Curious about Lindy Hop and Authentic Jazz? Or, do you need a refresher? Team Jazz Break has got your back! This workshop is the perfect opportunity for absolute beginners to get a taste of the dance and warm up for an energetic party! Bring your friends, or come meet new ones, and dance all the way! No partner required.
You love Solo Jazz and have been dancing for at least 2 years. You have a broad Solo Jazz vocabulary and are confident doing variations on these basic steps. You know at least some classic routines such as the Shim Sham, the Tranky Doo, the Big Apple or the Trickeration by heart. You start improvising and developing your own style, but feel that it’s not easy.
In this track, you will have three Solo Jazz workshops: one with Ari, one with Simon, and one with both! If you also wish to do some couple dancing, you may combine this track with the special topic class on Saturday evening.
You have been Swing dancing for at least one year. You are at ease with basic Lindy Hop figures such as the Circle, Tuck Turn, Send out, Swing out and more. You have some basic, but solid Solo Jazz vocabulary. You can comfortably dance to slow and mid-tempo songs, but you might struggle with fast tempo. You have some understanding of Swing music and musicality. Yet it is challenging for you to focus on the music and musicality while dancing.
In this track, you will have two Lindy Hop workshops as well as one Solo Jazz workshop. You can combine your track with the Solo Jazz workshop with Ari and Simon on Saturday!
You have been Swing dancing for at least 3 years and feel comfortable in Lindy Hop, Solo Jazz and Charleston. You live on the dance floor: you social dance as often as possible, you are travelling to international festivals, you may already be teaching (occasional) beginner classes in your local scene. You listen to Swing music whenever you can, you work on your musicality, you try to adapt your dancing to the style of the music, you risk to play with rhythms and syncopation, you work on your own personal styling. You like to work on your technique and connection with your dance partner. You’re ready for a challenge!
In this track, you will have two Lindy Hop workshops as well as one Solo Jazz workshop. You can combine your track with the Solo Jazz workshop with Ari and Simon on Saturday!

Ari and Simon are swing dance teachers, performers and choreographers. Primarily focused on Lindy Hop and Authentic Jazz. They are passionate about these dance forms, especially in the context of their cultural traditions, their values and their place as an artform.
Working together since 2016, they are now based in Madrid working globally as well as growing their online platform through Patreon.
They are an energetic and rhythmical couple who love the interplay between the individual, the music and the partner during a dance and how it can develop into a beautiful conversation.
They hold titles from the International Lindy Hop Championships, The Savoy Cup and The Korean Lindy Hop Championships, among others. Their passion for the dance and the culture of swing has grown with them and is something they constantly strive to develop and express, whether in classes, on stage or in competition.

Meet Swing Kitchen, a Ghent-based band that mixes traditional ingredients in its own unique way! They serve up powerful vocals on a bed of driving rhythm and crazy piano jumps, seasoned with popping sax lines and a pinch of humor. You'll discover famous tunes in fresh arrangements and forgotten gems. The energy they bring will have everyone dancing and tapping their feet uncontrollably! Enjoy the stew of classics and forgotten vegetables they serve up!

This quartet was first put together in early 2025, and since then they kept swinging hard, bringing their unique energy to the Luxembourgish scene.
