A dance-break with a difference


Spring is a fine time to visit Bavaria. We’ll dance on the shores of beautiful Lake Starnberg - and sail from them -, visit Munich’s celebrated beer gardens, check out the sights and dance till we can stand no more.




What to expect...

The workshops

Our teachers from the UK, New Zealand and Germany bring moves, styles and techniques for all levels.

We run parallel workshops each morning - you can focus on the basics of modern jive...or go into more detail learning about musicality & timing, latin & tango jive, drops & dips and much, much more.

The workshops will all be held in the Dance Terminal 1 (DT1), a bright, purpose-built complex in the heart of the city, a stone's throw from the Hauptbahnhof (main train station). Here's a map.

Here's the programme as it currently stands - but it's still a work in progress! Let me know if you have any suggestions. More info on teachers already confirmed - see "The Team" page. All teaching will be in English.

Hauptstadt Bayern

Munich is Bavaria’s capital and it’s nightlife is unsurpassed. Jivin’ Munich pulls out all the stops, arranging trips to the best dance venues as well as putting on our own parties and freestyles where we join forces with Munich’s own modern jive monsters.
