Meanwhile ------Every Sunday we have a selection of upbeat swing tunes (Big Band, Gypsy Jazz, etc.) for those who love vintage jazz, whether just to lay back and listen or to let those happy feet loose on the dance floor.


Swing Dance is a partnered social dance originated in Harlem, New York (USA) and was especially popular throughout the 1920s-1950s. It's a partnered social dance based on leading and following, and danced to jazz music from the same era (mainly Big Band swing). It's a very fun and diverse dance, including many elements combined in a free improvisational manner.


Today many swing dancers all around the world enjoy dancing various styles, including Charleston, Lindy Hop, Shag, Balboa and a few others. On Tuesdays the BRICKS hosts Lindy Hop classes and party, and now on Sundays we introduce another swing style called BALBOA. Balboa is a type of Swing dance, originated in Southern California during the 1920s and 1930s and gained in popularity in the 1930s and 1940s. It is danced primarily in close embrace to upbeat swing music. This dance is fully improvisational and can be quite energetic yet elegant.
