Status as of 10. Oct 2026
Short: The plan is to open the registrations on October 24, at 12.00.
Long: We had to change dates due to the World Championships in Rally who has decided to arrange their competitions in Umeå the same dates as we originally had planned for Scandinavian Shuffle. This means that no hotel rooms were available. We are working on finalizing the new changes, and we will then advertise and share them with you to make your next Scandinavian Shuffle to an amazing experience!
Stay tuned - we promise to announce the event widely in social media so that everybody will be aware in advance. We all know how much you all are waiting!
With kind regards, /The Scandinavian Shuffle Team in Umeå
Welcome to Scandinavian Shuffle 2027 in Umeå!
We are honoured to host the 17th Scandinavian Shuffle in Umeå, the capital of northern Sweden.
The entire event will offer dancing and activities from Thursday 4th of February to Monday 8th of February, with in total five nights of dancing to live bands and DJs. The venues for all dances are within walking distance around downtown central Umeå, Sweden.
Snow and fantastic attendees are guaranteed and there is a good chance of getting a glimpse of the northern lights. There will be opportunities for both indoor and outdoor daytime activities, tasting local delicacies, and learning some northern words and habits.
Looking forward to meeting you and the balboa family from all around Scandinavia, Nordic, and the world.
Välkommen - Velkommen - Tervetuloa - Welcome
