Finally a dance event! And an update on it too.

A community member, Michelle, reached out wanting to host a hip-hop freestyle session, and I'm helping her put it together.

Same as with the hike event we sadly had to delay: first time she's hosting anything, first time we're running this format, so treat it as more of a test, not something we are used to doing yet.

Saturday 1 August, 19:00-21:00. Moved from the original 25 July I know some of you already RSVP'd for. The room a community member found for us was only free on the 1st, not the 25th, so we took it, and Michelle's confirmed she's good for the new date.

We've got a real room this time: Rom for Dans at Marstrandgata 8 in Oslo (entrance via Stockholmgata), a proper dance space with a mirror and sound system already in it. Heads up though, it's not huge, 65 square meters (Lille produksjonsrom), so don't picture a big hall. Booked 19:00 to 21:00, so Michelle's session runs the first hour and a half and there's a bit of time after if people want to keep dancing.

Because the room actually costs money this time, this is the first Room for More event I'm charging for: 75 kr per person, goes straight to the room, not to me. Buy your ticket on the website, that's what actually reserves your spot, RSVP here on Meetup too if you want but the ticket is the real one. Link: https://www.roomformore.no/events/oslo-hiphop-freestyle-2026-07/ If 75 kr is a stretch for you, message me, I'd rather you come than not. Can't make it after buying? Message me, I'll sort a refund.

The plan: a short personal intro, a bit of hip-hop history (oldschool vs newschool, where it actually comes from), then a warm-up where Michelle shows basic moves and everyone follows along, easing into a walking cypher so nobody's thrown straight into the deep end.

Michelle also got something new called "Animation," basically miming, an idea she brought up while we were planning this. It could be a fun curveball for people who've never done anything hip-hop before.

If time and mood allow there might be a round or two more on top, built so nobody has to do something they don't want.

There is also a fun concept where we can make a dance move/set that matches your name/personality.

No experience needed, and no pressure to be good at any of it. This is about moving, having fun, and getting a little more comfortable dancing with other people, not a performance.

I'll actually be there this time too, just not as the main host, mostly logistics and a second speaker to pair with hers. I also really want to participate, even though I'm shy with dancing haha.

Cost: 75 kr, ticket on the website (link above), goes towards the room. Can't make it after buying? Message me and I'll sort a refund.

Music: two speakers between us, nothing fancy.

Venue: Rom for Dans, Marstrandgata 8, Oslo (entrance via Stockholmgata). Room is 65 sqm, so it's cosy rather than huge.

Language: English and Norwegian both fine, depending on who shows up.

When / where: Saturday 1 August, 19:00-21:00, at Rom for Dans, Marstrandgata 8 (entrance Stockholmgata).

If you already RSVP'd for the 25th, sorry for the shuffle, hope 1 August still works for you. Comment here or message me if you've got questions.
