Swing Dance Retro Swing Ball

Swing Dance developed in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s. During that depressing period, jazz flourished and filled the ballroom, lifting and comforting people’s spirits and providing them with an outlet for catharsis. The retro and playful swing dance has a history of nearly half a year and has been active to this day. It is a typical activity of texture and retro life, and has become the first choice for too many urbanites who are full of stress after get off work.
In MeetingJazz Club, jazz belongs to life. Retro is not just an image expression, but to understand life in the taste of life. We meet every Wednesday to Swing together, and you are welcome to try it too.
Camelwalk is a new swing dance force in Hangzhou. It is committed to the promotion and development of swing dance and retro culture in Hangzhou. The name of the organization comes from the classic movement of camel walk in swing dance, and it also means to dance swing dance outdoors. Camelwalk believes that everyone in Swing does not dance to please others, but enjoys the energy and happiness conveyed by the music itself. We hope to create happiness with swing dance and jazz as the carrier, and create a relaxed and pleasant social atmosphere for everyone.

Jam Session/Improv Night
Moderator: Li Shouxin & Dong Wei
Free Entry
The charm of jazz lies in improvisation. No matter how you practice at home, what kind of teacher you learn from, whether you go to the United States or the Netherlands to study, you must eventually achieve one goal, which is to perform on stage. Live is the best way to interpret jazz. As a newcomer to Meeting Jazz, we hope to grow together with musicians in Hangzhou.
In the process of learning jazz, this is the training method that is closest to actual combat. The skills, harmony, rhythm, and music aesthetics you usually learn about playing musical instruments will be vividly presented the moment you take the stage. Of course, you also need to learn how to express yourself when you play, how to listen when others play,
Everyone is welcome to bring your musical instruments, bring your dedication and love for jazz, and meet jazz together. At the same time, each musician participating in the Jam can receive a glass of free wine/soft drink at the bar.
