What is the Bodensee Exchange?
Lindy Exchange
First, a “Lindy Exchange” festival is a gathering of Swing dancers in one city for several days to dance with visitors and locals, discover the region and its culture and enables different communities to share their ideas with others.
Bodensee Exchange
Bodensee Exchange is an exchange between 3 swing scenes : St. Gallen in Switzerland, Bregenz in Austria and Konstanz in Germany.
We want to bring our scenes closer together, that’s why we decided to organize an exchange in a different location every year.
About Bregenz
Bregenz is the capital of the region of Vorarlberg and lies on the shores of Lake Constance. Very close to Switzerland and Germany, Bregenz is famous for its nature and the annual summer music festival “Bregenzer Festspiele” taking place on a large floating stage.
