Description
Everything you expect from a large festival — with the charm of a small one.
For the 8th year, dancers gather in the beautiful town of Slovenj Gradec for a swing weekend shaped by the people who join. That’s why SwinGradec keeps its boutique character — defined by the dancers, teachers and musicians who bring it to life.
We begin in the Koroška countryside at Lešnik Farm. Under a traditional wooden hayrack, beside a 400-year-old linden tree, the welcome evening unfolds as the sun sets and the space slowly comes alive. On Saturday, the journey continues to the elegant courtyard of Rotenturn Castle, where our grand finale under the stars awaits.
Passionate and incredible teachers, themed workshops, and social dancing create space for connection, learning and shared moments. The program brings together Lindy Hop workshops, additional boutique classes, live music and social dancing in a warm and welcoming setting.
✨ Teachers:
👉 Francesca Checcacci & Marco Baracchi (ITA)
Years of dancing together, endless chemistry and precision on the social floor.
👉 Luisa Venditti & Lorenzo D'Amato (ITA/BEL)
Playfulness. Talent. Flow. No limits.
🎷 Live music:
🎶 The SwingTones — a legendary swing band with a vibrant live sound full of humour, groove and authentic swing spirit. Back with us after some time — and we are excited to share this moment together.
