Swing Dance

Swing Philosophy

Website

Swing dance is an umbrella term for several African-American jazz dances from the 1920’s – 40’s. Most popular ones are Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, Collegiate Shag and Solo Jazz. Swing dance is the best way to socialize, exercise and have fun at the same time!

Swing isn’t only a dance, it’s a way of life! Sharing endearing moments and showing your real face during a dance. Those who dare to embrace this way of life know the uplifting effect. Swing Philosophy aims to share that with as many folks as possible. They do that by offering weekly courses, parties (with live music) and workshops. All the classes can also be done as drop-ins! So you do not need to register, just drop in!

Rock ‘n Roll

At Gel you learn the real rock ‘n’ roll dancing from the fifties. The association (since 1984!) is known in Amsterdam and far out. Gel gives courses at different levels so that anyone can learn. After class there is a social dance where you can put your moves to practice or just have a drink. Each course period is concluded with a dazzling party in style with a live rock ‘n’roll band. Gel dances on Tuesday evenings, come and have a look!
