Dance Camp Senigallia
27 July - 3 August 2024
Senigallia, Riviera Adriatica (Marche).
The Summer Jamboree Dance Camp promises to deliver a full immersion into the world of Swing and Rock’n’Roll dancing.
Eight whole days (from 27 July to 3 August) to learn those first steps or develop your style and technique alongside some of the best dancers on the international Swing and Rock’n’Roll scene.
Who is it for
Dance Camp is for all dancers of all levels, from those who have never taken a triple-step in their life, to those who are always the first and last on the dance floor, or already have plenty of experience, there is something for everyone.
Lessons are divided into three levels:
- 1 beginners;
- 2 intermediates;
- 3 advanced.
Dance styles
At the Summer Jamboree Dance Camp you can learn various different styles of dance.
In particular, there are lessons in Boogie Woogie, Lindy Hop, Balboa, Jive, Shim Sham, Collegiate Shag, Solo Tap, Solo Charleston and Solo Jazz.
Boogie Woogie describes a lively style of jazz music that really came into its own in the 1920s. The dance we know today came along a little later and was inspired by the swing dances of the 40s and 50s. It is a fun and happy partner dance, that is not choreographed, and is often danced to up-tempo rock’n’roll or rhythm’n’blues rhythms.
Lindy Hop is a partnered Swing dance that was born in Harlem in the late 1920s and is synonymous with the Swing era and dance halls (and indeed street corners!) of the 1930s & 1940s. After it’s revival in the 1980s and 1990s its popularity has exploded worldwide, and over the years it has developed many different styles. It is danced to many styles of music, not just jazz, and is very social and improvisational in nature.
While the term Jive has its roots in 1920s America, the dance as we know it emerged in the 1940s with the American GIs and the big bands of the day. As a partnered social dance, Jive evolved from the more traditional ballroom dances, and was the precursor to Rock’n’Roll. It can vary in style, from smooth and gentle to lively and bouncy – like rockabilly jive for example! And it is danced to varied tempos and genres of music from Swing to Rock’n’Roll and Rhythm’n’Blues.
Balboa is a partnered Swing dance that dates back to the 20s, 30s and 40s, and evolved as a reaction to the crowded dance floors of the day. It is often danced to faster swing and jazz rhythms, and so the footwork tends to be smaller and smoother, and the embrace between partners much closer than the other swing dances.
The Charleston was the most popular social dance of the 1920s. The roots of this Afro-American dance can be traced back to the early 1900s. It was danced all over the United States, however was particularly associated with the state of South Carolina, and indeed acquired its name from the city ‘Charleston’. After the dance appeared in the musical ‘Runnin’ Wild’ (1923), it’s popularity exploded and it became the craze of the nation, and soon after also reached European shores. The Charleston can be danced solo, or in a couple, and is often danced to mid-fast jazz music with syncopated 4/4 rhythms.
Tap dance has a long history and was particularly popular during the Vaudeville era of the early 20th Century, and the Jazz and Swing era of the 1930s and 1940s, where some steps even found their way into the Lindy Hop. Solo Tap consists of percussive jazz steps performed to different rhythms. No tap shoes required!
Solo Jazz refers to free or improvised dance to jazz music, without a partner. Combining traditional jazz steps and routines from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, you can play with rhythm patterns, syncopation, musicality, improvisation and interpretation. Solo Jazz can also help improve your understanding of rhythm and musicality and add styling to your partner dancing.
Collegiate Shag is a high energy partner dance originating from the 1920s and 1930s and is experiencing a huge revival on the Swing scene today. It is danced to many styles of music from jazz and swing to western swing and even rock’n’roll, and often to fast tempos! It shares rhythm patterns with other swing dances, however the footwork and the hold is quite different.
The Shim Sham originated as a tap routine in the 1930s, which was often performed at the end of a show and included as many dancers, performers and even members of the audience as possible! Inevitably the routine eventually found its way to the dance floor, and in the 1980s was revived by Lindy Hop pioneer Frankie Manning. The now world-famous routine as we know it today is usually danced socially, in lines, without the taps, and is truly iconic within the Swing dance and Lindy Hop Community. The Shim Sham is suitable for all ages and all levels of experience, and is a great introduction to Solo Jazz.

Boot Camp Senigallia
27 July - 3 August 2024
Senigallia, Riviera Adriatica (Marche).
Summer Jamboree Boot Camp is an intensive course designed to take you from level 0 to level 1 in a short space of time.
Even if you have never danced before in your life, at the end of one session you will be confident with the basics, feel comfortable dancing with a partner, and be raring to get onto the dance floor!
Who is it for
Boot Camp is for complete beginners (or those who feel that they could benefit from revisiting the basics!) that are keen to learn, and eager to make progress and improve quickly in order to join the fun on the dance floor.
Dance styles
Each day there will be a 3 hour Boot Camp session (with breaks – don’t panic!) in either Boogie Woogie, Lindy Hop, Balboa or Jive.
The programme
Dance Camp and Boot Camp will take place over 8 days (from 27 July to 3 August) with lessons based in 3 different locations all within close proximity to each other.
Dance Camp offers 15 dance lessons each day in various styles and appropriate for every level.
Boot Camp offers 1 dance lesson each day (3 hours in length) in either Boogie Woogie, Lindy Hop, Balboa or Jive.

Frequently asked questions
- Dance Camp
The Summer Jamboree Dance Camp will take place from Saturday 27 July to to Saturday 3 August 2024 in Senigallia, Italy.
The Summer Jamboree Dance Camp will take place at two top locations in the centre of Senigallia: the Theatre La Fenice (2 rooms) and the Sala del Fico (1 room) in the Palazzetto Baviera.
Each day we have a programme of 15 lessons, split over 3 spacious rooms, featuring lessons of different styles and fit for every level of dancer from some of the best international teachers on the scene. Dances include Boogie Woogie, Lindy Hop, Balboa, Jive, Solo Tap and Solo Jazz.
The courses are different every day, and so are the teachers, so for example, two beginner Boogie Woogie classes are unlikely to be exactly the same, even if taught by the same teachers. They will be pitched at the same level, but could vary in style, technique, content and of course teaching methods!
Also, the courses aren’t progressive, so if you join us on Sunday and want to take beginners classes, you won’t be left behind.
No! With a day ticket, you are free to choose up to 5 lessons a day. You don’t have to decide which lessons in advance, you can choose (and change your mind!) on the day, and you are free to choose classes that include a range of different styles and levels, according to your interests and abilities.
Please be careful: Room 3 – Sala del Fico has a limited capacity (30 people or 15 couple).
Once we have reached the maximum capacity it will not be possible to join lessons in that room. If you are interested in one lesson in particular, we suggest that you arrive a few minutes before the lesson starts.
No, it is not obligatory to book as a couple. During the classes, partners rotate, so you will get to meet and dance with a variety of people. However, if you are booking without a partner, it is always a good idea to register early: places are allocated according to availability, and it is possible that places for either leaders or followers are temporarily blocked until a sufficient balance between leaders and followers is reached, at which point further places will be released. In the event that you don’t find availability for the day you are interested in, we suggest that you continue to check our website on a regular basis for newly released places, and subscribe to our waiting list to receive updates on available places.
We monitor the balance of leads and follows registered each day carefully, to try to ensure the best possible experience during the workshops. As we leave you free to choose your classes during the day, there is always a chance that more leads or follows may be present in any one single workshop, however for the total number of registrations each day, we work to ensure that the number of leads and follows is well balanced.
1 Day 85 Euro
2 Days 155 Euro
3 Days 210 Euro
60 Euro for every additional day from Day 4 onwards.
Early Bird: 15% discount for all bookings made within 30 May 2024.
Depending on the capacity of the classes and only at the check-in door you can try to purchase a single lesson at the Dance Camp.
Advanced booking for a single lesson is not possible. If you want to join the Summer Jamboree Dance Camp and you can’t stay all day, it will be possible to do single lessons by going directly to the class you would like to take and paying on the door, if there is still place.
As it is very important to us to keep the classes well balanced, we cannot guarantee entrance to single leads or follows, however if numbers allow, you are most welcome.
On the door tickets cost 25 EURO per person.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ADVANCED BOOKING IS NOT POSSIBLE.
For the classes we recommend that you wear light and comfortable clothes. You might also want to consider bringing a change and a towel with you, it’s possible you might work up a sweat! Also bringing a bottle of water could be a good idea!
All of the classes are within a 5 minute walk of each other, so there is plenty of time to move from one class to another without breaking a sweat.
On the afternoon of 2 August only the Room 1 – Theatre La Fenice will move to the Rotonda a Mare. This location is 10-15 minute walk from the other locations.
- Boot Camp
The Summer Jamboree Boot Camp will take place from Saturday 27 July to Saturday 3 August 2024 in Senigallia, Italy.
The Summer Jamboree Boot Camp will take place at the Rotonda a Mare, Senigallia.
Summer Jamboree Boot Camp is a series of intensive courses designed to fast track your learning and get you ship-shape for the dance floor in a short space of time! It is aimed at beginners who are enthusiastic and motivated to learn, and eager to progress quickly to the next level.
At the Summer Jamboree this year, we are offering Boot Camp sessions in 4 different styles of dance to get you dance floor ready in the wink of an eye! Each day there will be a 3 hour Boot Camp session (with breaks – don’t panic!) dedicated to learning one of the following dance styles from scratch: Lindy Hop, Boogie Woogie, Jive or Balboa.
Launch yourself into the capable hands of our international teachers and enjoy practising the essential steps and skills at length in order to really master the basics. You will be in the safest of hands with our renowned and experienced teachers, who will guide you every step of the way to becoming a better dancer. The idea is that even if you have never danced before, by the end of a session you will be confident with the basic steps, comfortable dancing with a partner, have learnt some key moves, and are ready and raring to get on the dance floor!
Yes of course! You can choose between Boogie Woogie, Lindy Hop, Jive or Balboa – or try them all! Each session of 3 hours is intended to give you a good solid grip of the basics, and each session stands alone i.e. the sessions will not progressively get more difficult each day. So if you can only make it one day, you can dive straight in without worrying about what you might have missed the day before.
No, it is not obligatory to book as a couple. During the classes, partners rotate, so you will get to meet and dance with a variety of people. However, if you are booking without a partner, it is always a good idea to register early: places are allocated according to availability, and it is possible that places for either leaders or followers are temporarily blocked until a sufficient balance between leaders and followers is reached, at which point further places will be released.
