WHY SWING PARADISE?
A few random reasons to consider before you come
Swing Paradise is organised by What a Jazz dance studio, by dancers and teachers who are Vilnius Swing Dance Scene leaders with many years experience in organising local & international events.
Expect top-notch organisation. True swing dancers-teachers, spectacular shows, competitions, epic dance battle and most importantly – plenty of time to social dance. Dance classes during the day, evening classes and lectures. Welcome pre-party and three main parties at historic J9 Vaidilos Theatre which used to held Gatsby-like parties. Swinging music of local & international jazz bands and DJs. Party locations at the heart of Vilnius’ downtown. Togetherness with friends from all over the world.
Tickets sell out quickly. Like hell yeah quickly.
Swing Paradise is held in the beautiful and romantic capital of Lithuania – Vilnius, which also is a sweet hot spot in the world swing dance map. The fourth edition of Vilnius Balboa & Shag Rebirth was already legendary. More than 400 swinging souls created magic on the dance floor. And THE BATTLE! WHAT A BATTLE!
Lithuanian Swing Dance scene has been bringing up new talents to the world for more than a decade already. Unfortunately, there are too few big events here to show the world how amazing and intense this small scene really is. On the other hand, that’s what makes it a true hidden gem, an unspoiled paradise – you don’t go there often, but when you do, you can’t forget it and you’re never the same afterwards. If you’re into Balboa & Shag as we are, we invite you to the Swing Paradise.
Swing Paradise is a weekend dance workshop for experienced swing dancers. Well known international and local teachers, four nights of parties with hard swinging bands and amazing dancers, held at beautiful venues at the heart of downtown Vilnius, competitions and performances, some relaxed time and a lot of FUN – you’ll have it all.
WORDS OF SWING PARADISERS
Confessions of saints and sinners
Swing paradise keeps on delivering! It must be the most equal, non-discriminating, cross over event in the history of histories. All the swing sharing floor. Dancing becomes super creative and it creates a completely new set of floor traffic rules too 🙂 I felt free!

A complete blast! Was like meeting the best parts of your Family. Inspiring, demanding, creative and loving. A full time experience for body and Soul. See you all next year

Swing paradise was one of the best festivals I've ever been to mainly because of the warm and welcoming atmosphere. A great compliment goes to the organizers because it's them to set the stage for specific expectations by the audience and for a specific mind set. Here you felt that it's all about having a good time and enjoying yourself with friends. And the traditions that are installed such as the one o'clock jump and the battle are priceless!!! Thank you for everything!!

The emotions that this event brings me every year is hard to describe. And I go to a lot of events. But that Swing Paradise comes by far top on the list! So don’t change the recipe too much and count me in for next year 😘
