Tea Time Swing & Cinema
Dancing, pizza, jazz – your new Sunday ritual
Sunday, October 11, 2026
Every second Sunday of the month, our popular Tea Time Swing is expanded into an experience for feet, head and stomach: First we dance together at the Tea Time Swing, then we order pizza together and watch a masterpiece of music history: the documentary "Jazz" by Ken Burns.
Where it all began: A journey to the roots of swing
This monumental documentary takes us to New Orleans, to the clubs and streets where it all began – and connects us even more deeply to the African American roots of our music and swing culture. A perfect way to end the week! Check out the trailer!

"I can't dance" - Right here!
Do you think, "Everyone else can do this, but I can't"? We understand! That's why every one of our parties starts with a crash course for you and other newbies. Here, you'll learn a few basics in 30 minutes, completely unpressured and with a lot of humor. After the crash course, you can join in the dancing or just watch – whatever you feel comfortable with. Come along, with or without a partner.
