Saturday:
Traffic Jam with Laia and Gustav: fun moves for the Jam Circle.
In Lindy Hop, it is common for jam circles to take place on or around special occasions such as birthdays or weddings. In these cases, the person(s) being celebrated will usually stay in the circle for the duration of the jam and, rather than dance one song with one partner, will dance one song but swap partners many times throughout.*Wikipedia*
Jamming in dance culture is a kind of informal show-off during a social danceparty. Dancers clear a circle (jam circle or dance circle) and dancers or dance couples take turns showing their best tricks while the remaining dancers cheer the jammers on. While some jam circles are staged, most form organically and spontaneously when the energy and mood is right.*Wikipedia*
