The Night Train is a collective swing event that celebrates African American jazz dance forms. The Night Train XL is an extraordinary edition that brings various international talents: musicians, dancers, sharing and enriching the swing scene together. Collaboration and a sense of community are at the heart of our event, as we believe in growing together as one!
Shorty Juke (BE)�is a quartet from Belgium formed by four musicians that have been playing together for almost ten years. With a deep love for jazz and swing music, they've become a familiar presence within the Lindy Hop community, performing in festivals around the world. While they usually play in a larger band, Shorty Juke offers here a more intimate touch, still aiming to create a warm and energetic vibe to inspire dancers. They'll light up the dance floor and keep it buzzing!
