Course Descriptions
Lindy Hop Essentials
with Anna & Anton
Discover the joy of social dancing in this beginner-friendly Lindy Hop course. From your very first class, you will learn the foundations of leading or following, connect with a partner, and start improvising on the social dance floor. You’ll quickly gain the confidence to dance through an entire song, whatever the tempo.
Throughout the course, we will explore the basics of rhythms, movements, and techniques of Lindy Hop while discovering the rich history of Jazz dance and the vibrant music that gave birth to Swing. No previous dance experience is required—this course is designed for complete beginners and anyone curious to step into the world of Swing dancing.
This level is also a great fit if you already have some Lindy Hop experience but would like to strengthen your fundamentals, especially if you:
- don’t yet feel fully confident on the social dance floor,
- find switching between leading and following challenging,
- still feel your dance is more technical rather than musical
- want to feel more comfortable to start improvising on the social dancefloor

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 & Alex
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.

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.

To register as a switch dancer, please write “Switch” in the comment box of the registration form.

Blues Progression
with Terje & Sjouke

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.

To register as a switch dancer, please write “Switch” in the comment box of the registration form.
