About Baltic Hop
Baltic Hop is a Swing dance camp weekend for our local communities. It takes place September 5-7, 2025 and
brings together dancers from Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania at the beautiful
Ratnieki venue in the Latvian countryside. It's the perfect chance to
learn from each other, share your passion for Swing dancing, and make new friends. Come join the fun during a
weekend full of amazing workshops by our local teachers, live music by the Home Jazz Band, and plenty of social
dancing.

Parties
Baltic Hop offers three parties! We kick off the weekend with a Welcome BBQ on Friday evening. Meet your fellow dancers from your own and other communities, enjoy some delicious snacks on a hopefully warm September evening, have a few warm up dances, and get ready for a wonderful weekend together.
On Saturday we will dance the night away, as the main party features live music by The Home Jazz Band from Lithuania. The hall of Ratnieki features a great parquet floor, so don't forget to bring your best dance shoes!
We will return to Riga on Sunday afternoon but that won't be all — we will meet up there once more for a little after-party, winding down the weekend and sharing a few more dances with old and new friends before heading home.
Venue & Accommodation
Baltic Hop 2025 takes place at the recreational complex Ratnieki, located 60 km from Riga, within the beautiful Gauja National Park. The venue consists of five historic buildings, one of them featuring a large hall that will become our dance floor. Its vast outdoor territory invites you to play football, volleyball, simply take a stroll in the apple orchard, or a quick dip in the pond.
Upon registration, you will be able to choose your preferred kind of accommodation: a bed in one of the 2-6 person rooms or dormitories, tent, or caravan parking. Also, you can decide whether you would like to take the provided food option or cater for yourself.
There are plenty of parking spaces available at the venue, if you wish to come by car. Of course, you can also travel from Riga to Līgatne by bus or train, as we will arrange a shuttle service between the train station/bus stop and Ratnieki.
