Two swing communities, one dance floor: an occasion to share laughs, moves, and good times!
The exchange will take place in two separate moments:
From 17 to 19th April, the Lindy Cats swing community from Graz will come to Trieste. We will host them, show them the beauty of the city and, of course, make them dance!
In October it will be the turn of the Swing Freaks to go to Graz and do the same.
Preliminary program:
Friday, April 17: In the evening, the official start of the exchange between the two communities. A dance floor full of lindy hoppers from Trieste and Graz, swing music all night, and the chance to dance, meet new people and break the ice.
Saturday, April 18:
Morning – City walk & swing game. A guided walk through the center of Trieste with games and small challenges along the way.
Afternoon – Special workshop with Špela Premelč, Nejc Zupan e Francesc Bujosa Ribas, 3 of the best dancer on the European swing scene.
Evening – Dinner & big swing party. We’ll have dinner together with pizza and finger food, followed by a big swing party with live music from one of the best bands in the region.
Sunday, April 19: We close the weekend the Triestine way: together around a table at a traditional osmica, a seasonal tavern serving homemade wine and simple local food. Good wine, local food, stories from the weekend and a few last hugs before
For the full weekend the participation fee is 70€ (all the activities listed included)
