Lindy Hop
Lindy Hop is a swinging, energetic African-American dance that originated in New York in the late 1920s. It is danced to jazz and big band music by greats such as Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and many others. Lindy Hop combines improvisation with fixed patterns, solo work, and partner work.
The name comes from Charles Lindbergh, who crossed the Atlantic Ocean solo in 1927. The newspaper headline read: “Lucky Lindy hops Atlantic”. Later, the dance was adopted by the white population as Jitterbug and laid the foundation for Rock and Roll and Boogie Woogie, among others.
About us
We are the board of Jugtown Swing, the happiest dance school in 013! Our dance school originated from The Swing Shakers. We would like to put Lindy Hop and swing dancing further on the map in Tilburg and the surrounding area through dance classes, workshops, and socials.
Feel free to stop by and get to know Lindy Hop, the dancers, and us!

Why private lessons?
Choose which dance you want to learn (Lindy Hop, Blues, Boogie Woogie, Collegiate Shag). We focus on the technique and figures that suit your style. You learn not only by watching, but also by dancing together for an optimal experience. You determine the direction of the lesson – you will always learn what you enjoy!
The private lessons are given by Anouk Martens on behalf of The Swing Shakers, who can perfectly explain both the lead and follow roles.
