The Event

Catania hosts the Sicily Dance Camp and brings to Sicily the very best of the International Swing scene. Many guests expected for this edition and the European community of Swing is thrilled to the idea of spending four days surrounded by the Sicilian culture to the tune of the American music and the dance from the ’30s and the ‘40s.

Program and the workshop

Many live concerts and parties but also many training sessions. Sicily Dance camp will also give the chance of taking a dance workshop: various classes will be held not only for the experienced dancers but also for those who start being keen on this discipline.

Culture and fun

Sicily Dance Camp is a unique event that merges together the music and the Jazz dance within a context which is deeply vintage.

Sicily Dance Camp is an appointment where the energy coming from different cultures and generations meet together and share this timeless long weekend experience surrounded by the unique background of Catania.
