WELCOME TO SWING PARADISE
Weekend affair to ignite passion for Swing Dances in your swingin' soul
Locations: Lukiškės Prison 2.0 / J9 Vaidilos Theatre
SWING PARADISE
Vilnius Swing Dance & Music Festival
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 organising local & international events.
Expect top-notch organisation. We try hard to create an ultimate swing experience: dance classes with true to the core swing dancers-teachers, authentic swinging music of 1930s-1940s with original and modern touch, beautiful Vilnius old town and venues at your best walking distance, spectacular on-time evening program with plenty of time to social dance.
Even though focusing on unpopular swing dances as Balboa & Shag, we invite all swing dances to one dance floor. Swing Paradise festival vision is a full swing music and dance experience – expect a very wide range of tempo in the music, some waltzes and ballads, orchestral arrangements, even some time to sit down and enjoy the concert*.
*We mean, enjoy the moment.
