The story of The Ugly Duckling

You might wonder why the festival is called The Ugly Duckling.
Odense is home town of the famous author Hans Christian Andersen, who wrote a fairy tale about an ugly duckling who became a beautiful swan. At this festival we would love to see people who have never been dancing and people who are still learning, and help them to develop their dancing skills. Everyone is welcome at The Ugly Duckling Swing Festival.

Best regards

The UGLY DUCKLING Festival Team
