For me, my Leroc nights are pure joy: the moves are intuitive and easy to learn (basically anything goes that feels good), the music we dance to is fun and varied, the people are always welcoming and happy to dance with anybody, Eric and Carmen are the best and incredibly patient teachers, and last but not least I love the real connection with real people created through dancing. I am so glad I found this group!

I joined the Leroc classes last summer, dancing in the park. The instructors are very welcoming, creating a space for anyone to jump in and learn, even beginners. There are no intricate steps to master, rather it is a flow of feeling what your partner is giving you and responding (speaking as a follower). I’ve always enjoyed myself and love the chance to dance with friendly participants.

Carmen and Eric are some of the very best instructors around.

Carmen and Eric are some of the very best instructors around. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Smooth Partner Dancing course to anyone who would like to really learn how to lead and follow properly, without needing to remember steps or figures, regardless of dance style. I personally could profit tremendously from this course.

Our Teachers
Eric
I started dancing in 2005 in New Zealand. Addicted to expressive dances, I frequently visit West Coast Swing, Leroc, Lindy Hop, Blues or Tango dance floors and festivals.
Passionate about musicality and partner connection, I founded Leroc Zürich in 2013 (the first modern jive group in Switzerland) and attended the SwingStep Teaching Summit to build my teaching skills.
Carmen
I fell in love with Leroc 20 years ago. It paved my way to other dance styles, such as West Coast Swing, Blues, Tango, Bachata, and and and…
What I particularly enjoy is the freedom to express something in the dance that exists for just that fleeting moment, when you and your partner hear something in the music that you want to capture in your dance.
