Swing Summit Retreat 2026

September 11–13, 2026 | Sunshine Valley, BC, Canada

An intimate, focused, and unforgettable weekend of swing dancing, community, and inspiration.

Featured Instructors

Mikey and Nikki are a dynamic Lindy Hop Swing Dance partnership bringing both classic style and modern ideas to the resurgence of the vintage American dance. Based out of ATOMIC Ballroom in Orange County, CA

Mikey Pedroza and Nikki Klaus Pedroza, world-renowned Lindy Hoppers, first crossed paths in 2004 during a Mix & Match dance contest. Paired together for the first time, their undeniable connection on the dance floor led them to win the competition, sparking a lifelong partnership. Over the years, they have trained, performed, competed, and taught on stages around the globe, sharing their passion for dance and inspiring countless students and audiences.

Their artistry is rooted in a deep respect for the history of Lindy Hop, an African American art form, while they continue to innovate and explore creative possibilities. Their “magic” lies in their seamless connection, a shared vision that brings out the essence of dance as both an art and a celebration of human connection.
