It was not long before these exuberant dances found their way to Europe and therefore also to Rotterdam. During the Open Monumentendag Rotterdam we dive into the past as a dancing.

Swing Dancing What could be nicer than dancing here in the style of the start of this building? There are tasting lessons Shag and Lindyhop on both Open Monument Days. The development of Shag and Lindyhop went hand in hand with the development of jazz. For that reason, the term "swing" is used for both cheerful dances. You can learn these dances at Dansschool Swing in Rhythm in Rotterdam. And fixed tests during Open Monumentendag in the Nautilus club building. The Nautilus building was from 1924.
