up-tanz

We, Priska Neuhaus & Urs Rubin, met years ago while dancing, soon combined our two dance styles, and have been continuously developing them ever since.

Our goal is to teach the easy way of leading and following through regular practice. This way, dancing with a different or even new dance partner is always fun! By applying this lead-and-follow technique, learning new dance figures or even combinations becomes much easier.

Priska has a background in rock 'n' roll and jive. Between 1991 and 2001, she danced in many shows and acrobatic competitions for the Rock 'n' Roll Club Stereo Burgdorf, helped organize training sessions, and also led them.

Later, she added standard dances as well as salsa and bachata. Urs began his dancing career in standard/Latin, later adding salsa, bachata, kizomba, and, for some time now, West Coast Swing for both of them.

From this diversity, we constantly try to incorporate one or two figure combinations into disco swing and jive. This gives us the wonderful opportunity to combine music, rhythm, and feeling in dance.
