Herräng Dance Camp Scholarship Program 2025
Herräng Dance Camp warmly welcomes as many people as possible into its family. That is why every year we offer this scholarship to people who need financial support in order to be able to join the camp. Please carefully consider your financial situation before applying; we wish these spots go to individuals who cannot afford to join the camp without this support.
✓ Full time program at a 50% discount
✓ 60 spots (15 per week) – First come first served
Are you from Ukraine? We would like to offer a Party Pass and accommodation (General Accommodation or a tent spot) for one week for free to all visitors from Ukraine for HDC 2025. Please contact us for this via email at info@herrang.com.

Next Generation Fund
Shaping the future of Black American Lindy Hop
It's a dream come true often expressed by the Elders—some are still with us, and many have since passed on. If dance camps and festivals were the only options for learning Lindy Hop and vernacular Jazz, we would have lost the genius of its creators. Black Elders often lament not seeing young black dancers emerging with a passion for Lindy. But in truth, it isn’t black dancers' lack of interest—it is a lack of access to inspiration, training, information, and connection.
The Next Generation Project (NGP) is Herrang’s commitment to respond to the Elders’ dream of raising a new generation of vibrant, committed young black American dancers who are well-schooled in the art and its history. NGP aims to strengthen and train its participants in classical Lindy dance technique, surround project participants with American and international mentors, and inspire participants to grow their dance communities while sharing the true history and technique of Lindy Hop and Vernacular Jazz.
Participants will be connected to internationally renowned master teachers. Through this shared experience, we sincerely hope they will create bonds of mutual support to sustain them when they return to the US.
Who are the Mentors of this project?
Barbara Billups, Breai Mason Campbell, Chester Whitmore, Denise Minns-Harris, Felix Berghäll, Josette Wiggan, Julia Loving (Frankie Manning Foundation), LaTasha Barnes, Marie N’diaye, Sugar Sullivan and Ursula Hicks.
