It’s all about hanging out with other dancers, catching some nice food and drinks, browsing the second-hand market, enjoying some live music, and enjoying the occasional cabaret performance!

17:00 Upside Down Shake

 

Baptized Eleanor, this band swings to meet its audience. Nette’s voice makes one dream away to other times and places. In a journey through time she stops at Billie Holiday, Mildred Bailey and Maxine Sullivan. Pieter and Sam have been forming a solid rhythm section for years, pulling the sounds of manouche swing from under the dust. Meanwhile, Anton plays the beautiful melodies of swing jazz from the ’20s to the ’40s with idiosyncratic interpretation.

Timing

12:30 – 17:00 DJ Swingtime Ivan opening the afternoon & DJ Superheidi linking and closing the afternoon.

14:30 – 16:00 Live music with Swing Kitchen, 2 sets!

15:00 Cabaret

17:00 Upside Down Shake

 

What do you get when you invite 5 quirky musicians for an evening of swinging? At Upside Down, pianist Heleen Andriessen will bring a brand new band. Expect a recipe of danceable classics and unknown gems. Heleen, Emilie, Joachim, Lara & Jan serve you graceful melodies and crazy piano jumps on a bed of steady walking and driving drums. Come taste this simmering stew!
