About Us

Summer Jamboree, the Hottest Rockin’ Holiday on Earth!

“Once upon a time, in the garden of a school…”

Yes it really was in a school garden that the magic started. A magic strong enough to break down barriers, break through prejudices, and bring moments of unadulterated joy to thousands.

It wasn’t long before the festival started to draw the attention of the national press, describing  Rock’n’Roll at the Summer Jamboree as a “visceral tribute to the music of the Forties and Fifties that warmed hearts and made skin glow with the joy of living and being together after the darkness of war”.

“An unmissable occasion for all fans of early rock and American Graffiti style” Rolling Stone

"The Summer Jamboree is the festival where time stands still"

"Stop Italy, I want to get off ... In the Fifties"
Il Venerdì di Repubblica

Summer Jamboree is a big family, carefully chosen, with an incredible attention to detail and an infinite love for what we do.

Every summer the town lights up with the smiles of onlookers, enthusiasts, and artists from all over the world.

Rock’n’Roll, Swing, Jive, Rockabilly, Country, Doo-wop, Rhythm’n’Blues, Hillbilly, Western Swing…

Music that over the years has developed a following, has been handed down from generation to generation, yet remains current and relevant and able to transcend age, appealing to the young, the old, and everyone in between.

Every year we celebrate 40s and 50s American culture in all its many facets; lifestyle, music, dance, vintage clothing, design, classic cars, and much much more.

Level Guide

Dance camp

To ensure everyone has an engaging learning experience, the Summer Jamboree Dance Camp courses are divided into four different levels. We invite you to read the descriptions below carefully in order to choose the lessons that are best for you.

Level 1

Level 1 is for people who have never danced before, or people that haven’t been dancing for very long, or who aren’t that confident with the basics yet. It is also ideal for those who want to start again after a long break, or return to the fundamental basics. You will learn the basic steps, the structure of the dance and the first elements of connection with the partner, whilst having fun of course!

Level 2

Level 2 is aimed for people who have already covered the basics and are familiar with the basic steps, roles (leader/follower) and musical structure. At this level you will begin to work towards a higher awareness of rhythm, technique and coordination, consolidating everything that you have learnt so far and beginning to experiment with the first variations.

Level 3

Level 3 is intended for those who have been dancing for a while and have a solid grasp of the basics. At this level you will explore technique, musicality and connection, tackle new combinations and rhythmic variations, and begin to develop personal style.

Level 4

Level 4 is for experienced dancers who would like to explore style, precision and creativity. The material will be varied, sophisticated and technically challenging. This level requires a solid grasp of the fundamentals, a good understanding of rhythm, advanced technical ability, and an open mind when it comes to creative exploration. You will work on complex combinations, quality of movement, and musical interpretation.

*Important! Please Note!
At the Summer Jamboree Dance Camp there are no auditions and levels are not assigned by teachers. Levels are chosen directly by participants at the time of registration. Out of respect for the teachers and your classmates — and to better enjoy the experience yourself — we kindly ask you to refer to this guide and evaluate your level honestly. Choosing the right level will allow you to learn more, have more fun, and make a valuable contribution to the quality of the entire group.
