I cant recommend too much as I have only been in Lausanne for a total of 3 nights. Next week that time will be rapid expanding.

But, in the short time I was there, I found a Bavarian bar, a brewery, and D! (dance club). Actually, this only took me a few hours to find it all. So 18 minute train ride (from what I read) and you can be in Lausanne.

As far as northern Europeans not dancing, can't say that what people have said is true. I cant argue about the swiss. I will say you can go to Hamburg (pretty far north) and there good dance clubs and the jungs dance (now, I can say this because I am one of them, but the white guys only think they can dance, they dont really dance..but they try). My dancing skill goes up significantly with more beer...
