Want to learn more?

Throughout the year Swing in Utrecht organizes different workshops. This could be a 3 hour workshop with a particular theme, such as aerials or six count moves, or it could be a whole weekend with guest teachers from abroad. Previously foreign teachers such as Peter & Naomi (US), Skye & Frida (US/SE), Mikey & Natalia (US/CO) and teachers from Swingstep in Heidelberg came to Utrecht. Keep a close eye on this website for updates or follow our Facebook page.

A social dance event for lindy hoppers of all levels, every Wednesday at De Kargadoor. It is the ultimate chance to put your newly learned moves and techniques into practice and dance your ass off. Order yourself a drink and enjoy the music of our DJs. The drop-in class takes place before the social dance, from 19:40 to 20:30 hrs. You don't have to register, just show up on time!

Because of the availability of the venues and volunteers, the place/time of any fixed event might change, or it might even be cancelled. Please check the Facebook page or the lindyhop.nl agenda for the latest info.

Generally HopSpots are 7 euro's for social + beginner workshop and 5 euro's for just the social, but prices may vary depending on the type of HopSpot. You can pay at the door, there's no registration system.

Monthly

HOPSPOT LIVE + INTERMEDIATE DROP-IN workshop

Every first half of the month on a Friday Swing in Utrecht presents HopSpot Live! Similar to a HopSpot, but every month with a different live band. Show what you've learned to people all over the country or enjoy the music and dancing from the sidelines while you get back the energy to race onto that dancefloor again. The drop-in class takes place before the social dance from 19:30 to 20:30 and is for dancers who know just a bit of the basics. You don't have to register, just show up on time!

Because of the availability of the venues and volunteers, the place/time of any fixed event might change, or it might even be cancelled. Please check the Facebook page or the lindyhop.nl agenda for the latest info.

Tea dance (Free entrance)

We're having Tea Dance on the 24th of September 2023 (16:00 - 19:00 at De Kweekvijver, free entrance), but we don't have a regular schedule. This information might be out of date. 

Every now and again on a Sunday here is a tea dance. This event is organized by inventive dancers that are looking to practice more. Are you looking for the same? Or do you just want to try out moves without interrupting others at a social dance? Or do you just want to chill out and socialize with your fellow hoppers? Then do check our website and Facebook page for this monthly event.

Swingdom

Each year in September/October our one and only Lindy Hop festival takes place in our picturesque city with its canals and of course the Dom tower (hence the name SwingDom). You can expect a wonderful long weekend with international teachers teaching at a variety of levels and a variety of dance styles, special events around the city and the very best live bands! 

SwingDom also has its own website where you can find even more updates.
