Stockholm Blues Fest 2026:The Retreat

A warm WELCOME to the Swedish Swing Society’s 15th annual Stockholm Blues Fest!

Thursday 14 May - Sunday 17 May

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!

It's time to return for the 8th time to the beautiful Tvetagården hostel on the outskirts of Stockholm.

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

 

TEACHERS

We are happy to present:

Hamed Jenabi & Elise Klein
Vaiva Gudaitytė 

 

BANDS

Jessie Gordon & Mark Turner
Jantso Jokelin

 CLASSES

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

This workshop is not suitable for beginners: participants should have 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

Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings in Tvetagården
Afterparty in the city on Sunday
