Tasters
Solo Jazz
Lisa Minder is well known for her groovy moves and stylings. Learn some of them in her class and shine at the party!
Friday 20h-21h at Bimano (included in the party ticket)
About Lisa: Since she fell in love with Lindy Hop and Charleston about fifteen years ago, dancing and traveling to many international workshops became an important part of Lisa’s life. She enjoys the variety of the dance and expands her passion with other styles like Salsa, Afro dances and Hip Hop/Locking. Lisa has been teaching Lindy Hop and Charleston for about twelve years. Beside partner-communication, creativity, improvisation and musicality, she wants to share the joy of dancing.
About the Taster: Learn a little fun routine with a mix of Funky, Latin and Charleston moves! Open for all levels, the basic is easy, then you can add a lot of stylings and improve the new grooves. I am very happy to put my 3 favourite dance styles into one choreo! Come to try how this funky-latin-charleston feels like!

Specials
Brunch
Start the (satur)day with a delicious brunch in good company. That’s the place to eat, relaxe and charge your batteries for a day full of dancing and adventures. Also you will get to know people beyond the dancefloor and maybe team up for the „Bernese Schnitzeljagd“ (Fox Trail) starting just after the brunch.
For a smooth organisation please register for the brunch beforehand by using the registration form or contact us per e-mail.
Saturday 11h-13h30 at Restaurant Du Nord
Bärn Trail
Discover the historic center of Bern in an unusual and funny way. You will follow the trail as a team (minimum 2 people, as much as it needs to swing-out 😉 ). Have a little city walk with playful challenges. The Coniglio Connection from St. Gallen will guide you to the final destination of the trail and invite for some swing-outs. Teams are built during brunch time or at 13h30 at the latest. No extra registration needed. Full pass and Saturday pass holders without Brunch are also welcome to join.
To speed up preparation time before starting, you can allready download the app called „actionbound“ on your smarphone (there is actually just one person per team who needs a smartphone with the app. No worries if you don’t have a phone with data connection).
Saturday, starting from 13h30 at Restaurant Du Nord
Swing out
Sunday afternoon is the perfect time to dance and chill (outside when sunshine). We bring the music: Lost in Swing from Lausanne.
