West Coast Swing & Modern Blues

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!

The instructors are very welcoming, creating a space for anyone to jump in and learn, even beginners

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 discovered my love for dancing in 2005 in New Zealand and haven’t stopped moving since! Addicted to expressive dances, I frequently visit dance floors and festivals, whether it’s West Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, Blues or Tango.

I founded Leroc Zürich in 2013 — the very first modern jive group in Switzerland! And to sharpen my teaching skills, I attended the SwingStep Teaching Summit and continue to explore new ways to inspire others.

Carmen

I fell in love with modern jive over 20 years ago, and it opened the door to an endless world of dance — West Coast Swing, Blues, Tango, Bachata… and the list keeps growing!

What truly lights me up is the magic of capturing those fleeting moments on the dance floor, when you and your partner hear something in the music that sparks a shared expression, creating something unique that exists only in that instant. It’s pure joy!

Eric and Carmen won 3rd place at the ‘Bluest Blues’ category at the Crystal Blues Challenge 2024.
