What exactly is Swing Dance, and in particular, Lindy Hop?

Swing Dance is a lively and joyful dance genre that originated in the 1920s and 1930s in the afro-american community. It encompasses several dance styles, including Lindy Hop, which is one of the most popular. Lindy Hop is characterized by its playful improvisation, and the dynamic connection between partners, making it a dance full of energy and fun.

How can I register for a class?

To book a class, simply navigate to our website and find the ‘Register’ button located near the class schedule. Click on it and follow the prompts to complete your registration.

What’s the duration of a beginner class?

Our beginner courses, also known as Level A, span over a total of 10 weeks with one hour of instruction each week. In these classes, you’ll get a grasp of basic dance figures and vital aspects of musicality and body awareness, which will aid your development as a dancer. Regular attendance is beneficial as it allows us to get to know you and guide you better in your dance journey. And, of course, our classes are designed to be both educational and fun, as we’re all here to enjoy ourselves!

How long is a class for experienced dancers?

Experienced dancers have the option to book a single drop-in class or purchase a 4-class card. We encourage consistent attendance to enhance your dance skills, but you’re also welcome to drop-in whenever your schedule allows.

Do you host events as well?

Absolutely! Swing Base hosts a variety of events throughout the year. During summer, we organize outdoor dancing at Wilde Renate, known as Renate Swing, every Tuesday. Here, you can attend swing classes and enjoy outdoor concerts. We also host several special events like Knall auf Ball im Säälchen and the festive Christmas Ball at the French Institute. Make sure to check our events schedule regularly for updates!

REGISTRATION

Ready to bring more musicality, creativity, and playfulness into your Lindy Hop? You can join the workshop as a Lead or Follow. We’ll dance as a couple.

Join Clément for a special workshop  dedicated to exploring the music and discovering new ways to express yourself through dance. Over two hours, we will dive into the diversity of swing music, explore its different structures and rhythms, and learn how to play with musical phrasing.

From recognizing breaks, riffs, and accents to understanding how songs begin and end, this workshop will give you new tools to listen, interpret, and interact with the music. We will explore how different styles of swing music can inspire different feelings, movements, and ways of dancing.

We will work on ideas both as a couple and individually, giving Leaders and Followers the opportunity to play with the music on their own while also discovering how to share musical ideas with a partner.

Some ideas for our workshop:

  • Music Styles: Discovering the diversity of swing music and how different styles influence our dancing.

  • Swing Structures: Understanding musical phrasing and how songs are built.

  • Breaks: Recognizing and playing with pauses and unexpected moments in the music.

  • Riffs & Accents: Exploring musical details and finding playful ways to express them.

  • Beginning of a Song: Discovering ways to introduce and connect with the music from the very first notes.

  • Ending of a Song: Playing with musical endings and finding creative ways to finish your dance.

Whether you want to better understand swing music, become more playful in your dancing, or find new ways to express yourself, this workshop will expand your musical awareness and give you plenty of ideas to bring onto the dance floor.
