Hochschulsport Swing
Hello!
In the winter semester 2024/25, we are offering dance classes as part of the University of Rostock’s sports program. We are offering two courses, which will take place from October 17, 2024, to January 30, 2025, every Thursday at Pi13 (Beim Pingelshof 13 – 18146 Rostock). Don’t miss out on this opportunity to improve your dance skills, have fun, and meet new people!
SOLO JAZZ | 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
„Solo Jazz“ is a free and creative dance style with roots in traditional jazz from the 1920s and 1930s. Without a fixed partner, Solo Jazz offers the opportunity to express yourself individually to the music, with flowing movements, quick step combinations, and improvisation. We will learn steps and choreographies from Solo Charleston (1920s), Solo Jazz (1930s), Solo Blues, and Electro Swing. Wear comfortable shoes and bring your good mood to the dance floor.

SWING DANCE | 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
In this course, you will be guided by experienced instructors from the Swing Connection Rostock e.V. and learn famous swing dances such as the Charleston, Lindy Hop, and Solo Jazz. You will learn body posture, leading and following techniques, footwork variations, as well as typical dance choreographies. We will also explore the cultural backgrounds and history of the swing era. Our goal is to create an inspiring and entertaining atmosphere where you can forget your everyday worries and make new friends.
„I’ve never seen a Lindy Hopper who wasn’t smiling. It’s a happy dance. It makes you feel good.“
