From January 22–26, 2026, dancers from across the globe will gather for four unforgettable nights in one of Europe’s most enchanting cities — Edinburgh, surrounded by castles, history, and swing magic.
Welcome to Swing Resolution: Wizard School Edition.
SWING RESOLUTION 2026 HIGHLIGHTS

With every pass claimed in 2025, demand continues to grow.
In 2026, we’re going even bigger — we’ve secured the venue’s three largest ballrooms, making space for up to 500 dancers.
Space is still limited — book early to avoid missing out.
