots in the American blues and piano music from the 1930’s. The dance grew in popularity with the rock ‘n’ roll age from the 1950’s. Boogie Woogie is primarily danced to all kinds of rock ‘n’ roll music from back then or more modern pieces; from slow and elegant to blistering tempo.
If you like the dance, we also have weekly classes in Boogie Woogie later in the semester. https://ntnuidans.no/dans/1/3
