Why slangpolska?
One of the missions we brought home with us is to introduce all y'all to the awesomeness of the dancing that is Actually cool in Sweden now. Slangpolska -- as danced in Stockholm and Uppland and among the multigenerational set -- is more freeform-y nonchoregraphed-y improv-y swingdance-y than what you may expect from the Scandi-dance scene in these parts, and it is totally a great fit for our dance demographic. PLUS that is where a great many of the super-awesome accessible tunes are, so the increasingly many folks who want to play Swedish tunes will also be happy.
What does it look like?
Here are a couple of teeny snippets of what slangpolska looks like at dance events, and a couple of longer performance clips where you can see the dancing of our friend Petra Eriksson, one of the most sought-after young dancers in Stockholm.
What to expect
Our dance parties welcome dancers of all levels of experience.
What to bring: Low-heeled leather-soled shoes are best for our turning dances. No partner necessary.
