Sound people who know more than me: I'm considering applying for a grant to help a local dance buy a mixer for when they have live bands, probably in the $400-$700 range, though there may be an option to go slightly over if necessary.

Requirements:

- Portability is good (but not a strict requirement)
- We'd like the ability to record digitally and have digital returns (class-compliant or with Linux support since I'm the one who will do this mostly)
- At least one sub-mix for rear fill speakers (or some other way to do this) and/or for large bands
- Can't require a closed source iPad only app or what not (my own personal requirement or I'd just get a Behringer x16 or what not which seems basically perfect)
- Prefer real fades and knobs (this is a hill I personally will die on, but not a hard requirement for this group)

Tascam Model 12 is my current thought. Other suggestions?

International #Tap #Dance Day

Alle 1. + 2. Generation-Lindy Hopper konnten Jazz Tap.
Es zeigt sich in Footwork und Verständnis von Rhythmus.

Bzw. heutzutage bei Partys, wenn beides fehlt ...

Feine Radtour mit Swingtanz Picknick

Macht euch wieder sonntagsfein und kommt um 14 Uhr zum Co-Labor vor dem Weimarer Stadtschloss.

Nach einem kleinen Eröffnungstanz radeln wir entspannt entlang der Ilm zum Tiefurter Park, wo es mit Musik, Tanz und Picknick weitergeht. Picknickdecken und Proviant nicht vergessen!

Die mobile Swingschleuder begleitet uns mit feinster Tanzmusik für Lindyhop, Charleston und Balboa.

„I would argue #Lindy Hop is crucial to understanding #Jazz. It is intimately connected to Jazz music–to its development, to its appeal, and to its popularity. The way that people made sense of Jazz music for at least 30 of its most crucial years is by #dancing. The dancing co-evolved with the music and I would argue the pinnacle of that evolution was reached in the Lindy Hop.“ - Skye Humphries
