About the Festival
Lindy Hop Non Stop is a summer annual swing dance festival organized in Krakow continuously since 2012.
On the last weekend of August, we traditionally invite you to relax, dance, walk and chat, all in the beautiful scenery of Krakow.
As always, you can count on a cozy atmosphere, lots of sun, dance and smiles, and excellent music performed by the best DJs and the live band The Hop 'sh Bam Connection.
We are thrilled to invite you to:
3 parties until dawn with the best swing songs (including 2 parties with live music performed by the excellent The Hop 'sh Bam Connection from Belgium!),
5 hours of intensive Lindy Hop workshops on 3 levels,
evening extra classes (Lindy and Solo) focused on learning choreographies that we will dance together during the Saturday party!
tasters and attractions
Let's meet at the end of the holidays and enjoy the summer and the sun together!
See you on the dance floor!

The Band
The Hop 'sh Bam Connection
The Hop 'sh Bam Connection plays the real swing from the period between the 20 ties and 50 ties.
The biggest inspiration is the repertoire of the marvellous ballrooms of the thirties, as for example the savoy ballroom in New York.
Hop – sh- bam plays tunes on which lindy hop dancers could go crazy.
They play the beautiful standards of the swing –era, and also some tunes of the exciting bigband period, or even some tunes of the new Orleans repertoire, more Charleston inspired. As the bandleader, Marie – Anne, is a swingdancer herself, she knows how to put an inspiring and diverse setlist together ! She adapts to what s happening on the dancefloor …
Let’s call it : an excellent band, full of energy, whit a big focus on the pure art of swingmusic. Nice to listen, nice to dance, … move and groove !
Workshops
This year we invite you to Lindy Hop workshops at 3 levels:
Alhambra
Roseland
Savoy
They will take place on Saturday and Sunday (August 30-31).
Please choose your level wisely, because there will be no audition!
For those for whom 5 hours is definitely not enough, we have prepared something special - two Extra Tracks at the open level: Lindy Hop (for couples) and Solo Jazz to choose from.
During these classes, you will learn a choreography prepared especially for this occasion, which you will dance with instructors during the Saturday party.
The Extra Track can be purchased in a package with both the Lindy Hop Pass and the Party Pass.
The choreography workshops will take place on Friday and Saturday evening - the perfect warm-up before a night of dancing!
Levels
Alhambra (int)
You’ve taken your first Lindy steps. Slowly but surely you get to know the music a little better, you know the basic moves such as the tuck turn, promenade or lindy circle, and are not afraid of the new and unknown. There’s also a high chance that you’ve attended some festivals before the pandemic, but in these swing middle ages you’ve managed to forget some things.
Roseland (int/adv)
You’ve danced your share and feel quite nice with Lindy Hop. The swingout technique is starting to keep you awake at night, the variations of what you already know are sometimes more interesting, than new moves. You’ve been to numerous parties, festivals and workshops—still not enough for you. You want to grow and get better.
Savoy (adv)
You got your boots on. You’re the veterans of your scene, could be you maybe teach there or used to teach. Someone can tell you that your swingouts are great, but you’ll point out ten things you could improve on. You’ve got a few tricks that folks will react to only after a few seconds have passed and they’ve realized what just happened. The musical standards you could dance to almost by heart, since you’ve heard them hundreds of times at dozens of Lindy events.
