# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Rhythm and Blues Butiq
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 04:30 pm – Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: *English below*

To je ta posebni SwinGradec dodatek — majhen, osredotočen in ustvarjen za vse, ki si želijo več. Za izkušene plesalke in plesalce, ki jih zanima nekaj globljega, bolj groovy in malo drugačnega. Morda tudi za učitelje, ki si želijo osvežiti navdih.

Rhythm and Blues Butiq raziskuje, kako se lahko Lindy Hop odziva na vplive Rhythm and Bluesa, jump bluesa, boogieja in zgodnjega rock’n’rolla. Pomislite na močan groove, igrive breake, izrazite ritem sekcije, blues, boogie in zgodnjo rock’n’roll energijo.

In ja, tukaj je tudi zgodovina.
Ko se je swing glasba skozi 40. in 50. leta spreminjala, so se z njo spreminjali tudi plesalci. Zvok je postal bolj direkten, bolj prizemljen, včasih težji, včasih bolj navihan — Lindy Hop pa je našel nove načine, kako zadihati, se prilagoditi in igrati z glasbo.

Butiq vodita Francesca Checcacci & Marco Baracchi — učitelja, znana po globokem poznavanju vintage plesne kulture, partnerske povezave, muzikalnosti in načina, kako zgodovino prenesti v gibanje.

*ENGLISH*

A focused dance session with Francesca Checcacci & Marco Baracchi

That special SwinGradec kind of extra — small, focused and made for people who want more. ✨
For experienced dancers curious about something deeper, groovier and just a little different. Maybe even for teachers who want to refresh their inspiration too.

Rhythm and Blues Butiq explores how Lindy Hop can respond to Rhythm and Blues, jump blues, boogie and early rock’n’roll influences. Think strong grooves, playful breaks, powerful rhythm sections, blues, boogie and early rock’n’roll energy.

And yes, there is history here.
As swing music changed through the 1940s and 1950s, dancers changed with it. The sound became more direct, more grounded, sometimes heavier, sometimes cheekier — and Lindy Hop found new ways to breathe, adapt and play.

Guiding this Butiq are Francesca Checcacci & Marco Baracchi — teachers known for their deep knowledge of vintage dance culture, partner connection, musicality and the way they bring history into movement.
