Followlogie is all-encompassing celebration of the follower's role in the world of swing dances, including Lindy Hop, Solo Jazz & Blues, while offering fresh and new persepectives for leaders on how important their partners are. Followlogie features some of the most inspiring international teachers to develop the art of being a strong follower. To participate in Followlogie is essentially finding a space to work your dance skills as a follower and as a leader, keeping in mind the follower's perspective. Solo, couple and exploration dance classes are offered to develop the tools you need to find your voice and define your dancer's identity. The competitions, the show, the discussions, the music and dance nights are as many occasions to fill up with inspiration !!! CELEBRATE - EMPOWER - UNDERSTAND - EXPRESS !! We intend: To offer great opportunities for dancers expressing and celebrating the follower role To develop leader skill level in creating exceptional moves and movement based on the connected partnership inherent to our dance To provide a medium for the expression, empowerment, and development and celebration of women's place in the swing community We intend to create spaces for developing one's individuality for all who wish to invest the follower's role. The goal is to define and express Jazz dancer identities, knowledge of the solo and couple formats for social dancing and/or performance in a fun and empowering environment emphasizing inclusiveness. Most importantly, we wish to do all of this while considering the realities that women specifically face in our community and the ways in which men can complement, understand, celebrate and support them.

If you add to your recipe some lindy hoppers, a pinch of tap dancers, a slurp of break dancers, a cup of great musician, and a handful of cool DJs you obtain a great delicious party called Brothers in Jazz. We like to share the same dancefloor and mutually inspire us, because we learn from each other and inspire each other, so our own dance gets enriched. These dance styles are branches of the same tree, different expressions of the same culture. We want to inspire each other but not fuse with each other, this is not a fusion event. You will have classes of the different styles and during the parties we will put a mix of music to share among the communities and dance as much as we can. We aim to improve our dance by improving our dancing in general. Inspire us not only by what we have in front but also from what we have next to us. To receive the ads as we launch you can like on our Facebook page and follow us on instagram. Meanwhile, if you are thinking about signing up, we tell you that you must haver a profile on our website, for this you can register here. Soon we will tell you much more, but for the moment save the date!
