Workshops

Collegiate Shag!
Fancy something fun to jazz up your fast dances? Collegiate shag is another partnered dance that falls under the swing umbrella which provides the perfect joyful bounce for up-tempo swing music. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face (and work up a sweat too – change of shirt recommended!)
With Maja Nowak & Josephine Wedderburn.

Give me a break!
Sure will! And not just one! Learn a variety of solo jazz break steps, covering a range from basic to advanced. A fun and enjoyable challenge for beginners as well as experienced dancers. With Erik Lindahl.

Bollywood
Since the vibrant 1930s, music and dance have been the heart of Indian cinema, famously known as Bollywood. The magic of Bollywood music is a blend of diverse genres and styles, from Western beats to Indian classical, folk, and regional melodies. With a Bollywood song to match every mood and occasion, it’s a world where everyone, and we mean everyone, can sway and groove to the irresistible tunes! With Ritwika Mukhopadhyay

U May Swing stomp-off
In May 2024 Swingum once again arranges U May Swing! A weekend of classes and dance events with internationally acclaimed instructors. An organizing committee is already working but volunteers are wanted. This is your chance to find out what you can do to make it happen. Any contribution, big or small, is appreciated!

Movies and Music

Classical clips from Hollywood to Herräng
Iconic dance scenes every Lindy hopper must see! Erik Lindahl takes you on an odysse through the history of swing dancing.

Jazz tasting
Explore the richness and flavours of jazz through seven versions of the classic On the Sunny Side of the Street, and get to know some of the greatest artists of the Swing era. With Erik Lindahl.

SING-A-LONG
All those tunes you’ve been dancing to, now it’s time to sing them too! Experience the joy of singing together, just for the fun of it!
With Anna Saxin at the piano.
