… it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing!...
Dear Rotaractors and Guests,
We have a very special treat for you! Michaela and Tom are giving us a fun filled introductory course to swing dance.
No skills (music or dance wise) required, be surprised how addictive this high energy dance can be!
How does it look?

Is it complicated? No! Most of what you see in this video actually relies on a few basic steps (some of which you are going to learn), the rest is improvised on the spot.
What if I am not creative enough to improvise? From experience the first source of improvisation is making mistakes :) , then comes your partner and lastly the music.
The variety they are going to teach us is Lindy Hop: one of the earliest forms of swing dance, which still has a very large Swiss and worldwide community. Where is the magic? The team-work, improvisation and the beat!
What do I need? 4 things:
- A bottle of water
- A replacement t-shirt/clothes (trust me, you are going to need it)
- Comfortable shoes with a somewhat slippery sole (Ladies: no heels please, Lindy Hop is by far easier with flat soles!)
- Because the room is not for free, you will need to pay an entrance fee of CHF 5 per person
In order to be more relaxed and confident for dancing, we will also sell cups of the Rotary wine. One cup will be CHF 5. So be ready also to drink for a good cause :)
The event is limited to 20 people, so please sign up in the Doodle and let us know if you cannot make it, so that other people can take the spot.
Sincerely
Tom
Costs: CHF 5 entrance fee + (optionally) wine at CHF 5 per cup
