If you are new and have never danced swing, we recommend you to start with the Lindy hop as it is our prime dance style and we can offer you the most options here. For sure, choose the LH 1.1 which is the basic course in Lindy hop. If you found yourself liking the other swing dance styles more, of course you can choose those, just remember, the 1.1 is the beginners course so it would be CH 1.1 (for Charleston), BAL 1.1 (for Balboa), CS 1.1 (for Collegiate Shag) and SLS 1.1 (for St.Louis Shag). Later on, try to follow the numerical progression and don’t skip courses. We recommend starting with 1.1 even though you may be an experienced dancer in other dances (salsa, tango, ballroom etc.)

You have selected a course and you want to register. Just go to the Registration section, click on the course you want to attend and sign up. If you register in a couple, fill both of you in the form, then you’re both registered and there’s no need for your partner to fill another form. If you register on your own you might end up on the waiting list until someone signs up for the opposite role, so wait for your confirmation e-mail before you pay. This doesn’t apply to solo and ELEF courses (= everybody leads, everybody follows), where you don’t need to choose a dance role.

It is always necessary to register in advance for regular lessons. The good news is that you can register without a partner, but follows tend to have a better chances of getting into a course with a pre-arranged partner. And what can you expect at the lesson? During the lessons we rotate partners. This means that partners who come together not necessarily dance together during the class but rotate around different dance partners. Not only are the lessons very sociable, but also students learn more. Couple cooperation is the most important thing in swing. Therefore, our goal is to teach our students to communicate their ideas to anyone, and this is best done through rotation. The more dances you dance with different people, the more experience you will gain and the better dancer you will become. However, we will not force anyone to rotate. If you do not want to rotate, let the teachers know and you can skip the rotation.

Something comfortable – dress, skirt, pants, jeans, tracksuit, shirt, retro, vintage… it’s up to you. Swing is not a formal dance, so you do not have to wear a suit or an evening dress, but do if you like it. In all dance halls you have to put on dance shoes, we recommend shoes without heels for ladies, generally sneakers with white sole. The important thing is to feel comfortable. Good hygiene, sobriety and tolerance are a given.
