Welcome to the 7th Edition of Mozambique Afro Swing Exchange (MASX)! You're invited to a one-of-a-kind cultural dance exchange in beautiful Mozambique! For 7 unforgettable days, 40 international participants will join our entire local dance company for a deep and joyful dive into movement, music, and community.
What makes MASX unique?
You won’t be learning from just one teacher — you’ll have the support and friendship of a whole dance company: dancers, musicians, singers, and cultural leaders. A perfect one-to-one ratio of international and local participants ensures rich, meaningful exchange.
Together, we’ll dance, cook traditional meals, play music, sing, and relax under the stars by the beach.
What will we dance?
Traditional and urban Mozambicans dances Lindy Hop, Jazz, and Blues Improvisation, rhythm, and storytelling through movement All supported by live music! Who is this for?
Absolutely everyone who loves to move! Whether you're a beginner or a pro, whether you come from Swing, Contemporary, Street, or no formal dance background at all — MASX is about connection, curiosity, and joy.
You don't have to be a Swing dancer — you just have to love dancing and be open to learning from others. This is more than a dance retreat — it's a celebration of culture, humanity, and the powerful stories our bodies tell when they move. Come dance, connect, and celebrate with us at MASX!
Moz Got the Beat is a vibrant celebration of Mozambique’s rich cultural rhythm, where traditional and contemporary sounds meet the pulse of the people. The edition 2026 of Masx brings together dancers, musicians, and creatives from across the country and beyond, to explore the heartbeat of Mozambican identity through Afro Swing, Mozambican dances, Lindy Hop, and more.
Over several days, participants will immerse themselves in live performances, dance workshops, percussion circles, cultural talks, and open-air parties — all rooted in the power of rhythm to connect, express, and transform.
From the bustling streets of Maputo to the ancestral beats of the north, Moz Got the Beat invites you to move, feel, and live the music and dance that flows through Mozambique’s soul.
Masx is not just a festival — it’s a movement.
