First time? Just come along

You don't need a partner and you don't need any experience. Everyone started with their first Thursday.

  1. Arrive at 19:30

    Join the taster class – the 1st Thursday of the month is made especially for beginners.

  2. Bring the right shoes

    Dance shoes or clean indoor shoes with light soles, comfortable clothes – and a spare shirt, dancing is sweaty.

  3. Stay for the social

    From 20:00 the floor is open. Ask someone to dance, or just enjoy the music and watch for a while.
