Queer Swing Dance Exchange Zurich 2026

Jun 19 – Jun 21, 2026 · Zurich, Switzerland

What to expect

Enjoy dancing to swing music from two live bands and be part of the Zurich Pride Weekend. The exchange is centered on connection and plenty of social dancing, with tasters, workshops, and performances. The heart of the event is coming together to explore and celebrate the queer sides of Zurich and swing dancing. Three evening parties with live music, DJs and performances. Friday features a newcomer swing taster, Pride walking-choreography practice and a Midsommar dance. Saturday centres Pride with a "Drag Up for Pride" session, picnic and glitter station, Lindy Switching, evening classes and a late party with live music and queer performance art, plus an optional sunrise hike. Sunday offers a separately ticketed Drag Brunch, a queer Zurich history tour, tasters in voguing, burlesque and Collegiate Shag, a talk on queerness in jazz, and a farewell party.
