LISA – Ljubljana International Swing Academy.
Date: 6th of MARCH to 8th of MARCH 2026.
Ljubljana welcomes the world of swing!
LISA is not just a festival.
It is a place where the most dedicated dancers, teachers, and creators of swing culture come together.
It is a European academy of knowledge, energy, and heartfelt community—an experience that transforms Ljubljana into the swing capital of Europe for a few unforgettable days each year.
In the very heart of one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, dancers from more than twenty countries gather in search of inspiration, expertise, warmth, and an experience unlike any other—more personal, more artistic, more devoted to growth.
LISA brings together world-class teachers, a unique energetic spark, outstanding music, and an impeccably organized environment where every dancer feels seen, welcomed, and valued.
Ljubljana—green, elegant, romantic, and vibrant—gives the academy its special charm.
Stone streets, riverside bridges, and intimate corners create a dreamlike backdrop for dance, community, and creativity.
This is not just a workshop weekend.
It is a European gathering of talent, ideas, and the spirit of friendship.
This is LISA—where dancers return because this is where growth happens.
Because this is where they belong.
