No SWOP without a SWOP dance

Learn it, enjoy it and have fun together!

The SWOP dance is choreographed especially for this year’s festival. The dance and music is made by young people and adults in club Poplen in Jyllinge together with Thomas Nørskov from Aaben Dans.

We kick off the festival by spreading this year’s SWOP dance to nine schools throughout the municipality, and on Friday afternoon you can experience the dance with the young people who have helped to create the dance on Stændertorvet in Roskilde city center.
