Chaque individu passionné de swing porte en lui une mémoire qui vient construire la grande mémoire collective du jazz swing et des danses swing. Ma volonté est de collecter ces mémoires au travers d’interviews. Pour raconter sa relation au Swing, pour que les petites histoires nourrissent la grande Histoire. 
Comment le Swing s’est installé durablement en France ? En Provence ? En Europe ? Dans le monde ?
Je pars à la rencontre des danseurs-danseuses, musiciens-musiciennes, organisateurs-organisatrices.

Each indiviual who is passionate about swing dancing bears a memory which contributes to building the great collective memory of jazz swing and swing dances. The purpose of my work is to collect those memories through interviews. So that everyone can get to talk about their relationship with Swing, in order for personal stories to feed a greater History.
How has swing managed to settle in France? In the Provence region? In Europe? In the world?
I am following a path which leads me to the encounter of dancers, musicians and event organisers.
