Class 1: Ready, set, FLY!
Always been curious about aerials but wasn’t sure where to start? Saw the Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers do their thing in Hellzapoppin’ and wondered if you could ever fly like that? We’ve got just the thing for you.
Building up from solid basics to flashy tricks to gravity-defying (but always safe) moves and jumps, this aerial workshop (suitable for ALL levels) will leave you happy, sweaty, and longing for more!
Please note that you will need a set partner for the workshop as the teachers won’t be rotating to ensure everyone’s safety.
If you’re stuck for a partner, don’t worry! You’re welcome to register on your own, and we’ll do our best to help you find a match among other solo registrants.
Class 2: Boogie back (and forward)!
What do you get when you combine swing and rock’n’roll? Simple. The most energetic and grooviest of dances that will make swinging to those ‘50s tunes from Elvis to Chuck Berry a whole lot easier — boogie woogie.
While similar to lindy in some ways, its very distinct personality, energy, and technique will certainly keep you on your toes (ok, this joke will make way more sense after the workshop).
This workshop is beginner-friendly and open to everyone who’s ready to boogie!
Cork experiences
Savour Cork’s flavours at a tour of a former Fransciscan monastery turned brewery or delve into Cork’s darker past with a unique Ghost Tour! What will it be?
Saturday night party with Le Hot Club Quintet
Swing the night away with Cork’s very own Le Hot Club Quintet. Their (amazingly danceable) tunes and infectious positive energy always make them a hit among the dancers.
Sunday tea party
Swing the afternoon away to the tunes of the best local DJs, keeping your energy up with delicious cakes and bites!
