You heard it here first: the Bogenfest returns in 2026 and we’ll be there once again for an entire day of swing dancing fun in the middle of the Bogenmeile.
Mark your calendars: the annual Bogenfest in Innsbruck is taking place on Saturday, May 30, and we’re inviting you to join us at our swing dancing floor at the Bogen 46. We’ll be enjoying all sorts of swing dancing styles from Lindy Hop to Charleston while listening to the finest tunes of the Innsbruck-based Gipsy Jazz collective “Hot Club du Nax”. Whether you’ve never tried swing dancing before or have been waiting the entire year to show off your skills at the Bogenfest, now’s your chance!
From 4 til 7.30 pm “Hot Club du Nax” is serving their finest Gipsy Jazz tunes directly at our open dancefloor. Afterwards, from 7.30 til the end of the Bogenfest at 10 p.m., the music shifts to a DJ set. If you’re interested feel free to bring a friend or two or simply come on your own – everyone is welcome to join!

The Location
Ah, the Bogenmeile: Once famous for its vivid, flourishing night life and today mostly known for the trains passing over the Bögen, is a distinctive viaduct structure, reaching all the way from the main station Innsbruck to the Hallerstraße, housing a variety of restaurants, pubs, clubs, car mechanics and other service companies. Our dancefloor is located at the south entry of the Messehalle, facing Brennpunkt at the Ing.-Etzel-Straße 46.
FAQ
Of course, lots of people do that. Since swing dancing is a social dance, you'll be dancing with different people in our classes anyway.
Certainly! Every Tuesday, our free Lindy Forum takes place at the Kulturbackstube "Die Bäckerei." From 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., we host a "Beginner Taster" for anyone who is interested. Just come by and take a relaxed look around.
Our regular courses all take place in the gym of the Ferrarischule (Weinhartstr. 4). The location of events can be found on the respective subpage.
The term 'swing' refers to a style of jazz music and dance from the 1920s and 1940s. Our speciality is the most famous of all swing dances, the Lindy Hop. We mostly teach Lindy Hop in all Beginner, Improver and Intermediate courses. However, we also regularly offer specialised classes in Charleston and Solo Jazz. The creators of early swing music and the swing dance of the lindy hop era, who we look at for inspiration, were Black people. As contemporary dancers in the swing dance community we should acknowledge the fact that many of us are guests in a culture created by these people 100 years ago.
Of course! Our teachers place great importance on ensuring that beginner courses are designed so that everyone can keep up, and they will support you with their expertise whenever you need help.
Simply write to info@swingoutinnsbruck.at or contact us during the Lindy Forum, and together we will find the right course for you!
