The Lindy Hop, originally known as the Jitterbug in Europe, is an energetic and fun partner dance. The main goal of the dance is to master improvising moves on the fly with changing dance partners.
Lindy Hop is danced at parties and other social occasions, and the perhaps most memorable moves are the acrobatic jumps in the air, named “aerials”.
Our beginners course in Lindy Hop is named “Swing 1” and is tailored towards creating a great first experience for complete beginners of all ages – and you don’t even need to sign up with a partner.

They are all based in Europe, and they all have options for women and men.
For women: We recommend completely flat or low heel (max 3-4cm) shoes, especially in the first year of dancing.
Social dance & hang out with your dance friends during Midweek Social every Wednesday from 20.15-22.30. It’s free and open for everyone!
We have collected some of our favorite swing songs, which are good for practicing, and we put them together in a Spotify playlist
