Swing · Lindy Hop · Jazz improvisation
4–9 August 2026 · Neumann János University, Kecskemét
We welcome everyone interested in classic (old-school, danceable) jazz — from complete beginners to advanced players, with no age limit. Instrumental or vocal pre-education (e.g. music school) is required; interested passive participants are also welcome! Camp attendees receive 5 × 40-minute individual lessons plus afternoon band practice. On the final day of the festival, the best camp performances close the JAZZ CAPITAL main stage. The camp is organised together with the Pepita Association and Neumann János University; swing dance courses are coordinated by Pepita from 6–8 August.
