Lets talk about the three amazing dance nights that await you:
What will the music be like at the parties?
Friday & Sunday – One dance floor where DJs will alternate between shag and blues songs, giving you the best of both styles throughout the night.
Saturday – A special evening with live music! Enjoy two great bands, each playing two sets – Swing Brigade will bring the shag energy, while Bend Over will set the mood with blues! Plus, with two dance floors available all night, you’ll always have a place to dance to either shag or blues music.
Single party tickets will be available at the door: Friday 15 €, Saturday 30 €, Sunday 10 €. (Cash only)
SIUBID Showdown
The Friday Frenzy party heats up with a fun dance competition!
How to join?
No sign-ups. No prelims. Find a partner and just jump in and dance.
How it works?
When the music starts you will dance to shag and blues songs prepeared by DJ Vladi! The rhythms will alternate between slow and fast. Any partnered swing dance style is allowed!
- First round
Judges walk around and tap in the couples moving on to the next round. When the music stops, only those tapped in stay on the floor.
- Second round
This time, the judges will tap out pairs one by one — until just the winning couple is left dancing!
Judging criteria
Teachers will be looking out for the following things in your dance:
- Joy – Who’s clearly having the most fun on the floor?
- Musicality – Are you feeling the rhythm, especially through those sneaky transitions?
- Connection – Vibe, chemistry, and how well you groove together.
How long do I need to have fun?
All the time, but competition-wise, just for a maximum of 20 minutes!
What’s in it for the winners?
A prize that sticks, a piece that speaks, and a moment to look forward to.
