First Stops
Iconic Lindy Hop Routine

Day & Time: Wednesday, 19:45 – 20:45

Dates: 19.04.2023 – 17.05.2023

This routine is Lindy Hop at its finest! It's a fast-feet routine, combining solo and partnering, with flashy moves and great rhythm, and just filled with energy and fun. It was created in the 1930s and is so iconic that it's still regularly quoted: parts of it are regularly used in popular choreographies even today, and a few elements have become classics of social dancing too.

You will learn the full routine from scratch and get plenty of tips on how to dance it and make it feel great. We'll also spend some time training some technical aspects like fast swingouts and how to combine solo and partnered movement smoothly.

You should be very comfortable with the basic repertoire that goes into this routine:

  • Swing Outs
  • Charleston kicks
  • Tandem Charleston

A special note on the swing outs: for this course to be comfortable for you and for the rest of the group, you should already be able to dance them easily at medium tempos.

If you're not really comfortable with these elements before joining the course, it will probably be too challenging for you. If you're not sure, just send an email and ask us 🙂

Here’s where First Stops takes place:

SwingStation Kurfürsten-Anlage 58
69115 Heidelberg

The entrance is on the eastern side of the building, reachable from the Kurfürsten-Anlage itself or from the Kirchstraße. Our studio is on the ground floor, at the end of the hall.

Public Transportation: many busses, streetcars, trains; stops “Hauptbahnhof” or “Stadtwerke”.

Parking: please do not park in the yard, the parking spaces don’t belong to us and you might get a ticket. It’s hard to find parking spots in our area, so you should plan in some extra time. You can try to find street parking in the Kirchstraße or Vangerowstraße, or you might need to go to a nearby Parkhaus (e.g. P1 in the Poststraße) and walk from there.
