Good Friday
The first day begins with check-in, followed by exciting classes with internationally renowned teachers. After lunch together, participants have the opportunity to take part in elective courses covering different dance techniques and styles. We celebrate the first day in style with a first slappin' party.
The schematic timetable will be published in January.
Easter Saturday
On Saturday, the dancing continues directly with further courses in which participants can refine their technique and individual style. After lunch, there are more optional courses with a variety of topics, followed by a short break and a final lesson. The day ends with the second party into the night. The schematic lesson plan will be published in January.
Easter Sunday
Sunday offers more exciting lessons, but with slightly fewer participants as the IsThereHöppli? ended the day before. The choice classes after lunch again offer an ideal opportunity to try out different dance styles and techniques. The evening ends with the third and final party. The schematic timetable will be published in January.
Easter Monday
On the last day, there are solo jazz lessons in two groups, which are particularly intensive and inspiring. Participants have the opportunity to receive personal tips and tricks from the teachers. After lunch and a final lesson, the festival comes to a well-deserved close with a cosy farewell cocktail where the new friendships can be celebrated.

Natty Congeroo & the Flames of Rhythm
We knew we were in for two authentic and thrilling shows when we invited Natty Natty and his band for the IsThereHop? anniversary. Then they exceeded all our expectations with their performance. You were blown away by their overwhelming stage presence, their song selection and interpretation of old classics. So we couldn't resist and invited them back again.
Hornsgatan Ramblers
Get ready for a trip back to the golden age of swing with the electrifying jazz octet from Stockholm, Sweden - the Hornsgatan Ramblers! With their passion for the swing of the thirties and forties, they are on a mission to capture the essence of jazz legends like Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Benny Goodman.
DJ Wuthe
His passion for dance music dates back to DJ Stephan Wuthe's childhood. DJ Wuthe is not only a gifted music connoisseur, but also has extensive knowledge of the history of the German swing scene. He has been working as a DJ for over 20 years. Born in Berlin, he played his first records in his home town at the "Hafen". Since then, the renowned DJ has played at countless events and, with his flair for the right tune, has also provided musical highlights on the dance floor at IsThereHop? many times.
DJ Waldvogel
A true local and probably one of the greatest swing DJ legends Zurich has ever seen! He has been dancing and DJ-ing in the local Lindy Hop scene in Zurich for what feels like ages. There probably isn't a swing dance floor in Zurich that DJ Johann Waldvogel hasn't played his sets on, and there's hardly a Lindy Hopper who hasn't already been swinging to his tunes. His digital music repertoire is already legendary and ranges from the well-known swing superhits to unknown swing gems.
Frida & Fredrik
Frida Häggström Gerdt and Fredrik Dahlberg both belong to the famous dance group The Hot Shots from Stockholm. They are mainly inspired by old film clips as well as by their dance crew at the Chicago Swing Dance Studio in Stockholm.
