Who plays better swing music for dancing than the dancers themselves? Hornsgatan Ramblers is a Stockholm-based band formed by passionate swing dancers — several of them also teachers at our festival! Their sound is deeply rooted in 1930s–40s jazz, inspired by artists like Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman. With a tight rhythm section and vibrant horn lines, they bring authentic energy to every dancefloor. Don’t miss them live — they play like they dance: with joy, groove and heart.

Mr. Patxi "Crazy Legs" is one of the most well-known swing DJs in the area and a long-time member of our association. It’s no surprise to find him in the Donosti Belle Swing line-up — he’s been part of the festival for many years — but it’s always a joy and a privilege to have him behind the decks. With his deep knowledge of the music and a keen sense of what keeps dancers moving, Patxi brings just the right mood.
