When?
31th March - 2nd April 2023
(Registration will open on 15th December 2022, h 2pm)
Who?
Music Director: Mauro L. Porro.
Teachers: Laura Keat & Jeremy Otth (USA); Anni Skoglund (Swe) & Gasper Hrovat (Slo)
What?
Our main purpose is to create a friendly, relaxed, intimate atmosphere, where the dancers will have the chance to get to know each other and hang out together; that's why we love to offer an "All Inclusive" formula:
Classes + Parties + Accommodation in a beautiful 4 stars Hotel.
Also: we take extreme care of the live concerts and the whole atmosphere at the parties.
Where?
Imagine a dream city, completely designed in the "Liberty" style, neat, easily walkable and located in the middle of beautiful, charming Tuscany in Italy: this is Montecatini Terme.
Once you are here you won't need any transport.
It is located about 40 km from Florence and 60 km from Pisa Airport, but also not so far from Bologna.
Organizers
The Festival is organized by Alice & Lollo, founders of Swing Mood (association that works in Tuscany: Pistoia, Prato, Florence, Montecatini, Arezzo, Siena).
It organizes weekly classes of Lindy Hop, Solo Jazz, Balboa and Blues; many social dance events with live music; another international festival in the same location of TBW: Crazy Blues. Follow our website and Facebook page!
