Lindy Hop Energizes Berlin

Recharge your energy in a thriving and lively dance and music culture with new friends!

Berlin is a great place for Lindy Hop. We have a multi-faceted culture where anyone can find a home. At SwingStep we’ve created a friendly and mindful atmosphere where you can have fun and focus on learning the dance.

We are full-time dedicated to the dance, its culture and community to make sure you have the best experience possible. Which even earned us the reputation of being the “fleissige Bienen” which translates to hardworking bees.

Learn Lindy Hop from beginner to advanced with us using our:

Drop-ins

Drop-ins are weekly classes that you can join at any time.

The classes are independent of each other, so it doesn’t matter which week you join or whether you skip a class.

You can come with or without a partner. The lead and follow balance depends on who shows up.

Courses

Courses consist of consecutive weekly classes; usually 6 weeks total.

The group stays together over the duration, and works on material that progresses week to week.

You can sign up with or without a partner and we will work to balance the groups.

Online Courses

The online program brings the course experience straight to you at home.

You can learn from these videos with or without a partner, and you can start any time you want.

In live sessions we train and listen to music together – also part of the online program.

Corona: Current Rules

To take part in any class, proof of 2G+ (Geimpft/Genesen – proof of vaccination / recovery + tested) is required.

  • We’ll be checking your 2G+ status in the hall just outside the studio – please wait there for the teacher to come out to you.
  • In addition, we will reintroduce the Schnelltests, and require that all students provide proof of a negative Bürgertest before class. Even with 2G there’s still a small risk of infection, and we want to do our best to reduce that even more, to do our part in preventing the numbers from getting higher and making everyone feel as safe as possible in class.
  • Geimpft (vaccinated): you must provide proof of full vaccination protection; at least 14 days must have passed since the last required single vaccination.
  • Genesen (recovered): we require proof of a positive PCR test that was performed at least 28 days and at most six months ago. After the six months, those who have recovered need proof of a single vaccination that was at least 14 days ago.
  • Of course we want to keep things as simple as we can, so: once you show us your proof of vaccination or recovery, we’ll make a note of that so you don’t need to show it every week.

We are happy to say that we can continue allowing partner change in classes. However, please be aware that this might change; we’ll update you if this becomes necessary.

Although at the moment the rules do not require us to limit the number of participants, we have decided to keep classes a bit smaller. This way we can offer you a learning environment that feels safe for us and for you. For that reason we’ll still limit the number of dancers we accept for our classes.

Hygiene regulations of course also apply. People with Covid-19 symptoms, or who have been in contact with someone with Covid-19, are not allowed to attend class. Our hand washing station is there for you when you enter the studio as usual. We’ll keep the windows open during class to ensure air flow.
Please make sure to wear a mask in the hallway and when using the bathroom. You can take it off as soon as you reach your dance area. While dancing you don’t have to wear a mask.

In case of an infection, so that the chain of possible further infections can be traced properly, we will use the contact information we have from each participant’s subscription info. Please keep it up to date and accurate; go to your Account Page to make any changes.

When you sign up and participate in our classes, you do this at your own risk. We’ll do all we can to make it as safe as possible, but of course we cannot make any guarantee. By participating, you acknowledge that you’re aware of the risk and that SwingStep GmbH can’t be held responsible for possible infections.
You also promise that you will follow our hygiene rules, to protect yourself and others.
