Dance Club Comets

Comets is a volunteer based rock’n’swing dance club in Helsinki and the biggest dance club in Finland. All the dancers from beginners to advanced level are welcomed to our dance classes. Come to dance alone, with a partner or with friends!

Discover the joy of dancing!

We organise affordable rock’n’swing dance courses and free dance parties for our club members. We also encourage our members to compete in Finland and internationally. 

We offer the following dances balboaboogie woogiebugg, blues, collegiate shag, fusku, jazz roots, lindy hop, rockabillyrock’n’roll and west coast swing. We also have children’s dance classes for 3 to 9 years olds.

You can sign up to our partner dance course with or without a partner in myClub. We rotate partners during the dance lessons.

We let people without a partner from the queue in the registration order so that there are about equal number of followers and leaders.

Our values

Fun and joy

Fun and joy means a cross-cutting atmosphere of joy and positivity that everyone creates in all their interactions by encouraging, thanking and inspiring others. The responsibility for an atmosphere of fun and joy lies with everyone.

Community

Community is a cohesive force that strengthens the engagement and commitment of its members to the association. Community is something we do together that everyone feels welcome. Community is especially created by joint events and volunteering.

Every member of the club has the opportunity to develop and develop themselves purposefully not only as a dancer, but also, for example, as a coach, competitor or volunteer.

Development as a whole concerns the association, which constantly strives to develop both its operations and its operating methods.

All members of the club are equal regardless of their gender, age, origin, citizenship, language, religion and belief, sexual orientation or any other personal reason. In the activities of the association, the different dance types of the club are also equal.
