The 32nd Klaipėda Castle Jazz Festival invites you not only to listen to jazz, but also to dance to it!

On June 27 at 5 p.m. in Danės Park, you’ll have the chance to discover one of the world’s most charming social dances—the Lindy Hop. The class will be led by Jazz Fam Lindy Hop Klaipėda—a swing dance studio based in Klaipėda which brings together jazz music and dance enthusiasts, promotes jazz culture, organizes events, and invites people to discover the joy of dance.

The “Jazz Fam” dance studio, located in Klaipėda, brings together enthusiasts of swing dance and jazz music, promotes jazz culture, organizes events, and invites people to discover the joy of dance.

“We invite guests from Vilnius, Kaunas, Kėdainiai, and Riga to the jazz festival. But of course, we welcome everyone who has never tried swing dancing before. There will be an introductory lesson during the dance evening, so don’t hesitate to join us—alone, with a partner, or with friends!” says director Saule Jazilionyte.

Lindy Hop is a lively dance that originated in African American culture and jazz rhythms; it is danced all over the world, regardless of age.

Jazz enthusiasts come to the port city from all over Lithuania to try their hand at Lindy Hop and have a great time, as these dances captivate with their freedom, enchanting jazz music, opportunities for improvisation, and rich history. Social connection is highly valued here, so dance evenings and events are held regularly, new social dance trends are introduced, and a fun, energetic, and supportive community is growing.
