Autumn 2025 Swing Dance Classes
A Fresh Approach to Growth
15 September to 12 December 2025 | 12 + 1 weeks of classes
Altrimenti Cultural Center – salle Rheinsheim – Luxembourg City
Registrations will open on 8 August at 19h00
Dear dancers,
This fall, we’re excited to introduce a new and intentional structure for swing dance learning at Altrimenti. After years of building a joyful, committed community, we are moving away from short-term, step-based instruction toward a deeper, skill-based and role-focused journey.
A Shift in Learning Philosophy
Our new approach supports meaningful, long-term growth. Rather than advancing quickly through levels or learning both roles at once (ELEF), dancers now begin by focusing on one role (leader or follower) to build strong foundations.
We believe that mastering one role first creates a solid base for creativity, musicality, and improvisation. Only after gaining experience and confidence in your primary role do we encourage students to explore the second role in a dedicated setting.
Each level is designed to span at least one year (two terms), giving dancers time to embody essential skills before advancing.
What We Emphasize in Every Class
💬 Connection & Communication
🎵 Musicality & Rhythm
🧠 Whole-body Awareness
🎭 Expression & Cultural Context
Whether in solo or partner classes, our goal is to guide students into a deeper, more integrated understanding of swing and jazz dance.
Class Overview
Lindy Hop
Within a partnered dance, progress in a single role through Essentials and Progression levels, then dive deeper into creativity and expression — including the new B-role requirement for those heading toward Expression level.
Solo Jazz
Develop rhythm, individuality, and improvisation while honoring jazz roots.
Blues
Connect through groove, subtlety, and musical richness in partnered movement.
New: B-role Lindy Hop Focus Class
Wednesdays at 20:00
This class is for dancers ready to explore their second role in a structured, focused environment. It’s a space for building versatility, developing partner awareness, and enriching your overall dance expression – not for beginners, but for those ready to take the next step.
❗Note: Exploring your B-role in this class is now a prerequisite for entering the Expression level in Lindy Hop. We believe that true freedom in expression requires a holistic grasp of both roles.
🌍 13th Week – bonus week for our students : Roots and Rhythm Week with Vassia Panagiotou
Dive deeper into the roots of dance!
To wrap up our term, we’re thrilled to offer a special 13th bonus week – a Roots and Rhythm Week with the amazing Vassia Panagiotou!
🗓️ Classes will take place on the same weekdays as usual (except Monday), and each session will be a 2.5-hour workshop combining dance and cultural context, tailored to the level of that day’s group.
💃 Expect stories, rhythms, and movement—all connected to the roots and spirit of the dances we love.
👉 Monday students are warmly invited to join the Thursday session instead.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to expand your perspective, dance a little differently, and celebrate the end of term together!
✨Jazz Treasures
A great way to challenge yourself, try something new, or deepen your understanding of swing dance culture.

Choosing Your Level
All dancers are encouraged to self-assess honestly and choose a class where they can grow comfortably and confidently. Each level is designed for at least two terms of development, with progression based on readiness, not speed.
If you’re unsure which class suits you best, our teaching team is happy to guide you.
