Don’t miss out on the chance to celebrate at one of the biggest Swing Event in Berlin. Save the date and see you on the dance floor!
Lindy Hop Intermediate: Designed for dancers who have been dancing for 1-2 years, you should feel comfortable with basic moves like the Swing-Out, Circle, and Pass-By. You will be challenged to improve your dancing skills and take your dancing to the next level.
Level Int/Adv +: This class is perfect for advanced dancers who have been dancing for more than 2.5 years. You are conforable improvising with your footwork while dancing to faster tempo with Lindy and Charleston.
Shag Intermediate: This class is designed for dancers who have already danced Shag for a few months and are ready to learn new movements and variations. Faster tempos won’t be a problem for you and you’re ready to take on more challenging material.
Solo Jazz (Open): Join our open Solo Jazz class, open to everyone. Although it is open to all levels, we recommend that you have some experience in Swing dances before joining the class. This class will provide an opportunity to learn and explore the fun and exciting world of Solo Jazz.

Zoey is gonna offer us during the week-end two amazing tours in Berlin. We only have limited spots for it! Please register yourself here (only for Full & Party Pass participants): here.
Never or always been to and in Berlin, it doesn’t matter, this tour will make you see Berlin in a new light.
I’ll give you a brief Intro to Berlins history, along some hidden gems and obvious sights.
Maybe future world heritage, walls, mummies, the oldest trademark, urban gardening, birthplaces, dancing, sightseeing all this and more within two to three hours. It depends on your speed 😉
I will have a little Bluetooth speaker with me in case you want to dance and post an Instagram Story 😉
Starting point: Subway Station „Klosterstraße“
Potential Endpoint: Clärchens Ballhaus
Schedule: Saturday 11/06 – Meeting at 4PM! (2-3hr)
If you want to know if it was “dance” or “tear” down this wall and which wall, join us for this tour.
Recently, the Cold War doesn’t seem too distant anymore. Funny enough, to have certain history not repeat itself, we should put some (hi)stories on repeat.
In this 3hr tour you will get to know Berlin iron curtain sights: Checkpoint Charlie, John Runnings the Canadian wall walker, Brandenburger Gate, Berlin Wall Memorial and more. The historical stories will be mixed with personal stories of my own and my families experiences.
Starting point: Checkpoint Charlie
Potential Endpoint: Berlin Wall Memorial
Schedule: Sunday 12/06 – Meeting at 12PM! (3hr)
Attention: You should have a public transport ticket with you, we need to use the train once at one point to fast forward 😉
We won’t spam you :)
