Parties & Activities
Thursday opening night
This year we have a special 🎈anniversary treat🎈 for the opening party - we will be at Kulturkirken Jakob! Here, a live band and DJs will welcome you and get you dancing and ready for the rest of the weekend.
Kulturkirken Jakob is a beautiful rundown church that is now used as a culture arena for concerts, exhibitions, theatre, performances, and now also Winter Jump!
Friday & Saturday main parties
The two main parties at Samfunnssalen have live music by Oslo’s favourite swing jazz ensemble ✨Jazzombies✨ both nights. Get ready for vibrant parties with lots of dancing, and also some inspiration - there will be a teacher presentation and showcases! There will also be a special DJ set on Saturday with a mix of other music styles🎶
As another 🎈anniversary treat🎈, there will be a taster class just before the party on both Friday and Saturday this year!

Speed friending
We all know that there are a lot of cool and fun people at Winter Jump. However, social dances and classes are not always the best time and place to sit down and talk to people - there is, after all, a lot of super fun dancing going on. In order to work around this, we will be having a pre-party speed-friending at Kulturhuset. Join us for a nice evening of chatting, interesting conversation-starters, and a great chance to get to know your fellow Winter Jump people! 😀
There are 30 spots, so please sign up if you’re thinking of coming✨
