Workshops

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!
