Bands
Toulouse Hot Club
Born in 2018 out of a desire to energize the Lindy Hop dance community, the Toulouse Hot Club is an atypical and distinctive group within the swing and jazz scene. Bringing together six musicians playing twelve instruments on stage, they perform a diverse repertoire ranging from Swing to Rhythm & Blues, as well as New Orleans standards.
Their sound is all about connection, from street corners to buzzing bars, grand dance halls to jazz festivals, they’ve done it all—always with original compositions and fresh, creative arrangements.
They will play on Thursday, Friday and Saturday for our delight!
Riverside Band
The Riverside Band was specially created for the 2024 edition of Little Big Swing Camp.
Both the crowd and the band were swept up in the energy, culminating in an unexpected and unforgettable moment: a spontaneous punk swing session that no one saw coming.
Caution: The band cannot be held responsible for any out-of-body experiences that may have occurred.
They will play on Friday and Saturday and lead the big closing jam on Sunday.
Margarida Martins – vocals & guitar
Julien Silvand – trumpet & vocals
Jan Galia – double bass & vocals
João Cabrita – baritone saxophone
Jérico Ballan – drums
Party Venue
All parties will happen at our beautiful hotel, Grande Hotel Thermas. Our Main Hall features a real wooden floor, big windows, elegant lights, and a great acoustic. You can party hard and have a nice drink at the bar, at an affordable price.
Your time to shine
We’ll have performances from our teachers and team. But the floor is also yours! Check the best moments to shine.
Mix & Match
In this competition, you can register alone as Leader or as Follower. In the prelims you will be judged individually dancing with different partners. If you get to the finals, you will have one randomly chosen partner and be judged as a couple. The finals will have live music from Toulouse Hot Club. Expect some craziness that can only happen at Little Big Swing.
Prizes: will be announced soon. Registrations online in July.
Open Stage
Thursday to Sunday nights
Share a dance performance! If you have an act prepared, alone or in a couple/group, this is the place to show it. We’ll ask you not to pass a 3-minute piece and register first.
Street Parade
Sunday afternoon
This is where you can show what you learned at our Tasters. All the times you jammed and danced will be celebrated as we dance through the town of São Pedro do Sul. This is a way to give back to the local community that welcomed some crazy lindy hoppers, share our culture, and bring some smiles.
