Red Carpet: Official Opening

Swing Crash opens at Cube Cafè in Via Rosselli 10. Spinning records Mark Kihara from Seattle (USA), one of the most beloved Dj in the swing world today. Do not miss Swing Crash opening party. Be there or be square!

The World Dance Battle Championship

The battle is back. Inspired by a jam circle in Herrang back in 2003, Angela Andrew was the first one to organize a dance battle in Hackney, London. We were the first one to bring the format down in Italy.
Many “gangs” from all over Europe and the world have already signed up, including a first time entry from Australia! Previous World Dance Battle video clips have been posted on youtube and viewed by thousands of people, and the competition is gaining worldwide prestige. The competition format is very simple:

On the dance floor there is only 1 rule: there are no rules! It is not only a dance battle, but it is the World Championship. Get ready for the fight!

The Show

Every year we organize a new show. In the first edition we hosted the Harlem Hot Shots for the very 1st time in Italy. In the second and the third one Vincenzo Fesi directed a show with professional dancers and the Carling Family.
Last year, every single tune of the show has been played by the NP Big Band. Live music for an outstanding show.
This year, for our 5th Anniversary we will...Well, maybe it's too early to announce it.
Stay tuned!

"All Nite Long"


In the previous edition we had a lot of people. Last year, the after hour party was a real blast: live bands, jam circles, contest, shows, food, drinks and a lot of social dancing.
This year we are trying to have more space and we might be able to open an extra room.
