Classes and Workshops

What are the possibilities at Key Town Swing?

At Key Town Swing we offer weekly classes and workshops in a variety of different Vintage Swing dance styles. Our main focus has always been Lindy Hop, with Charleston and Authentic Jazz (or Solo Jazz) added in weekly classes, and Collegiate Shag. Other dance styles like Blues and Boogie Woogie are offered from time to time as well.

Unless otherwise specified, all our weekly classes take place at our studio: Boshuizerkade 119 in Leiden.

If you want to seriously work on your technique one-on-one, or want help in creating your wedding dance, you might want to consider taking private classes with us. It is also possible to book us to teach a company workshop or group class, for instance for your bachelor(ette) party!

Visit our Contact page to ask us for more information.

Registrations for classes starting in September are now open!

At the moment we are offering four levels of Lindy Hop and three levels of Collegiate Shag.
