Tea Time Swing & Kino
Tanzen, Pizza, Jazz – dein neues Sonntagsritual
Sunday, March 8, 2026 4:30 PM
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 order pizza together and watch a masterpiece of music history: the documentary "Jazz" by Ken Burns.
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!

Become part of our party crew
What makes our parties so special? You're not just a guest, you're part of the community! Our dance nights thrive on people who pitch in – on and behind the dance floor.
As a crew member, you'll gain exciting behind-the-scenes insights and become an active part of our community. The presentations are short (approximately 30 minutes) and can easily be incorporated into your evening.
As a thank you, you can expect various goodies such as reduced admission fees, small surprises and exclusive special events for crew members.
Check out the volunteer tool and take on an important task! This keeps costs down and makes our events accessible to everyone.
"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.
Get in, dance & connect!
During the colder months, we dance indoors either on the 2nd Sunday of the month for Tea Time Swing or on the last weekend of the month on a Friday or Saturday evening.
