What we do:
Lindy Hop & Collegiate Shag are both a social dance that is typically danced in a group or with a partner, making it a great option for those looking to meet new people and have fun while learning to dance. It is also a versatile dance that can be adapted to different types of music and is suitable for all ages and skill levels.
We teach the basics of the dance, the footwork, and the connection with the partner. Our experienced teachers will help you to improve your style, musicality, and technique, and have fun.
We also organize social dance parties and events where you can practice and use what you have learned and make new friends. Join us for a swing dance class today and experience the energy and joy of this fantastic dance style!
Lindy Hop:
Lindy Hop is a fun and energetic form of dance that originated in the United States in the 1920s and 30s. It is characterized by its swing-style music and playful, improvisational movement. Dancing Lindy Hop can be a great way to socialize, stay active, and express oneself creatively. Additionally, many people enjoy the sense of community and history associated with this dance style.
Collegiate Shag:
Collegiate Shag is a jazz-era dance that was popular in the 1930s and 40s. It is characterized by its fast-paced, energetic footwork and syncopated rhythms. Dancing Collegiate Shag can be a great way to get a cardiovascular workout and improve coordination and musicality.
The dance is often performed in social dancing and swing dance events, and it is considered a fun and playful dance.
"I have been really surprised about how open and including the swingdance community is. It's so cool that everybody dances with everybody, no matter how experienced they are. That means that you quickly develop as a dancer, and most of all feel super welcome in the community".
