Cat's Pajamas

Dear Friends 💫

we unfortunately have to cancel the upcoming courses. We are very sorry about that.

The reason is that Rudi’s PR couldn’t be processed in the anticipated time, so he currently is not allowed to work in Canada anymore.

Thanks so much everyone’s trust, interest and energy. We really appreciate you showing up, and we are working at full speed to resolve this and be back with some sweet Lindy Hop and Original Jazz for you. This choice really wasn’t an easy one, and we have been chewing on options for a while. When dealing with institutions that have that kind of power, sometimes one just hast to accept that it is what it is.

Much much love, dance soon, meow!

🌪️ Let’s go Toronto 🌪️

Calling all dancers with some experience in other styles to join us for Lindy Hop 💫

In this 5 week closed group intensive course, you’ll get together with other dancers and learn the fundamentals you need to have fun social dancing. We’ll dive into basics of leading and following - the frame, stretch, flow and momentum etc. - and learn the fundamental forms that make up all the more sophisticated vocabulary. You’ll be equipped to bask in the joy of Swing music and have co-creative dialogues with your dance partners. Oh yes.

If you want to be a part of this (and we don’t know you yet), please send us a little description of your dance journey so far in a dm.

To sign up, simply interac the $ to [email protected] and indicated your name as a reference.

It's gonna be fun 🐾
