Swing KIDS Swing teens 2026
fusion
|
Different particles came together to form the Earth and all humans.
When humans came together, the partner dance Lindy Hop was born, and when the dance came to Sweden, we got Herräng Dance Camp. When the camp encountered local children it gave us Swing Kids Swing Teens! This year’s camp is called FUSION, and we will put new and unexpected encounters at the center. Of course, we will dance Lindy Hop from the past, present, and future but what happens when Lindy Hop meets space and what does acrobatics on the moon look like? New dance styles spread quickly through social media, and we’ll try trendy K-pop and even learn new moves through Virtual Reality. The Friday party has a space theme, so pack your most out-of-this-world outfit. New this year is that we are hosting a playful dance competition during Friday’s social dance. Everyone who wants to can join, from beginners to pros. Welcome to a summer full of encounters with new friends, inventions, ideas, and dance! |

Herräng Dance Camp
The dance camp runs parallel with Herräng Dance Camp, which started already in 1982. All adults can take classes and dance at the same time as their children, so this is an excellent summer activity for the whole family. In addition to the dance camp there is plenty to do: Bands and DJs play on three dance floors, exhibitions, dance competitions, masquerades, shows, vintage clothing shop, taster classes, lectures, panel discussions and vintage films. Experience cultural heritage with Herräng's beautiful mines, visit Grisslehamn, Norrtälje, Roslagen's lakes and beautiful ocean, archipelago, forest and wildlife. Accommodation is everything from bunk beds in dormitory, tents, caravans or rent a cottage in the village. There are restaurants, food carts, café, ice cream parlor, a small local shop and the town Hallstavik, only 10 minutes away by car. |
