Crime City Rollers

The event for Tour de force is here, and the tickets here.
But lets get to the important stuff here: As all of you know, a Roller Derby bout is not a bout unless it ends with a hejdundrandes after party with human pyramids and plankan on the dance floor. Therefore, we invite you, whether you’ve cheered for us at the bout or not, win or loss, to dance away with us in the evening.

WHERE?
The party takes place at Retro on Skolgatan in Malmo.

On the dance floor:
To the honor of our most long-distance guests ”Serge et Whitney” will play music that is characterized by the French 60s and moaning between 22-00.30
Between 00:30 to 03:00, Stolta Slampan will get the dance floor cooking to the beats of hip hop / riot / punk / RnB / hits / pop / house / Electro / dupstep.

WHEN?
Open: 22-03
Get there early!

HOW MUCH? Admission: 20 SEK to the closet

The 17th of March CCR will play a double header at Baltiska Hallen, Malmö against London Rollergirls Brawl Saints (CCR A-team), and Luleås Slaughters Daughters (CCR B-team).

The London bout will be our first mock sanctioned bout, and an important step for CCR to become a full member of WFTDA.

CCR have from the start worked hard to build networks between leagues in Europe, with focus on exchange of knowledge and sports philosophy. In 2012 CCR will learn from the elite- Englands London rollergirls! Stefanie Mainey and Liv or Die from London rollergirls will coach a serious bootcamp in Malmö the 24-26 februari!
