Day & Time: Tuesday, 20:45 – 21:45
Dates: 01.04.2025 – 13.05.2025 (no classes on 22.04.)
Want to know how to improve your dancing, no matter what the move and no matter which partner? How to improve your Lindy Hop without needing to add more moves to your repertoire? How to refine your movements, prevent injuries, and just plain dance better? Then we have the perfect course for you!
In this course it’s not about moves and variations, it’s all about how you use and move your body in the dance, and making you more comfortable, more powerful, more refined … more awesome.
What will I learn in this course?
This course is all about quality of movement - how to move your body efficiently, how to prevent injuries and strains on the body, how to create movements with elegance and control. The course is primarily designed to help you improve your partnered Lindy Hop and Charleston, but you will surely see benefits in your Solo Jazz dancing as well 🙂 There will be a lot of solo training in the course, but also some partnered exercises. Topics will vary depending on the teacher, but can include:
- posture and balance
- body isolations and polycentric movement
- spins & turns
- footwork abilities and variations
- rhythm
- developing your style
What should I know before joining?
Anyone can benefit from this course, from very new to very experienced dancers. In order to work well with the group we expect you to have some experience dancing Lindy Hop and Charleston or other dance styles.
If you are not sure whether the course is right for you, don’t hesitate to ask us 🙂

The building is closed on evenings and weekends, please use the buzzer so we can let you in. Our studio is in the “souterrain” – go downstairs and follow the sound of swing music 😉
Public Transportation: many busses, streetcars, trains; stops “Hauptbahnhof”, “Ringstraße”, or “Römerkreis Süd”.

You can also try a nearby Parkhaus: there’s the nearby Scheck-In Centre (entrance from Kleinschmidtstraße), or a bit further away the P1 (entrance from Poststraße).
