Lightness and joie de vivre are the essence of swing. We take light entertainment seriously and aim to bring out its beauty and depth. The swing groove lilts and flows, generating new and vibrant styles of dance: Dancing to acoustic music is back in vogue.

Swing fever has swept over Berlin in the last few years and we love the fact that it crosses over into so many different scenes.

American swing from the 20s, 30s and 40s is familiar to all, but Europe was also home to a thriving swing movement. We have mainly focused on French swing and jazz played by German Sinti and Roma, known as gypsy swing. During the Third Reich, swing and jazz were classed as “degenerate art” and banned, bringing this cultural development to an abrupt halt.
Our goal is to take up where this movement left off and inject it with elements of chanson, pop and modern jazz, bringing the French-German swing-club tradition into the modern day.
