Solidarity pricing
Gothenburg Queer Lindy Festival will use solidarity pricing for all classes. We prioritized keeping the prices relatively low in order to make this event as economically accessible as we could. However the ones of you who struggles financially will also have the possibility to choose the subsidized ticket alternative. For this to be possible for us as a festival, we ask all of you who have the means for it, to choose the higher price category. When you pay the higher price, you will in practice sponsor a fellow queer to join in the fun.
Full pass (including classes and parties): Standard: 1600 SEK, Sponsor: 1900 SEK. Subsidized: 1300 SEK
(Aprox. 130-190 USD or 120-170 EUR)
Party pass: 650 SEK
(aprox. 65 USD or 60 EUR)
Our Tracks
Queer Lindy Beginner
(Beginner, beginner-improver level)
You are new to lindy hop and want to get to know the basics, or you have taken some lindy hop classes before and want to improve your basics. No previous dance experience is necessary. The course is a so called ELEF (everybody leads, everybody follows). This means that during the weekend you will learn the fundamentals of both leading and following. Enough to have a blast on the dance floor!
Queer Lindy Improver
(From an improver level)
You have been dancing lindy hop for a while, but mainly focusing on one role. You social dance with some regularity. You feel comfortable dancing to medium-tempo and a bit faster songs in your first role. You may have tried the other role but no previous experience in the other role is necessary.
During this weekend you will improve your dancing, focusing on your second role, switching and exploring the different aspects of queering lindy hop.
Queer Lindy Intermediate
(From an intermediate level)
You feel comfortable with both following and leading and social dance regularly. You are almost as fluent in your second role as your first. You are comfortable dancing to a variety of tempos (110-170bpm) in both roles and would sign up to an intermediate (or higher level) class for a non switching festival. During this weekend you will improve your dancing in both roles, work on connection with your partner and explore the possibilities of following, leading and switching.
Queer Lindy Intermediate-Advanced
(From an intermediate/advanced level)
You feel comfortable with both following and leading. You social dance regularly, dancing both roles. You would likely sign up at another festival for an intermediate-advanced or advanced class. You feel equally comfortable dancing both roles and really want to extend your capabilities when it comes to working on connection with your partner and explore the possibilities of following, leading and switching at a higher level.
