SOLD OUT! Stockholm Blues Fest 2023:The Retreat

Stockholm Blues Fest 2023:The Retreat

A warm WELCOME to Swedish Swing Society’s 12th annual Stockholm Blues Fest!

An extra long weekend of inspiring workshops with international blues teachers, late night blues parties, and plenty of time for connection on and off the dance floor!

Please note that the dates have changed, this year the festival starts on the weekend before Sweden's national day, on Saturday the 3rd of June, and runs to Tuesday the 6th.

It's time to return for the sixth time to the beautiful Tvetagården hostel on the outskirts of Stockholm.

Forget about the outside world for a while, and dance into the night!

 CLASSES

Eight hours of blues classes, and open space sessions, spread between Sunday afternoon and Tuesday.

This workshop is not suitable for beginners: participants should have some previous blues dance experience. There are no level divisions at the camp, instead the classes follow the “choose your own adventure” format. Before each class, you will get a short intro to the two lessons on offer, and it’s up to you to choose the one that sounds best for you.

Leads and follows

When you sign up to the event you will be asked to choose a dance role. Pick the one you social dance the most. This is so we can ensure a decent balance on the dance floor in the evenings. You are free to dance whichever role you want during our classes.

BLUES PARTIES

Saturday, Sunday and Monday evenings, all nights with great live musicians, all with dancing until late!

DATE AND TIME

Saturday 3rd to Tuesday 6th of June.

Check-in opens 1PM on Saturday, first class around 3PM.

The last camp activity ends at approx 5PM on Tuesday.

+We hope to finish with a small Tuesday evening afterparty back in Stockholm, if we get enough volunteers to help us out with the practicalities.
