Temple du Swing' values
Dancing out of passion, for the joy of it, to share special moments, to learn and to escape into the sounds of instruments and voices… That is our philosophy.
At Temple du Swing, these values are also grounded in a reality that shapes our choices and the atmosphere we strive to bring to all our events.

GENDER # ROLE
Leader, follower, switch — it’s your choice! You can sign up for a class in one role, another class in the other role, and switch during evenings. The whole point of dancing is to feel good.
Respect & Trust
At TDS, we place great importance on respecting everyone — their differences, their boundaries, their approach to physical contact. We are committed to providing an environment where all interaction, verbal or otherwise, is guided by kindness and consent.

ECOLOGY
We believe in active environmental citizenship, through both action and awareness: Climate Fresk workshops, donations to various organisations (Fondation GoodPlanet…)
Reducing energy waste
LED bulbs, keeping doors open or closed as needed, moderate use of air conditioning and heating… Every little action counts!
Recycling
At TDS, almost everything has been sourced second-hand (furniture, crockery, appliances…), through thrift purchases and donations. A huge thank you to all our donors 🙂
