Everyone knows the struggle of the post-festival Monday Blues. Well, we did some extensive research and studies show that the best way to prevent Monday Blues is to dance some blues the day before… on Sunday! Well, we wouldn’t want to ignore the science, so we prepared a free Blues Taster on Sunday evening. :)

Welcome Asrar and Venetia from Munich!

Asrar and Venetia discovered and fell in love with Blues in 2016 and ever since have been very passionate about blues music and dancing. They have attended about two dozen international blues dance festivals since 2022 including the ‘Bluesology Teachers Training’ and ‘The Jump’ in Valencia and are currently sharing their passion as blues dance instructors in the Vintage Club, Munich. Their classes are centred around forging a deep connection with the music and dance partner while maintaining a cool groove, emphasizing individualism, and respecting the cultural significance of blues music and blues dances.

For Alpine Jitterbugs – S**g ‘n‘ Bal 2024, they have prepared a special taster class that will explore how to dance to slow blues and jazz music. Focusing primarily on close embrace, the class will dive deep into techniques and tools that will elevate your slow dancing. The taster is open to all levels and the only requirement is to bring an open mind and heart for a quick peek into the world of blues dancing.

Hey, guess what? We have some exciting news to share! 🤭
It’s official.

We are now funded by the City of Innsbruck and the Land Tirol.
We couldn’t resist a little celebration, so we thought, why not invite a second, late-night band on Saturday night (ahem… Sunday morning)? Well, we did just that.

And who did we invite, you ask? None other than THE BIG FIVE!

With them on the stage, you’ll have no choice but to keep kicking, shuffling and turning until the wee hours of the morning. 🙂
We can’t wait to welcome you to an unforgettable weekend of dancing in our beautiful little city tucked away in the Tyrolean mountains!

We are excited about our new History Track! This is a new side track that consists of three independently bookable classes. We have created a “”classroom”” format, where you can actively engage with the topic in a workshop-style setting.
The price per one-hour class is 10 €.

Topics:

Class 1 | Oldtimers, the Who is Who (Minn and Teis) | Friday, 17:15 - 18:15 | @ Wundervoll, Pembaurstraße 14
Minn & Teis kicked off the History Talk last year. We loved the combo so much that they will also lead another History Class this year.

​​​​​​​Class 2 | Historical Moves in S**g and Balboa (Ryan and Teis) | Friday, 18:30 - 19:30 | @ Wundervoll, Pembaurstraße 14
Ryan & Teis are always researching old clips and original dancers, and through their research have built up quite a knowledge base of historical moves in S**g and Balboa. Join them to dig into that treasure chest.

​​​​​Class 3 | Get inspired by Balboa history and some original Dancers (Marijke and Minn) | Saturday, 17:15 - 18:15 | @ Wundervoll, Pembaurstraße 14
Marijke and Minn will be hosting this wonderful class all about Balboa History. Marijke, a Balboa Teacher and Swing Djane, actively research a lot in this field. We are excited to hear what she is going to share with us. Having worked with the countless legends of the swing era from LA to NY, Minn has endless stories to share, and we can’t wait to hear them!

A class that invites balboa and s**g dancers to improve their rhythmical dance skills by using authentic jazz steps. You will learn to spice up your partner dancing, especially during phrase breaks.
