In the summer months, Swingkatten invites you to outdoor dancing at the Dance Pavilion in central Uppsala (Stadsträdgården, right next to the Stadium). We usually run at least one evening each week and often we start with a workshop or taster session in one of our dances. From time to time, we also invite live bands to brighten up the dance evenings even more! Keep an eye out for updates on this page! The park dance is usually free, but when there is live music we ask for a small entrance fee that can be paid with Swish or even cash.
This year you can find us there at the following times:
- Boogie Woogie on Mondays from May 26th until the end of June. More events are planned for August! 6:30 PM-9:00 PM.
- Lindy Hop (Swing music) on Thursdays from June 5th to July 24th, 7:00 PM-9:30 PM. Then Sundays from August 3 to August 24, tentatively at 4:30 PM-7:30 PM. Chance for extension into September! — There will be live music with Canal Street Syncopators on Thursday, June 12 and with Herr Berglunds Danskapell on Thursday, June 26. Stay tuned here for updates on more gigs and workshops!
- Blues dance on Saturday, June 28 at 7:00 PM-9:30 PM. There may be another opportunity in August!
Practical info
- Keep an eye on your bag and avoid bringing valuables if possible, as this is a public space and there are no lockers.
- The dance pavilion has a roof and we only cancel in really bad weather.
- Remember to bring a water bottle!
- Water taps and public toilets are located about 100 m north of the dance pavilion, between the yellow hut (Gula Villan) and the playground.
- You can buy food and drinks at, for example, Brasserie21 (open until 9pm) or the food stalls (open until 8pm) both located in close proximity.
