Dates: 04.07.2024 – 18.07.2024
This is a great starting point to explore the joy that so many get from Lindy Hop!
We will start with the basic groove and rhythm of Lindy Hop. You’ll get clear guidance and support from our teachers. You’ll also explore outside of the basic steps, play with ideas and create fun moments with your partner.
With the solid foundation you’ll learn in this course, you’ll be able to:
- Dance to a huge variety of swing songs
- Dance with any partner and get them to smile
- Create great moments together
- Be a part of a diverse, modern and growing community
In this "Intro to Lindy Hop" course, we begin with the groove, footwork and shapes specific to Lindy Hop. (In our other introductory course, "Intro to Charleston" course, we start with Charleston steps that are also a foundation of Lindy Hop.) We’ll take you step-by-step through these basics of swing dancing:
- Foundations of rhythm and rhythmic movements
- Connection and communication in social dancing
- Closed and open position basics for Lindy Hop
- Basic improvisation, creativity and musicality in dance
No, you don’t need any previous dance experience or equipment! Whether you’ve taken a few taster classes already, or have never danced before, this course is a great start.
“At first I thought: Can I even do that? How do I coordinate my steps? Today even I dance secretly in the office. "
“It’s fun and refreshing. Not as difficult as I thought.”
“SwingStep is very open minded. It’s not bad if you’re making mistakes.”
“I’m really shy around people, so I thought I might feel uncomfortable, but it’s been great! :)”

All Info at Once
Here’s where Intro to Lindy Hop 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.
