What is the Rock That Swing Festival?

Four Days Of The Very Best

The Rock That Swing Festival brings together people from around the world who love to dance or listen to the music of the 30s, 40s, and 50s. A large set of top bands, instructors, and performers create one of the best events world-wide. Unmatched in its variety, the festival covers the great dances and the hot music from the 30s to the 50s.

It doesn’t matter if you can dance or not. If you ever wanted to learn Swing, Boogie Woogie, Balboa, Shag, or Charleston the Rock That Swing Festival is the perfect place to start. Specially designed classes for beginners up to teachers offer something for everyone. Learn from 40 of the world’s best dance champions (incl. 10 World Champions) and find out about the new fads, styles and moves.

Four different venues let you experience the feeling of the Swingin’ Forties and the Rockin’ Fifties. From smaller cozy places up to the big night at the 'Deutsches Theater' (Marquee) with 7 bands, international top shows, and contests everything is provided. Watch stylish people with cool attitude dressed up in vintage clothing, petticoats or suits, with slick hair and pony tails, like Fred Astaire, Elvis or Marilyn Monroe.

The Rock That Swing Festival was created to give more life to the dance and music scene and unite what belongs together. In short, we want to provide a fantastic evening to a wide audience with live music that grabs you so you can't stand still - a place to meet old friends and find new ones.

Please contribute to the mood of these special nights and dress to impress, preferable in the styles of the 40s or 50s.

There will surely be more surprises to come! Details and the latest news/changes can always be found on this web site - so check back often! After the Festival you can carry on partying at the Munich Carnival.

Enjoy yourself and have a good time.
Yours Marcus & Bärbl (the organizers)
