Upside Down

Upside Down organizes festivals.

With everything included: workshops, parties, lectures, exchange sessions, interactive moments…

And off-stage we juggle even more responsibilities: our expertise includes logistics, volunteering, communication, production, catering, administration… and more.

In short, we know a thing or two about organizing a festival.

We rise to the occasion. Hundreds of dancers, musicians, artists and supporters join us for multiple days to connect with each other, through swing, jazz & blues.

We are madly in love with our festivals, as they stand for everything we are passionate about. And yes, we actually are a bit crazy, because every year, we go the extra mile and make it an experience beyond comparison.

This is Upside Down in top condition.

Upside Down Festival

The original flavor. Upside Down Festival cannot really be described, but we have a go at it here.

 

A cozy swing and arts festival that is dripping with magic, amazement and quirkiness.  

 

Throughout 5 days, we invite participants to take a deep dive and let the beauty in their souls come to the surface. Upside Down Festival inspires and encourages all to explore the swing dance, community and culture from different perspectives. 

 

With the slogan "Rise Up and Shine" , we emphasize equal rights, respect for the African American art forms and a sustainable world. 

 

The festival offers a variety of tracks, workshops and activities. Everyone can create their own menu.

Big City Blues

A fool’s paradise: Big City Blues is the blues festival in Ghent, and well known far beyond.

 

As many as three hundred pairs of feet shuffle fast or slow, but non-stop for three days. At daytime they explore in-depth workshops that are facilitated by (inter)national inspiring talent; At night, they dance to the beat of top-notch Belgian and international blues musicians.

 

The festival offers a space to grow and strengthen the community.The program includes activities such as talks to discover and appreciate the rich history in depth. Blues at its fullest, in its true colors.

The festival was a transformative experience for me. I discovered parts in myself of which I did not know they existed. Thank you so much to facilitate this journey of self discovery!

Please continue doing what you do. I feel that you inject your depths of knowledge and awareness in the international scene. Dancers take your input with them to their own scenes, something we need a lot. Thanks!
