Live band: SOB & THE CZYKS
The band led by pianist Andreas Sobczyk stands for authentic, high-energy traditional jazz and blues of the highest calibre, consistently and passionately bringing the sound of the early jazz era to the stage. After numerous international tours, renowned festival appearances and projects with other well-known musicians, they are now coming to Landsberg. Look forward to a ‘swing-tensive’ party and a sound that goes straight to the heart and the legs.
Mix&Match competition Lindy Hop
In Mix & Match competitions (formerly also: Jack & Jill), the dance partners are drawn by lot directly before the tournament. No choreographies are performed, but all random pairs dance simultaneously, similar to social dancing, while being observed by the jury. Apart from dance technique and timing, teamwork and creativity will be judged.
To register, you do not need to bring a partner. You don't need any experience in competitions either – even if you are at Intermediate/Advanced level, you can still take part. It's all about having fun and the excitement of dancing and improvising with (probably) unknown dance partners in front of an audience to unknown music. A Mix & Match competition is also a great opportunity if you would like to get a taste of competing without too much pressure.
Preliminaries
The preliminary round for the Lindy Mix&Match will take place at 8.30 p.m. We will meet at 8 p.m.in Hall 3. You will dance with 3 different dance partners at medium tempo, with all dance couples dancing at the same time. Each dancer will be judged individually. You can therefore get to the finals independently of your dance partners.
Finals
The 6 finalists (3 leaders and 3 followers) will dance to 3 songs in different tempos (slow, medium, and fast). Our teachers take part as dance partners, i.e. 3 "amateur dancers" have the chance to dance 3 dances with "pro dancers". The couple will be judged as a whole. So it's not just the individual performance that counts, but also what you make of the dance as a couple.
Prizes
Great prizes await 1st-3rd places, such as free workshop tickets for the next BBDC or other camps.
