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.

The next Sweet, Sweet Swing will be held on Sunday, May 29 at the Republic Bar and Café!  4:00-6:00pm for two hours of fantastic DJ music, just perfect for dancing.  this month your DJs are Tim and Dave.

Cost – $10

And as always stick around and have dinner afterwards!

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!
