Let’s do The Mess Around!
More than your average Lindy Hop festival, The Mess Around combines excellent locations, swingin’ bands, and great teachers with a fresh concept. Designed to grow your connections with the musicians, rhythms, and each other, our teachers and organizers have been working together to create a program featuring a class with live music, in-class challenges, and surprises during the parties.
Our locals know us for our welcoming and inclusive monthly beer dances. With the Mess Around, we want to create a weekend of fun and inspiration that helps you grow your dancing, whether it be solo, partnered, or even with more than one partner! Let’s get connected, be playful, and Mess Around!
Focusing on how we interact and connect, we challenge you to take your dancing experience to the next level and…
Dancing is so much more than doing moves and following steps together with a partner, it is an exploration of the music! That’s why we will strive to really connect with it during the classes, one of which is with live music. Connection and exploration will also be the focus of our three parties with live bands. Tune in to a specific musician, sync with one of the many rhythmic layers, and become a part of the ‘musical organism’ that’s filling the space.
…connect solo to partner dancing and beyond
Be prepared to explore how solo, partner dancing, or group dancing can boost your ability to connect with the music, other dancers, and the dance floor around you. We are welcoming upcoming and established international teachers to guide you along the way.
…connect to your inner joy and mess around!
In the end, just like the move, The Mess Around is all about having fun. Get ready for some grooving, stealing, switching, and jamming. The festival will allow you to safely explore all those groovy possibilities in your body. It’s not about what you do, how you dance, or with whom, as long as it brings a smile to your face.
