About this studio
Groovy Cats is a swing dance studio run by Vlad and Anastasia, a dancing duo who teach Lindy Hop, Boogie Woogie, and Collegiate Shag. The studio is built around a shared passion for swing culture and the music and style of the 1930s–1950s era. The instructors describe their approach as developing skills over years of dancing while encouraging students to push their own abilities forward.
The studio offers three distinct swing styles. Lindy Hop originated in Harlem in New York City in the late 1920s and spread widely through 1930s ballrooms where big bands played. Boogie Woogie is the European version of American Jitterbug and can be danced socially with any partner who knows the basics of leading. Collegiate Shag is a dynamic student dance that was popular in the US from the 1920s–1940s.
Classes run on a weekly schedule. The Collegiate Shag Challenge meets Wednesday 19:10–20:10, taught by Vlad and Anastasia. The Swing Theme Class meets Wednesday 20:15–21:15, also with both instructors. The studio also offers private lessons and workshops.
Beyond classes, Groovy Cats organises show performances and dance parties, and encourages students to travel for inspiration and meet other dancers in the community. You can reach the instructors by phone or email to discuss which style suits you and to sign up.
