The room has more than 250m2 and takes up to 150 people. You can grab some cake and tea at the bar and eat and sip it in the seating area or just hang out in the lounges surrounding the dance floor.

The walls are full of pictures of tango dancers, jazz musicians and actors. Coloured lights bring in a homy atmosphere, as if you are dancing in your own living room.


Tea Time Swing

Tea Time Swing is happening during winter time every 2. and 4. Sunday of the month, from 16h to 19h.

Next dates are: 9 Jan, 23 Jan, 13 Feb, 27 Feb, 13 March, 27 March, 10 April 2011 (end of the season).

If you are in Zürich, feel free to join us. Entrance fee is only CHF 5!

Bürkli-Hop Zürich

During the summer time a unique place in Zürich is crowded by Lindy Hop and Balboa dancers: the music pavilion at Bürkliplatz (Bürkli square), in the middle of the city and at the Zürichsee (Lake Zurich).


Bürkliplatz is named after Arnold Bürkli (1833-1894), the engineer responsible for the construction of the city's quais, and was built 1887. The music pavilion was built 1908. Both are used for all kind of events and happenings (such as vegetable market, flea market, concerts, dances…).
