We are a bit early! Still, we want to celebrate Interaction Lindy Hop day with you! 23rd of May, we celebrate the joyest dances of all, Swing Dance (Lindy Hop is part of Swing)! FYI the official day is the 26th, but the Friday is more fun 🙂

We are super happy to have the privilege to dance on the music by De Jong INC!

Swing dance is a unifying community dance for all people from different backgrounds and it goes along with the rich and hard Afro-American history. 26th of May refers to the birthday of one of the biggest investors in this dance, Frankie Manning. Nowadays, this dance forms a universal language between dancers and folks really love to travel so that they can explore the dance in local communities.

Never heard about Lindy Hop?? Check these video’s 🙂

KZ BIRTHDAY PARTY - Save the date

Amsterdam has its new place for Swing, Hot Jazz, New Orleans Jazz, Pre-war jazz, Manouche jazz, with a new concept jam session once a month on a Friday.

“The Jazz Lobby” is the entrance/foyer of the exceptional monumental/art deco Kompaszaal, that used to be the waiting hall of the Dutch Kings Steam Shipping Company, in the eastern side of Amsterdam.
“The Jazz Lobby” is a ‘gezellige’ jazz club, that combines an opening concert, a jam session & delicious cocktails. It’s a temple for the enthusiasts of the first streams of jazz: be it musicians sharing their craft, art seekers indulging in the music or dancers letting loose on the dance floor.
The goal is to let this community grow as much as possible, sharing ideas and concepts, communicating between various art forms and partying like crazy. The opening acts will take place from 9 to 10 pm and then continue with the session from 10 till we can.
Great program ahead, stay tuned and share ideas!

Jazz Lobby

We are all about the glorious music of the 1930&40, mixed with nowadays life. It’s an experience for young and old, for the listener and for the dancer, for the party animal and for the wallflower. We have the space for all of it in the allure of our 1956 stunning art-deco venue.

WHAT: a night full of live music, tasty drinks and if you feel like it a dance! 
WHEN: 21.00 – 00.00  
WHERE: KSNM-Laan 311, Amsterdam  
COST: Donations based, we advise EUR 15 for the live music, or cash at the door
