Description

You know the basics of lindy hop and you would like to have a different perspective? Why not try the other role? Dancing switch is not only a lot of fun, but will open up a lot more possibilites to dance with anybody. It also enhances your ability in your main role.

We will practice the basics in both roles and show you options to switch roles fluidly within a dance.

You should be comfortable in the basic step of one role, know some figures (e.g. tuck turn, change of place) and be ready to get confused about your feet 😉

Very nice feature to add to your dancing, makes it a lot more fun and interesting, while giving you a better understanding of the opposite role. Michelle and Gabriel demonstrated very well and gave us an easy and playful intro into switch-dancing.

It was really fun. Although we knew the figures generally already, experiencing them from the other side and introducing the switch figures was a very fun experience and I'm eager to try them out on the social floor.

Als Einstiegskurs super, vor allem wenn man keine Tanzerfahrung hat und auch keine Ahnung von Lindy Hop hat.

We have learned a lot of very cool figures and I have gained a lot of confidence in dancing freely - the beauty of lindy hop is that there are soo many possibilities for creativity and little chance that you will do something "wrong" :)

Gabriel und Michelle haben es super geschafft anspruchsvolle Figuren zu vermitteln und uns die Freude am Lindy weiterzugeben. Ich kann es auf jeden Fall empfehlen Lindy eine Chance zu geben!

I really enjoyed this course and found it very helpful for building a solid foundation. The lesson structure was excellent: warm-up, jazz elements, repetition, and then new material in a very logical progression. The solo exercises at the beginning were especially valuable, because they helped focus on rhythm, bounce, and musicality without overthinking direction or patterns. Michelle and Gabriel explained not only what to do, but also how movements should feel, often using very clear metaphors and preparatory exercises that made difficult concepts easier to understand. I also appreciated that the course was challenging in a motivating way: the material pushed us slightly beyond our comfort zone without becoming overwhelming. The group chat with videos was also a useful reminder of what we learned in class.
