Herräng 3

- dancing sweden
After one week Herräng Dance Camp I ran out of Moskito spray, finally found the self-catering kitchen, and sadly, had to say goodbye to some of my new friends who left today.

One of them sneaked in this morning while I was still sleeping and left me his food. A bit creepy but greatly appreciated.

The last night of week one was legendary, and no pictures or videos could capture the atmosphere of the combined music, vintage hairstyles, clothes and decoration, together with the late hours. After a coffee and a beer around 3 am I found my second wind and had a few really fast Charleston dances before I retreated to the bar. There, a few musicians came together for a jam session, surrounded by a few dancing couples and just everyone swaying. Imagine clothes in Savoy Ballroom style (the theme of the night) and you feel like being part of a black and white movie from the 40ies.

I went to bed at 5 am, haven’t stayed up that late in a very long time.

Pictures of the general accommodations, where I’m staying, and the surprise I found under my bed this morning.
