World of Swing: Boogie Woogie 1 Instructors: Marcus Koch & Bärbl Kaufer

Boogie Woogie is more than just a dance—it is a reflection of the exuberant spirit of the rockin’ fifties. Often compared to the US East Coast style, Boogie Woogie is distinguished by its richer, more intricate footwork and a deep emphasis on musical interpretation without fixed choreography.

In this comprehensive guide, world-class instructors Marcus and Bärbl—organizers of the world-famous Rock That Swing Festival—share their expertise to help you master this high-energy dance. Designed for dancers at all levels, the course simplifies complex moves into clear, actionable steps that capture the “cool attitude” and rhythmic excitement of the genre.

Course Highlights:

Foundational Mastery: Step-by-step breakdowns of the core mechanics, ideal for dancers with little to no prior experience.
Technique & Vocabulary: Expand your dance repertoire with unique moves that are highly regarded in the swing community.
Musical Interpretation: Learn how to “listen” to the music of the late 40s and 50s (Boogie Woogie, Rhythm n Blues, Rock n Roll) and respond with fluid, authentic footwork.
Professional Demonstrations: Every step is meticulously demonstrated, including a special bonus Jam session with Marcus & Bärbl and top dancers from the LA scene.
