About Event
One Minute Challenge is back for the 9th time!
The Keep Swinging community welcome you for a wonderful weekend with International Teachers, Swinging Live Bands and of course with the One Minute Challenge showcase competition!
Our plan for this year
There will be classes for 3 levels, where the full pass includes both Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz classes! To compete in the competition is optional. If you would like to only enjoy the classes and the parties that is wonderful as well! Although we look forward to your creative choreoghraphies like last years.
We are planning on selling the full passes first. Single night tickets will be only available if we have free spots. Please bear in mind that it is really hard to organize an event these days, so if you have the means, please buy the full pass to support the event. 😉
Join the 9th edition of our event. We can’t wait to see you all here!
Try yourself, improve your dance and show what you’ve got!
Create a ONE minute choreography with your friend or team and be part of our competition
