Program
Workshops
This year, we are pleased to offer Lindy Hop workshops at three levels:
Alhambra (Intermediate) – 1 group
Roseland (Intermediate/Advanced) – 2 groups
Savoy (Advanced) – 1 group
The workshops will take place on Saturday and Sunday, August 8–9, between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Each group will enjoy a total of 6 hours of Lindy Hop classes, with 3 hours scheduled each day.
When registering, we kindly ask you to choose your level thoughtfully, as there will be no auditions.
In addition, we warmly invite you to join our evening extra classes on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. These classes will be open both to Full Pass holders and to participants registered for a Party Pass. The topics will be announced soon, so be sure to follow our website and Facebook event for updates.
Levels
Alhambra (Int)
You’ve already taken your first steps in Lindy. You’re becoming more familiar with the music, familiar with basic moves like the tuck turn, promenade, and Lindy circle, and you’re completely comfortable with new and unfamiliar moves. You’ve been dancing actively at dances and festivals for at least a year.
Roseland (Int/Adv)
You’ve danced your share and feel quite nice with Lindy Hop. The swingout technique is starting to keep you awake at night, the variations of what you already know are sometimes more interesting, than new moves. You’ve been to numerous parties, festivals and workshops—still not enough for you. You want to grow and get better.
Savoy (Adv)
You got your boots on. You’re veterans in your scene, perhaps even teaching there or having taught there in the past. Someone tells you your swingouts are great, and you reply that there are ten things you could improve. You practically dance to musical hits by heart, having heard them hundreds of times at dozens of Lindy events.

Show Night (Friday)
Friday night will shine even brighter thanks to your performances!
At this edition, the stage is yours — you are welcome to present any kind of performance, dance-related or not. This is a space for your creativity and ideas to come to life!
Pantomime, juggling, Balboa, Lindy Hop, Shag, Tango, Bachata… or perhaps something completely different? All forms of performance are warmly welcome.
We invite everyone interested to submit their acts by the end of July.
Maximum performance length: 5 minutes. Please make sure the content is suitable for an international audience.
We kindly ask you to send us a short description of your act, along with the music, so that we can arrange the evening programme accordingly.
Apply by sending an email to info@swing.org.pl
We can’t wait to see what you have in store for us!
Competitions (Saturday & Sunday)
Mix & Match (sobota)
This year, during Saturday night, you’ll have the chance to take part in our Mix & Match competition, where musicality, connection, and the joy of Lindy Hop take centre stage!
What is it all about?
Participants sign up individually, and pairs are drawn just before the round. You’ll dance with different partners to a variety of music, showing your ability to connect, adapt, and improvise.
- Sign-up: online
- Format: preliminaries + final
- The top dancers will advance to the final, where they will compete for the win.
You don’t need a regular partner — all you need is an open mind and a willingness to have fun!
It’s a perfect opportunity to challenge yourself on the dance floor, meet new people, and let yourself be carried away by the energy of swing
Switching Roles (Sunday)
