PARTIES
Just like last year, we’re offering access to three dance spaces every evening, all within La Bellevilloise.
SWING PARTY: The main area, the Loft, located upstairs, will be dedicated to our swing festivities and reserved exclusively for you.
LATIN PARTY: The secondary spaces, the Forum on the ground floor and the Club downstairs, will feature Latin music. These areas will be open to both us and non-swing dancers (the muggles).
Opening Party: Our first night will include the Great Show, featuring performances by the weekend’s teachers, as well as the winners of the Jazz Roots Showcase 2024 and some special guests. The rest of the night will be a social dance to kick off the festival in style.
Ending Party: We’ll close the festival, as we’ve done for several years, with an epic Soul & Funk concert by the legendary Nestor Ludwig and his band.
PARIS TOUR
This year, we’re kicking off the festival on Thursday afternoon with a guided tour of some of Paris’ most iconic spots, sharing fun anecdotes along the way to help you get to know our city a little better.
CLASSES
All the classes will take place within a 10-minute walk from La Bellevilloise.
MASTER CLASSES: Classes will kick off on Friday afternoon with Master Classes, which are optional and can be booked later. We’ll keep you updated as soon as the program is finalized.
MORNING JAZZ STRETCH: From Saturday to Monday, we’ll help you start the day gently with a Jazz Stretch session to prepare you for your classes and get you warmed up before diving into the day.
LEVEL CLASSES: These will take place from 10:50 to 13:00 , from Saturday to Monday, with your assigned level group. Over three days, you’ll have two classes with six different teachers.
TASTER CLASSES: Held in the afternoon from 14:30 to 16:50 , from Saturday to Monday. You’ll have two classes during these three days, and you’re free to choose your Tasters from a variety of options based on your preferences—whether it’s the teachers, level, content, venue, or simply wanting to join friends.
