About this studio
Swing in Montpellier is a Montpellier-based collective of traditional jazz, New Orleans, swing, and gypsy-jazz (jazz manouche) orchestras rather than a conventional class-based dance studio. The musicians celebrate the timeless music of the 1920s-1940s, paying tribute to artists such as Sidney Bechet, Billie Holiday, Django Reinhardt, and Bix Beiderbecke. The collective brings together several distinct ensembles — The Sweet Peppers (swing & classics), Gramophone Stomp (swing manouche), Little Guinguette (pocket swing orchestra), Back to Bix (authentic New Orleans), and the Dixieland Orchestra (jazz revival).
For the social-dance community, the collective is most relevant as live music for Lindy Hop and Charleston evenings, jazz-club nights, and festivals, in addition to weddings and private events. Dancers looking for authentic, period-appropriate live swing music in the Hérault / Occitanie region would engage this collective for events rather than for drop-in lessons.
Studio history
