Yodelhop

yodel hop is a dance camp for swing dancers where dance, music, nature, and community flow seamlessly together. Set amidst the stunning mountain landscape of Ginzling, a temporary home is created over a weekend for people from all over the world who participate in Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz classes, dance to live music in the evenings, and enjoy the alpine atmosphere. What makes yodel hop truly special is not only the diverse program but also the feeling in between. Many participants describe one thing above all: the ease with which connections are made. Lindy Hop has deep historical roots and is closely tied to community and social interaction. The dance originated in the late 1920s within the African American communities of New York City and evolved from jazz music, Charleston, and the ballroom dances of the time. Characterized by improvisation, joy of life, and social exchange on the dance floor, Lindy Hop carries this history with it to this day.
