Is  This  for  me?

How  Does  it Work?

Do you dance vernacular jazz or swing dances like lindy hop, balboa, or authentic jazz?
Do you feel like you could use a big studio space and the help of fellow dancers to work on things you have learned in classes or in workshops?
Do you want to challenge yourself in a supportive environment?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, this is for you!
​
Dancers of all cities, and all levels (whether you had one lesson, or dance for more than three years) are welcome to join. 
​
Make sure you take a look at our "Practice 101" page!

20:00 Doors open - bring yourself and your dance shoes! No partner needed, you will meet people there!
20:15 Drill session by local teachers. This is not a class in itself, but a series of exercises on a theme. A part is all-levels, another is for dancers who dance more than a year.
20:45 Continue practicing what you want, or the exercises you were just given. People will be there to guide you!
21:45 Time for the fast tempo half hour! 
22:15 The music goes on until the end. Sometimes we have (dance) games. We always have good tunes and good company.

​All this awesomeness is available to you for 5 Euros (at the door, in cash). This money is used to pay for renting the room, and compensate teachers.
