General information

  • Classes are either held in Spegelsalen (Pontusbadet) or Stadsöskolans Aula. Location is stated for each course.
  • All Solo Jazz courses (Old-School Solo Jazz / Jazz It Up At Lunch) offers you to try the first time for free if you have not taken classes with us before, but please register before.
  • All classes will be held in Swedish and/or English if there is a need for that.
  • Sign up for parallell classes (during the same weeks) and receive 25% discount on the cheaper class/classes!
  • ​For all Lindy Hop courses: you can sign up both as an individual and as a couple. We have a waiting list in case of an imbalance between followers and leaders. If you sign up as a couple (still switching/rotating partners during class) you will get in to the course no matter the waiting list. So if you end up on the waiting list you can either look for a partner to sign up with or wait for more people to sign up to even out the imbalance. Or, you can take the course as a leader if the followers waiting list is long. We normally switch/rotate partners during the class.
  • We are a HBTQIA+ friendly organization and we welcome each and every one no matter whom you are or where you're from.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

​Old-School Solo Jazz, all levels

​This is our most popular dance class and it is built to accommodate both total beginners up to dancers with many years of experience - basically from beginners to professionals. Old-school Solo Jazz emerged from the African American dance tradition in the 1920's-1940's Harlem (New York) and we will mostly dance to big band swing music. You will dance solo but yet at the same time together in a group with many other dancers. We will challenge everyone at their individual level. ​

Solo Jazz at Lunch, ​all levels

A 45 minute long solo dance class that makes you feel joyful and energized! We dance to swing-jazz music, focusing on rhythms, self expression, to let go and to dare to extend movements. Let loose at lunch-time! No previous experience needed. We will challenge everyone at their individual level. ​Professional teachers with experience from teaching on an international level since 30 years.

This course can be combined with the Old-school Solo Jazz class on Tuesday evenings, at a discounted price, if you want to get moving and grooving twice a week. Both groups will work on similar material.

​LINDY HOP Fundamentals: Fast Dancing, Kicks & Charleston

This course is suitable both for those who never danced Lindy Hop before but have experience from other dances or are quick learners, but also suitable for you who've danced for about one-two years. This course has four different starting positions - meaning that you can take this course at least four semesters without learning the same material. This time the focus is on fast dancing, different kick-steps and Charleston. After four semesters you can either stay for more semesters to get a solid foundation or, if your dancing feels fluent, move on to Lindy Hop Advanced. We will do our best to challenge you at your own individual level.​

LINDY HOP Advanced

To be able to follow this course you should know 6-counts (both Triple Steps and Jig Walks), 8-counts and also Charleston and you have already danced Lindy Hop for a few years. We always recommend to take the Lindy Hop Fundamental course up to four semesters so your basics are solid. In this course we will work with experimenting with your solid basics, challenging you with new rhythms and work on the whole range of tempos from really slow to pretty fast.​

TAP for Beginners

No previous experience needed for this solo rhythm dance! No tap shoes - just bring hard soled shoes, preferrably with a leather sole (please avoid rubber/sticky soles). We will go through tap exercises and put together simple patterns which you can practice at home in between the classes.
