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: Hanna Ojanaho (FI) & Miquel Menéndez (ES)
Hanna is a Finnish dancer, dance teacher, and performer who started her dancing journey at 9 years old, doing various solo dance styles. The biggest love of her dancing life was born when she was introduced to dancing with a partner. So much so she eventually studied for a degree in Bachelor of Culture and Arts, graduating as a dance teacher in 2010. Since then, Hanna has been an active part of Finnish dancing culture, teaching and sharing her love for connection, musicality, and technique all over Finland.
WCS was introduced in Hanna´s life in 2013. She was mesmerized by the playfulness and the level of communication in the dance and got hooked right away. Hanna and her dance partner brought WCS to their then hometown Oulu and started to create a community of WCS dancers there. In class, it is essential for this bubbly, expressive teacher to have a relaxed learning environment as well as a solid pedagogical approach to teaching.
Miquel started dancing when he was 15 years old with his parents in his hometown. He started with line dancing and country western dancing. Quickly that became a thing and he started competing and teaching until he reached the top division in that dance. He also danced as a Pro in that dance and had the luck to have coached and danced with many people throughout Europe. Soon after he stopped competing in line dance, West Coast Swing came to him and he enjoyed it so much that it is now his primary dance which he is teaching throughout the whole continent. Sharing his love for this dance is the goal that he hopes you share with him and hope he can show you his vision of this dance that we all love.
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

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.
Single passes for followers and leaders will be limited to ensure balance. If possible, find a partner and register as a couple.
Level descriptions are recommendations. It’s up to you to decide which level(s) are right for you, but please respect your fellow participants.
All prices are per participant.
