BEGINNERS LINDY HOP DROP-IN CLASS 18:30-19:20

The evening starts with a short taster class in Lindy Hop aka jitterbug , an African American couple swing dance from the ’30s Harlem, NY. This class is targeted at adults BUT teens that are OK taking classes with adults are also welcome to join.
Just come and join us, no partner and no registration needed.
This class is taught in English as there is always lots of tourists joining

This course is aimed at adults, but teenagers who dare are welcome to participate.

BALBOA DROP-IN CLASS 17:30-18:20

When you dance Balboa, it’s like being transported to a world where you and your partner are suspended in a timeless embrace, moving as one to the enchanting jazz melodies. The dance floor becomes a sanctuary of effortless communication, regardless of the tempo’s speed or the music’s complexity. Balboa enables you to effortlessly interpret the rhythms, playful riffs, and melodic variations, creating a captivating performance that blends seamlessly with the music.

Sounds hard? We promise we’ll make it easy!
