 The cats and kittens of the Copenhagen swing community are finally hanging out again!

This means that curious people get the opportunity to try out the best moves from swing, jitterbug and lindy hop.

The instructions will be in english and danish, and there is absolutely no need to be scared of tripping over your feet. It is just a matter of having fun.

You don’t need to dress up in any way and you don’t need to bring a partner. The swing-DJ will be in his place and in this foolishly happy crowd you will easily get carried away.

So spend your sunday on something real and go move your feet like there’s no tomorrow.

Københavns Musikteater, Kronprinsensgade 7, City Show map

20:00 – 22:00 // entrance 50 Dkk

Københavns Musikteater (Copenhagen Music Theatre) has a broad variety of genres which include both drama and music. It’s located in one of the beautiful protected houses in inner Copenhagen and is worth a visit, if you’re into small stage performances. If you’re curious to visit the theater, check out the performance Drift.

Drift is a two-parted investigation of the human being as a creature controlled by drives – captured between culture and biology.

Drift places itself in the crossfire between human’s biological drives and culturel behaviour. “We civilize ourselves in the morning” as poet Kirsten Hammann put it. Sure thing – but after we have past midday, the drives have messed up the shiny surface. It’s a take over from the inside – a civilization under attack by the inner forces.

The first part of Drift is a solo performed by dancer Kitt Johnson, part two is performed by FORUM HUMANUM and has a scheduled premier in 2013

Klub ÜberIndie is a brand-new monthly indie club that celebrates good-ol’ indie music. Klub Überindie takes place on the second Thursday of each month, the concept is simple: For each event the DJ’s will be assigned a dogma from which they will create an indie DJ-set.

On this opening night the Danish indie-guru Nikolaj Nørlund will be playing a set along with Rune Hedeman from 1234. The DJ’s have been assigned the dogma “inDiEBUT” and will fill the room with indie magic.

Klub Überindie is at the rock bar Isola at Israels Plads in downtown Copenhagen,  next to Nørreport station. The key words for this event are “hygge” and humor, Isola will be decorated for the night to create the right indie ambience.

There is no entrance fee at this brilliant event, so there is absolutely no excuse for not dropping by. Still need some persuasion? There is a great offer on draught beers!
