Welcome to Lund, Sweden, for a weekend of workshops, social dancing, and fun. This is not a WSDC event, which means more time for workshops.
Instructors: Karin Kakun, Andreas Danielsson, and Claudia Beyer
Karin Kakun has been dancing all her life. She holds a university dance degree and has taught dance for over 14 years. She teaches WCS, Hip-Hop, Stretching, and Pole dance. She also choreographs and performs. Before starting dancing WCS, she was the Israeli salsa champion.
Claudia has been dancing since she was eight years old. She started with ballroom and then later moved on to jazz and salsa. 2013, she tried West Coast Swing for the first time and has been dancing and competing ever since.
Andreas started dancing bugg at the age of 25. In 2015, he attended a beginner’s course in West Coast Swing and immediately fell in love with the dance.
Andreas and Claudia both compete in the Advanced division.
Linköping, Sweden
I have participated in many of SkåneSwings events. Always good instructors, great mood, and amazing fika. Looking forward to the next event.
Kiel, Germany
The location has a large dancefloor, very good sound, and a nice chillout area with an unlimited supply of coffee and delicious fika snacks! Everyone made me feel very welcome here!
Wellington, New Zealand
I initially didn't know what to expect. But SkaneSwing's community is really awesome. I turned up on my own and immediately they made me feel at home and included as a part of their community. The event itself was well planned and thought through, and the Swedish fika was generous and a nice touch. Worth every penny - I will definitely be back!
Ålborg, Denmark
It is a pleasure to participate in SkåneSwing's events. Always fantastic instructors, lots of fun and not least the famous Swedish fika. See you soon again.
The price includes not only the delicious Swedish fika that this event is known for but also snacks and non-alcoholic drinks.
Discover the energy and style of hip-hop in our class, which is perfect for honing your dance skills and expressing yourself through movement.
You can buy T-shirts, tank tops, hoodies, and more with various designs during the event, including our SkåneSwing logo.
If you can’t wait, take a lot and find your new favorite on DanceDesignz.
Danse Kompagniet will be selling shoes during the socials. If you want them to bring any specific shoe or size, contact them before the event at Danse Kompagniet
I just started dancing West Coast Swing. Can I participate?
For level 2 you only need to know the basic 5 steps of West Coast Swing. This is equivalent to having completed a beginner’s course.
I'm not Swedish, is this event still for me?
Yes, of course! Everyone is welcome and all workshops and information will be provided in English.
I am a single follower / leader and there are no single passes available at my level. What should I do?
Best is if you can find a partner to sign up with since couple passes are available until the event is full. Single passes will also be added as we sell more couple passes. This is to keep a good balance between leaders and followers at every level.
The level(s) I want to attend are not available! Is there a queue?
No, there is no queue, but we will add more single passes as we sell couple passes. This is to keep a good balance between the roles.
Which level should I sign up for?
Requirements for each level are specified at the bottom of the page.
Is the venue at a hotel or where can I stay?
The venue is not at a hotel, but there are several hotels and a few other places within walking distance. We recommend that you check hotels.com, booking.com and airbnb.com for the best options.
Can I buy drinks and food at the venue?
No, we do not sell drinks or feed. Lunch, Swedish fika, snacks and drinks (non-alcoholic) are included in the price.
Can I bring my own food?
Yes you can. The venue also has a microwave.
Is it possible to buy a pass for only one day?
No that is unfortunately not possible because it would make it very complicated to make sure each workshop is balanced.
What is your refund policy?
According to the Distance Contracts Act you have the right to a free return within 2 weeks after the purchase. Later refunds are usually only given in special cases.
To ensure balance, single passes for followers and leaders will be limited. If possible, find a partner and register as a couple.
Level descriptions are recommendations. You decide which level(s) are right for you, but please respect your fellow participants.
All prices are per participant.
Optional Hip Hop Intensive can be booked separately.
Students get a 20% discount on the event price. A valid student ID is required. Use discount code: student.
