Classes and Workshops – Key Town Swing At Key Town Swing we offer weekly classes and workshops in a variety of different Vintage Swing dance styles.

Registrations for our next block are open! As always, we have a bunch of taster classes to introduce you to all the dance styles Key Town Swing has on offer:

Monday 20 May 19:30 Solo Jazz
Tuesday 21 May 19:30 Lindy Hop
Wednesday 22 May 19:00 Boogie Woogie
Wednesday 23 May 20:15 Blues
Thursday 24 May 19:30 Collegiate S**g

This block we have a whopping ten courses for you! Four levels of Lindy Hop, three levels of Collegiate S**g, a level of Solo Jazz, a level of Boogie Woogie and a level of Blues. This last one is special, as it will be our first venture into teaching ELEF classes: Everybody Leads, Everybody Follows. Meaning you will not only be changing partners throughout class, but also switch roles!
More information on our website keytownswing.nl

All classes take place at our studio, Boshuizerkade 119. Taster classes are €5 (cash or Tikkie). You don't need a partner for any of the classes, though it helps to keep them balanced. There's no need to sign up, but marking yourself as interested or going does help the algorithm ;)

See you on the dance floor!

Still thinking about taking classes? Don't wait too long: all courses are starting this week!
Monday: S**g 1 and Lindy 3
Tuesday: Lindy 1 and Lindy 2
Wednesday: Blues 1 and Blues 2
Thursday: S**g 2 and S**g 3

And with the second Sunday of the month coming up, it's time for Hot Cup o' Jazz! This time with a Collegiate S**g taster class, so if you've missed that first class, you can still catch up ;)

Ho Ho Ho! 🎅🎄
As Christmas is getting closer, we are once again getting ready for a Jingle Bell Hop! A full night of music filled with holiday cheer, to make all you Lindy Hoppers, Bluesers, S**ggies and Charlestonistas warm and jolly 🦌
And as many Christmas songs are sweet and elegant, what better than a Dips & Tricks class to start the night with? Mainly aimed at Lindy Hoppers, but all these moves will be suitable for Blues and S**g dancers as well!

20:00 Dips & Tricks Class
21:00 Social Dancing
1:00 Last song

Key Town Swing Studio, Boshuizerkade 119 Leiden.
This social is €5 (cash or Tikkie) which includes the class. No need to sign up, or to bring a partner for the class, though this always helps to balance the group.

Wow..! Our Collegiate S**g Basics video reached 30k views 🤩 We've had some really nice comments both under the video and through private messages, and decided to add proper subtitles to the video, making it more accessible.

At our upcoming Spoonful with the Wiseflower Blues Trio, we've got a special treat for you all! Before the band takes the stage, we have Lotte and Wouter coming in to teach the beginners taster class and a CHICAGO TRIPLE STEP class for everyone!

🎵 The Chicago Triple Step is a Blues style variation - or idiom - that people started dancing in the 1950's. It works really well with the typical shuffle of Electric Chicago Blues music, and will be a perfect addition to our more usual Jookin' and Ballroomin' Blues dancing!

Lotte and Wouter are Dutch Blues dancers, but travel around to nearly every Blues festival in Europe and beyond. Often found teaching, MC'ing, DJ'ing, and dancing till the wee wee hours, we are happy to have Lotte and Wouter bringing their energy and passion for the Blues to Leiden 😍
