This is where it all begins: Our Beginner’s Courses are ideal for anyone who likes to dance or wants to like dancing. Beginner 1 is the very first Course to get you started – no prior dancing experience needed whatsoever. Ready when you are.
Our Beginner 1 Course helps you to develop an understanding of the fundamentals of swing dancing while showing you how much fun it can be to move your body to music. You’ll quickly discover that the basics are actually rather simple to acquire. All it really takes is some consistent practice – the rest will follow naturally.
Join us for a 4-Session programme on Monday evenings from 8 p.m. to 9.15 p.m at the sports hall of the Ferrarischule, Weinhartstraße 4, 6020 Innsbruck.
Note: This course is part 1 of a 2-part series. We recommend taking Beginner 2 afterwards before moving on to more advanced courses.

The Location
The sports halls of the Ferrarischule Innsbruck, inhabited by the school’s pubescent students by day and by slightly more mature people who like to dance by night, is the ideal spot to learn swing dancing. Why you ask? Because we say so. You can find it at the Weinhartstraße 4, close to the bus and tram station ”Innsbruck Sillpark” as well as the tram stop “Innsbruck Brunecker Straße/BFI”. When approaching the building walk down the ramp on the left-hand side, as the sport halls are below surface level.
FAQ
Of course, lots of people do that. Since swing dancing is a social dance, you'll be dancing with different people in our classes anyway.
Certainly! Every Tuesday, our free Lindy Forum takes place at the Kulturbackstube "Die Bäckerei." From 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., we host a "Beginner Taster" for anyone who is interested. Just come by and take a relaxed look around.
Our regular courses all take place in the gym of the Ferrarischule (Weinhartstr. 4). The location of events can be found on the respective subpage.
The term 'swing' refers to a style of jazz music and dance from the 1920s and 1940s. Our speciality is the most famous of all swing dances, the Lindy Hop. We mostly teach Lindy Hop in all Beginner, Improver and Intermediate courses. However, we also regularly offer specialised classes in Charleston and Solo Jazz. The creators of early swing music and the swing dance of the lindy hop era, who we look at for inspiration, were Black people. As contemporary dancers in the swing dance community we should acknowledge the fact that many of us are guests in a culture created by these people 100 years ago.
Of course! Our teachers place great importance on ensuring that beginner courses are designed so that everyone can keep up, and they will support you with their expertise whenever you need help.
