Have you registered for the Winter Swing Festival yet?  Remember, we need 50 registrations of ANY kind by July 19 for the festival to go ahead!

So whether you’re planning on coming to the whole weekend, or just the dinner-dance, we need to know about it soon!

And just to reassure nervous customers, if you test positive to COVID in the week before the event, we’ll give you a full refund, no questions asked.  Just show us your positive test notification, and we’ll sort you out.

The website for the Winter Swing Festival is now live, and so are registrations!  Check out all the details here, or at the menu item above.

We’re hoping for third time lucky bringing Jarrod and Noni over for workshops, and we have all our fingers crossed that this year COVID will allow it to happen!  However, owing to the ongoing COVID situation, we will ONLY run the festival if we have enough pre-registrations.  We need to have FIFTY people registered and paid by July 19 for the festival to go ahead, so if you’re planning on coming, don’t leave it until the last minute to sign up.

WSF 2022 – August 19-21.

Did you know that when you take a TasSwing lesson for the very first time we’ll give you a free pass for your second class when you sign up to the newsletter?  You can sign up in class, and then enjoy a second swing lesson on us!

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!
