Welcome to Scandinavian Shuffle 2027 in Umeå!
We are honoured to host the 17th Scandinavian Shuffle in Umeå, the capital of northern Sweden.
The entire event will offer dancing and activities from Thursday 18th of February to Monday 22nd of February, with the main event consisting of three nights of dancing to live bands and DJs from Friday 19th to Sunday 21st of February. The venue for all evening dances is downtown central Umeå, Sweden.
Snow and fantastic attendees are guaranteed and there is a good chance of getting a glimpse of the northern lights. There will be opportunities for both indoor and outdoor daytime activities, tasting local delicacies, and learning some northern words and habits.
Looking forward to meeting you and the balboa family from all around Scandinavia, Nordic, and the world.
