Bosphorus Swing Festival brings together dancers from around the world for a weekend filled with inspiring classes, live music, friendly competitions, cultural and historical jazz talks, shows, and social nights. With two live bands - REVERENT JUKEBOX and MARTIN BURGUEZ & HIS RHYTHM COMBO - and more than 24 international instructors offering workshops for all levels, the festival creates a space to learn, share, and connect through dance. As a festival rooted in jazz and swing, we are committed to honoring and supporting the African American culture these art forms come from. Set in the heart of Istanbul, with its rich history and colorful culture, the festival welcomes everyone.
