Built by dancers, for dancers

Nordic — Social Stars is a bachata & zouk festival in Oslo, built by dancers, for dancers. We keep it intentionally intimate — capped at the right size so the social floor stays good from the first song to the last.

Our number-one priority is connection— and not only for our artists. We shape the whole weekend so that every single participant feels it: the welcome at the door, the people you haven't met yet, the music, and the magic of a floor where everyone belongs.

That's what the weekend runs on: world-class workshops by day, parties across two rooms by night, and 11 socials — including outdoor sessions on Oslo's rooftops in the long Scandinavian summer light.

What we value

What we stand for

Connection first

Every choice serves the floor and the people on it — artists and dancers alike.

A consent-first floor

Everyone is welcome and everyone looks out for each other. Yes means yes; no is always respected.

Intentionally intimate

Capped at the right size so it stays warm — you'll keep running into friends all weekend.

A safe, consent-first floor matters to us more than anything. Our Code of Conduct is short, clear, and for everyone.
