Les danseurs du Studio 88-SWING présentent un spectacle haut en couleurs afin d'illustrer en mouvement les différents styles de la famille des danses swing. En commençant par le Charleston des années 20, en passant par le swing dansé sur les Bigs Bands des années 30 et 40 et en terminant par le Rock and Roll et le Boogie Woogie des années 50, chacun des numéros vous emportera dans un voyage dans le temps et dans l'histoire d'une merveilleuse danse qui fait sourire tout ceux qui la regardent et encore plus ceux qui la dansent! Le tout sera aussi égayé par la magnifique voix d'Alisha Ruiss, chanteuse qui a déjà performé un excellent cabaret au Balcon et a aussi chanté dans le dernier spectacle 'Les Voyageurs' de la Swinging Air Force. Après le spectacle, vous aurez la chance d'essayer quelques pas: les danseurs vous offriront un cours d'introduction au Swing ! Plaisir garanti ! Le Balcon offre aussi une formule souper-spectacle, avis aux intéressés! Site web: http://lebalcon.ca/programmation/spectacles.php?id=159&ref=mois |

Don't miss Jammin The City, November 27th to 29th |
| Jammin the City is *THE* occasion to polish your dancing, get together with amazing dancers, party, listen to awesome music and generally have a great time! Montreal, Canada's swing dance mecca, has the honor of hosting on November 27-29th, for the very first time together in the metropolis, Nick Williams and Carla Heiney. Amazing dancers in both improv and routines, Nick and Carla have collected an impressive string of first places over the last two years, and will be sharing their awesomeness with us during 2 full days of fun-filled workshops. How many times will you have the opportunity to have those two legends so close to home? The answer: not many, so register now! To whom this workshop is aimed, I can hear you asking? You must know how to Lindy Hop. The workshop will be aimed towards intermediate and advanced dancers, and will be accessible but challenging for everyone. The rest of the weekend will also be filled with usual Montreal awesomeness: dance nights non-stop from Wednesday to Sunday, including a live band night and a swing dance show at the famed Espace Dell'Arte on Saturday night. |
