The Regensburg Lindy Exchange has been postponed to 2021!
There might be thousands of reasons to visit Regensburg, but we definitely offer the best one to you Swing Dancers to visit our historic city in the lovely month of June!
Located in the east of Bavaria, Regensburg is often called the most northern city of „Bella Italia“. You can’t deny the similarities after having some ice cream or espresso on one of the medieval Piazzas. Fancy the more traditional bavarian way of life? Visit a Biergarten down by the riverside.
We cannot wait to spend the weekend with you dancing, listening to fine music, and improving our skills together, but most of all we are excited to meet you here in Regensburg!
Schedule
The schedule is still subject to change!
The Regensburg Lindy Exchange officially starts on Thursday afternoon – a bank holiday – and it ends on Sunday afternoon. Thus, we have a „long“ weekend full of Fun, Socializing, Sightseeing, and Dancing!

Welcome
Welcome to Regensburg Lindy Exchange 2021!
Our first meeting point is located at the Neupfarrplatz: What the Kiosk? A Kiosk is known as a small shop offering newspapers, sweets, drinks, and cigarettes. At this particular Kiosk, you can also buy some handcrafted products from local artists, and they definitely serve one of Regensburg’s best Espressi. If you’re not the biggest coffee lover, ask for a Gewara lemonade – a local and delicious choice. Have a drink, a chat, and of course a dance with all the other participants.
We will be there to give out your tickets and answer all questions. Nice to meet you!

To wrap up the package, our good friend and talented musician Kevin will bring his guitar and play some tunes. Why not try a first dance?
Easy like Friday morning…

Farewell
Unfortunately the german saying „alles hat ein Ende nur die Wurst hat zwei“ is true and we have to say goodbye to you at some point. (It means „everything has got an ending, only a sausage got two“, Germans and sausages, long story…). That’s why we ask all of you to gather for a group picture and one last dance with your new made friends. Let’s exchange numbers, tell us what you liked and enjoyed most, and then dance your way home with a smile on your face.
See you next year!
Time: Sunday, 06.06., 13:30 – 14:00
Venue: Degginger
Even More Activities
Surprise
Something nice 😉
Walhalla Chill-Out
It is one of the most classical tourist activities around Regensburg: A tour to the Walhalla on Sunday!
A trip by boat is really nice, however, you have to climb quite a lot of stairs to finally get to the Walhalla. You can also go there by car and skip most of the stairs. However, once upstairs you can enjoy the fantastic view – and in case someone brings music, why not dance? Or what about a group picture with this great scenery?
