Important update on classes

Dear (future) dancer,

Tuesday 10 March we had to make a particularly difficult decision. On Monday 9 March, the Dutch government issued new advice which amongst other things indicated that shaking hands would not be recommendable given the spread of the corona virus. It is important to assess the feasibility of dance classes in which participants hold each other’s hands and are generally very close to one another.

This means we now need to take responsibility for our community’s health and well-being and cancel our weekly classes and workshops for the foreseeable future (this does not include Slowfeet Festival in June). The Slow Bal courses planned for April will also be postponed.

Obviously, we really hope that we can send a message soon for our classes to be resumed, because we want to dance with you again as soon as possible. In the mean time, we will work on a way to keep you inspired in slow dancing!

UPDATE 27-3-2020:
Unfortunately the situation will last a bit longer. A new round of classes will start in September. Slowfeet Festival has been cancelled.

Weekly classes

Regular classes start again in September.
Please check our message above, which we will keep updated. If you click to register, we will place you our contact list and we’ll inform you as soon as classes will be resumed.

In the 10-week beginner course you will learn different versions of the basic steps, adding slides and extra steps to play with the music.
