Over the course of two hours, we\u2019ll cover the basics of the foxtrot and the single swing: you\u2019ll learn the basic steps, the most common easy figures, and the fundamentals of leading and following. You\u2019ll also get a feel for the rhythm of couple dancing, how to use the space, and how to move smoothly with others on the dance floor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLavatanssit\u201d is a traditional Finnish summer evening activity. People get dressed up, go out, and dance the summer evening away, moving counterclockwise around a dance pavilion as the band plays old favourites and new.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2000\">The <strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">foxtrot<\/strong> is a cornerstone of Finnish Lavatanssi culture\u2014a smooth, flowing, and versatile dance performed to the rhythm of older Finnish hit songs and more laid-back pop music. <strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">Single swing<\/strong>, on the other hand, is a more cheerful and energetic style, featuring flexible and rhythmic movements. Single swing is often danced to faster pop music and swing-inspired tunes, bringing a playful variety to the dance floor.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2375\">The quick start to Lavatanssi also covers the customs and etiquette of Lavatanssi dancing, so you\u2019ll feel confident hitting the dance floor. The goal is that, after this class, you\u2019ll feel confident heading out to summer dance halls to enjoy the music, movement, and dancing with others, as well as to learn more through hands-on experience.<\/p>\n<h3 data-renderer-start-pos=\"2682\">Tiia Anttila<\/h3>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2696\">Tiia Anttila is a cheerful and approachable dance teacher and certified Pilates instructor. She graduated as a dance teacher from Oulu University of Applied Sciences in 2020 and has also studied dance in Melbourne, Australia.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2920\">Tiia dances a wide variety of styles, including show dance, contemporary dance, Latin dance, and various couple dances. She also teaches Pilates and body maintenance classes. Tiia is particularly passionate about wedding dances and choreographing them, as well as show dance, contemporary dance, and Pilates.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"3200\">Tiia\u2019s classes have a safe and welcoming atmosphere where everyone can succeed at their own level. Tiia particularly enjoys watching her students grow and seeing the joy that comes from learning something new. In her view, dance is best when shared.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"3463\">More information about the workshop: <a class=\"_ymio1r31 _ypr0glyw _zcxs1o36 _mizu194a _1ah3dkaa _ra3xnqa1 _128mdkaa _1cvmnqa1 _4davt94y _4bfu1r31 _1hms8stv _ajmmnqa1 _vchhusvi _kqswh2mm _ect4ttxp _syaz13af _1a3b1r31 _4fpr8stv _5goinqa1 _f8pj13af _9oik1r31 _1bnxglyw _jf4cnqa1 _30l313af _1nrm1r31 _c2waglyw _1iohnqa1 _9h8h12zz _10531ra0 _1ien1ra0 _n0fx1ra0 _1vhv17z1\" title=\"mailto:info@flama.fi\" href=\"mailto:info@flama.fi\" data-renderer-mark=\"true\" data-is-router-link=\"false\" data-testid=\"link-with-safety\">info@flama.fi<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"296\">Finnish summer and Lavatanssi dances are calling!
