Member benefit: Turku Swing Society (autumn 2026)
Turku Swing Society’s dance courses are starting! Those who have paid CampusSport’s sports fee will get discounted prices for the courses.
Turku Swing Society (TSS) is a rock’n’swing dance club whose primary goal is to spread knowledge on swing dances and Argentine tango. They organize dance courses and events throughout the year and provide a welcoming community for everyone.
In their beginners’ courses, you will get to learn basic patterns and techniques and how to build a connection with your partner. You do not need your own partner or any previous dancing experience, since the courses start from the very basics and you only need to know how to count to eight.
West coast swing originated in the 40’s on the west coast of the United States. The characteristic smooth, gliding movement is significantly different from the other bouncy rock’n’swing dances. The music is also vastly different from other rock’n’swing dances. West coast swing can very well be danced to, for example, modern R’n’B music. It is a living, constantly evolving dance, but most of all it’s very addictive.
The first class of each course is a free try out lesson that is open to all without prior commitment!
West coast swing beginner’s course from 6.10.–15.12.2026
On Tuesdays at 18.05–19.05
