Aimed to discover the works in those halls of the exhibition "Implosió" dedicated to Modern Art and Vanguard, starts Diumenges Clandestins (clandestine Sundays) with swing at Es Baluard. In the decades of 1910 and 1920, the African-American community, particularly in the largest metropolitan areas, started dancing a form of music that was a synthesis of contemporary music. This included the Jazz (rhythmic and expressive mix of African-American and Irish musical forms), Ragtime (which emphasized a spirited, syncopated melodic line), and Charleston. The dance that would evolve from this process of synthesis was later known as the "Lindy Hop".

Clandestines (in the world of swing and lindy hop) are outdoors meetings of swing dancers, usually daylight, aimed to enjoy music and dance and to encourage the social and ludic dimension of this dance. Associació Mallorca Swing and Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma agree on relaunch this idea during 2014 linking it to the museum’s period of modern art and taking Alan Rudolph’s film The Moderns as a conceptual introduction.
