PARTIES

During this edition, we invite you to 2 parties with live music. The parties will take place in 2 beautiful halls and of course each of them remembers the Golden Era of Swing 😉
 

FRIDAY PARTY

MDK GISZOWIEC

 
For the party on Friday, we invite you to the Giszowiec district, to the beautiful MDK hall, where we have danced many times and always return to this historic interior with pleasure.
 
 
 

It will be a special class with a very special couple. And we believe that they will put you in a positive mood not only for the Friday party, but also for the whole weekend. Two great Warsaw dancers - Jacek Pasternak and Łukasz Furmanek - will show you dance as a new way.

Switch Your role in Charleston - Durning that taster class Jacek and Łukasz will give You new tools to make Your charleston more varied. You will discover and experience dance as a new way of communication, easily breaking out of the binary roles.

SATURDAY PARTY

STAROCHORZOWSKI DK

 
This is probably the most beautiful hall in the Silesian agglomeration, and it certainly looks best in photos 🙂 and the giant chandelier in the middle is impressive ...
Once again, the main party of the Festival will take place in the Starochorzowski House of Culture.
 

We will start our main party with great company of Martyna & Michał Wacławik. As we all know, good neighbors are a treasure, and ours are the best! They will not only join us, but they will also share with you their favorite tandem variations!

BAND

MISS MIKEY MIKE AND THE ORGAN GRINDERS - They were supposed to be with us in 2020, unfortunately we had to cancel the event. They also failed to join us in subsequent years. But this year they will finally be with us! During the Friday and Saturday party you will hear Miss Mikey May and the Organ Grinders (ISR/CZ)!

BIO
Miss Mikey May is a powerful, soulful vocalist with a background in theatre, cabaret, burlesque, and social dancing.
