We want to generate group cohesion, that includes activities in the natural environment, has a high quality of classes with fun and professional teachers and, of course, that makes you enjoy Swing music. Concerts with live bands and 1 Dj party.
We are mountain people who love to dance! That is why we have thought of combining our passion for dancing with our impressive natural environment, in this case at the foot of the foothills and the heart of the Pyrenees, the Cadí.
On the one hand, we offer the classic combination of being able to take classes with internationally recognized teachers and being able to enjoy different “Tasters” and concerts with the renowned band “Toulouse Hot Club”.
On the other hand, for those who prefer to relax during the day and dance at night, we want to offer you the opportunity to enjoy activities in the natural environment, mountain gastronomy and the fresh air that is breathed in these environments. With the different activities we have for you: rafting, interpretive hiking, canoeing, Scavenger hunt, meal tasting…
Because in We Swing Pirineu association we believe in the importance of generating social ties that last over time and enjoying the present. Well, we are convinced that dancing and activities in nature are healthy and very enriching on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.

For those who have not been able to get a place in the lessons, the festival proposes other alternatives such as the Pack of nature activities and the Party pass.
It is the responsibility of the followers or leaders on the waiting list to decide if they want to request the change of pass when entering the waiting list, or prefer to wait for the option of finding a partner. In both cases, pass changes will be made based on the places that remain available. The Organization does not guarantee that there will be availability once the change is requested.
In the event of any cancellation, the Organization will assign those places in order of registration to the couples on the waiting list. Previously we will contact these people to inform them of the change, and once confirmed, the confirmation email will be sent.
