Friday Hop

We open the BB-DanceCamp with our Friday Hop in the Swingdiele at approx. 9 p.m (right after the History Talk). Here you can dance your way in, get to know your teachers and dance partners and get into the BBDC feeling.

Special: History Talk with Joseph Sewell

Joseph is one of the leading British dancers, teachers, and choreographers of swing dances. He learned from and worked with legends of the 1930s, including Frankie Manning, Norma Miller, Barbara Billups, and Chester Whitmore. He's been involved in various BBC productions and documentaries and runs the Facebook group Swingopedia, dedicated to the history of African American dance and music. He’ll be sharing fascinating insights and stories about swing dancing and the swing community – and he’s happy to answer your questions, too!

When? Friday, 22 May, 8 p.m. (right before the Friday Hop)

Where? Swingdiele
