Solo Drop-In
Grooves and Moves
Day & Time: Monday, 21:00 – 22:00
Dates: 19.09.2022 – 03.10.2022
Solo Jazz is a big part of Lindy Hop culture and history. It's a great way to work on your dancing independently - you get a better understanding of the basic rhythms of swing dancing, you improve your balance and gain more control of your weight shifts and body movements, and you learn steps that can be added as variations to your partnered Lindy Hop.
It's also a joyous and rich dance in its own right, and you can use it to jam out with friends at a social dance.
Topics in our Solo Drop-Ins can include:
- techniques for balance and rhythm
- polyrhythms, coordination, body isolations
- classic vernacular jazz steps and choreography
- improvisation and social solo dance
You can join drop-ins every week if you want, or only occasionally. The topic will vary from week to week.
This drop-in is intended for all levels of experience. It doesn’t require any prior Solo Jazz experience. If you’ve never done any Lindy Hop or other swing dance, it might be a bit challenging, but feel free to give it a try! If you have lots of Solo Jazz experience, don’t worry we will still find a challenge for you to dig into 🙂

All Info at Once
Our Studio in the Ringstraße
Ringstraße 19A
69115 Heidelberg
The building is at the intersection of Ringstraße with Hildastraße, our entrance is at the north-east corner, from the Ringstraße.
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”.
Parking: it can be a bit tricky to find parking spots, so you should plan in some extra time. There’s a little bit of free street parking available in the Ringstraße (with Parkscheibe), metred parking at Kaiserstr and Belfortstr (the metre is at Kaiserstr 60). 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).
Accessibility: our studio is wheelchair-accessible, but the elevator is in a locked area of the building. If you have any mobility issues please contact us in advance so that we can arrange access for you.
