Minor Swing 2025

Celebrating the 10th Edition of Balboa Magic!

Minor Swing is a Balboa festival run by members of the non-profit dance association West Coast Jitterbugs. Like all other swing dances that WCJ dances, Balboa originated during the swing era, dancing to the music emerged largely under the influence of Afro-American artistic traditions and values. Read more about Balboa here.

Each year, the Minor Swing team works hard to create new Balboa memories for local dancers and international guests. This year, weโ€™re thrilled to celebrate the 10th edition of this fabulous event!

Please get in touch with us at minorswing@wcj.se if you have any questions.

Workshops

Minor Swing is a camp with classes happening in daytime.

We will soon announce a great line-up of teachers!

If you registered for the advanced level, Guldheden, there will be an audition for level split happening first thing Saturday morning. Make sure to be there on time, even if the Friday party is great.

After classes end on Sunday, there will be an afternoon tea open for everyone to attend, which then merges into the Sunday party. Come and enjoy the scones, the cakes, the tea (and the coffee).

Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, and stay tuned to the reveal of the preliminary schedule for the workshops. Note that the schedule is set up so all groups can take classes with every teacher.

Minor Swing is a party event and the evenings will hold a lot of great happenings.

The main parties with live music will take place at our dance societyโ€™s venue, the Forum, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Live band music tuned for Balboa dance will be ready for each evening party.

Each yearโ€™s Minor Swing integrates various activities outside of the dance evening. Some can be placed at the beginning of the Friday, between the Saturday workshop and evening party, or even on Thursday evening as a pre-party.

On Sunday, the party starts with afternoon tea, which moves into the Sunday party, bar emptying and music for dancing.

Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, and stay tuned to the exciting news of the band, DJ lineup, preliminary schedule, and activities that are spicing up the joy.

Evening Parties

Begin the Saturday with a garden party under the sunny Gothenburg sky.

Itโ€™s May, and the weather in Gothenburg will hopefully be lovely! What better way to start the Saturday than with a garden party full of fancy drinks and surprises?

Come early and bring your dinner, or come right after dinner and enjoy an outdoor at the start of the evening.

Between 7 and 9 pm, there will be a coffee station that serves fancy coffee without cost.

Come and enjoy a cappuccino and get the caffeine levels straight before the party starts and never ends.

More info about the garden party & some inspo pics will be updated here soon.
