Classes start on Tuesday 02/10/2018 and are held every Tuesday and
Thursday evening (solo jazz and four different levels of Lindy Hop).

First class is free and open to anyone who is curious and wants to try
out swing dancing. (It helps the organisers to register at:

Lindy Hop is a dance from the 1930s that has its origin in Jazz music
and mostly developed in Harlem, New York City. It was born out of a
fusion of several dances, like the Charleston, Breakaway, Solo Jazz and
Tap Dance. Lindy Hop is an improvised partner dance that involves
elements of solo dancing and leaves extensive room for creativity and
musicality.
