So not only have our Wednesday classes resumed for 2019 at the Polish Hall, New Town (beginners starting at 6:30pm), but our Tuesday Balboa classes at the Pat Murnane Memorial Hall, Lenah Valley (7:30pm) have now also started again!
See you on a dance floor soon!
The next Sweet, Sweet Swing won’t be held until March – that’s because all the Sundays in February are already busy with other swing related events (or a long weekend…)! So to keep you going in February, why not head along to the Clarence Jazz Festival (on February 17 you can catch the Moonlight Aviators and Lindy Mob), or on the weekend of the 22-24 make the journey to Launceston for Borderline Blues!
Sweet, Sweet Swing will be back for 2019 on March 17, upstairs at the Republic Bar and Cafe from 4:30-6:30pm.
Bal Club is back for 2019, and the next one will be held on Thursday, February 28 at the Republic Bar and Cafe from 7:00pm to 8:30pm.
You get a one hour class with the amazing Shan and Tim, and then a half hour of social dancing to practice your skills!
Need some swing tunes to practice to? Then why not try out our Spotify Playlist?
Earlier this year three of our fabulous dancers, Michael, Ariadna an Liv led the iCharleston Hobart project and produced a fantastic video. We thought we should link it here so you can see it whenever you want!

Well, check out these videos below to see a great performance of the Lindy Chorus for Frankie 100! (note the videos are the same, one of them is just in sepia, if you prefer that old time look…)
It’s been about ten years since we last had t-shirts for sale, but our fabulous graphic designer, Veronica Dixon, has been hard at work, and has come up with a t-shirt line for TasSwing! You can see the options here, here, here and here.
