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.

Course Descriptions

Lindy Hop Essentials
with Maria & Philip

In this course you will learn the basic skills of leading or following and improvising on a social dance floor. Already after the very first class you will be able to stay on the dance floor for the whole song moving together with your partner no matter the pace of the music.

We will learn the basic rhythms and shapes of Lindy Hop, get acquainted to the origins of Jazz dance and features of the Swing music. This level is great for absolute beginners to Jazz dance (and any dance).

You are also welcome to enroll in this course if you know a bit or quite some of Lindy Hop, but

still don’t feel comfortable improvising on the social dance floor,
find it challenging to make your dance more musical rather than technical,
find changing roles difficult.

Lindy Hop Essentials+
with Anna & Anton

This course is designed for dancers who have completed the Essentials level in Lindy Hop. In Essentials+, we continue developing core movement skills and musical understanding while building more confidence and fluidity on the social dance floor.

You’ll strengthen your ability to lead or follow with clarity, begin to play more with rhythm and variations, and learn how to respond more intuitively to your partner and the music. This is also the space where we start to explore more dynamic transitions and creative improvisation in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

Perfect for you if:

You’re comfortable with the basics and want to deepen your dancing in one role.
You want to build more flow, creativity, and musical responsiveness in your dance.
You’d like to revisit fundamentals with a new perspective before heading into Progression.

Essentials+ will help you solidify your foundation and prepare you for more challenging material ahead.

Lindy Hop Progression+
with Morgane, Alex & Eric

This course is for dancers who have solid experience in either the leader or follower role and want to take their dancing to the next level with more depth, nuance, and expression.

In Progression+, we’ll refine your technique, expand your movement vocabulary, and sharpen your ability to improvise with clarity and style. Through focused work on rhythm, musicality, and connection, you’ll begin to make the dance your own—while staying rooted in the authentic spirit of Lindy Hop.

This course is for you if:

You’re confident in your primary role and want to dance with more freedom and intention.
You’re ready to be challenged with more complex ideas in rhythm, communication, and styling.
You’re curious about the history, culture, and legacy that shape how we dance Lindy Hop today.

You’ll leave this class with stronger body awareness, deeper partner connection, and a more personal voice in your dancing—preparing you for advanced and expressive levels of swing dancing.

Lindy Hop B-role
with Danielle & Vassia

This course is designed for dancers who already feel confident in their primary role (leader or follower) and are ready to explore the other side of the partnership. The B-role class invites you to dive into your “other role” with curiosity, awareness, and an open mind.

Here, you’ll build new neural pathways, expand your perspective on partner dynamics, and grow your whole-body understanding of Lindy Hop. The aim isn’t just to switch roles, but to deepen your overall dance ability, increase empathy in partner work, and support role fluidity across the community.

This course is for you if:

You’ve completed at least two full years of classes in your first role.
You want to explore the other role in a structured, focused environment.
You’re eager to improve your connection, musicality, and overall dance clarity.

B-role is also a prerequisite for joining the Expression level, as it helps build the adaptability, understanding, and whole-body intelligence expected at advanced stages of Lindy Hop.

Whether your goal is to become a flexible switch dancer, a more grounded partner, or simply a more complete dancer, this class offers an essential step on that path.

Lindy Hop Expression
with Ingrida & Alexey

This course is for experienced dancers who want to refine their movement, musicality, and partner connection while deepening their understanding of Lindy Hop’s cultural roots.

You’ll explore improvisation, whole-body awareness, and storytelling through dance.
Regular social dancing, self-reflection, and completion of the B-role course are required to join.

**For the Lindy Hop Expression course you can register in one of three roles: Leader, Follower, or Switch. If you register as a switch, you’ll be able to choose your role (i.e. leader or follower) for each class individually. We assume that where there are large imbalances for a particular class, Switch dancers will balance out the class. To register as a switch dancer, please write “Switch” in the comment box of the registration form.

Solo Jazz Essentials
with Boris

In this course, you will take your first steps into the vibrant world of Solo Jazz dance. No prior dance experience is needed.

From the very first class, you’ll be moving to the rhythms, exploring fundamental steps and expressions that make Solo Jazz unique. This level is perfect for absolute beginners to Jazz dance (and any dance). You are also welcome to join if you have previously taken a Solo Jazz course but

want to reconnect after a long break
feel the need to strengthen and solidify your basic vocabulary before advancing.

Solo Jazz Progression
with Boris

This course is dedicated to taking your Solo Jazz to the next level. You’ll deepen your understanding of essential techniques and explore the artistry of improvisation, allowing you to dance with more confidence and creativity.

This course is great for you if you already feel comfortable with the basics of Solo Jazz and wish to

refine and elevate your technique
experiment with rhythm and movement in new ways
immerse yourself further in the rich culture and history of the Swing dance community.

Blues Essentials
with Terje & Sjouke

This class is perfect for those who want to discover the world of partnered blues dancing or deepen their blues basics. It’s tailored for individuals with one semester or less of blues dancing experience, including absolute beginners who are eager to learn. Join us if you want to learn how to dance to beautiful blues music.

In Blues Essentials, you will learn foundational techniques and stylish moves that will have you dancing with groove in no time. Our instructors will guide you through the essentials of partner connection and musical interpretation, setting a solid foundation for your blues dancing journey.
Come discover the joy of blues dancing and start your blues exploration with us!**

Blues Progression
with Terje & Sjouke

Sign up for Blues Progression, if you have been in our blues family for years or if you have some blues experience and want to join our lovely blues community.

This semester the focus will be on texture. Dancing is not just about stepping through a sequence of moves, but about how the movement feels. The dance can be sharp or smooth, fast or slow, subtle or powerful. Get ready to experiment with textures – from smooth and silky to sharp and gritty.

Step into Blues Progression to elevate your blues dancing skills and embrace the expressive world of blues music!

**For both blues dance courses you can register in one of three roles: Leader, Follower, or Switch. If you register as a switch, you’ll be able to choose your role (i.e. leader or follower) for each class individually. We assume that where there are large imbalances for a particular class, Switch dancers will balance out the class. To register as a switch dancer, please write “Switch” in the comment box of the registration form.
