REGISTRATION OPENS 14.02. 12:00 (for subscriber, link below), 18:00 (for public) 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! * Mathieu Najean : saxophone * Julien Gillain : piano * Andrew Bolton : double bass, vocals * Tom Lambrecht : drums �Teachers: * Helena Kanini (HR) - (Lindy Hop, Solo Jazz) * Sep Vermeersch (BE) - (Lindy Hop, Blues) * Randy & tba (DE) - (Lindy Hop Total Beginner Track) Timetable : (preliminary, might have minor change) Saturday, 12 April 2025 Workshop: * 11:00-13:00 Lindy Hop Total Beginner Track (Randy & tba) * 13:00-14:30 Lindy Hop Int-Adv (Sep & Kanini) * 14:30-14:45 Break * 14:45-16:15 Lindy Hop Int-Adv (Sep & Kanini) * 16:15-16:30 Break * 16:30-18:00 Blues Open Level (Sep) Party: * 19:45 Open Door * 20:00-21:00 Cultural Awareness (Sep) * 21:00-21:30 DJ Hot Soup * 21:30-23:30 SHORTY JUKE (LIVE), special show * 23:30-02:00: DJ Sep x Hot Soup Sunday, 13 April 2025 Solo Jazz * 13:00-15:00 Authentic Jazz 1 (Kanini) * 15:00-15:45 Break * 15:45-17:45 Authentic Jazz 2 (Kanini) Topics include: tba Ticket Options: (Registration opens 14 February. 18:00) , for Subscribers (12:00) Early Bird until 14.3. or depends on availability Link to subscribe: https://mailchi.mp/2ac86dd01691/the-night-train-groove For tickets and more details, check out our instagram @thenighttrain_groove or scan the QR code in the event photo!
