You’ve probably already seen the news that the Premier has announced the lockdown will end at 6pm tonight (Monday, October 18), but that mask mandates will remain in place until Friday the 22nd (at which time the situation will be reviewed).

However, we’ve decided that we’ll continue to be a little cautious this week and cancel classes – just for this week.

So NO classes on October 20 – we’ll resume on October 27.

See you then!

The next Sweet, Sweet Swing is on Sunday, November 7!  Two hours of fantastic DJ music upstairs at the Republic Bar and Cafe.

Cost $10.

As usual there will be a group sticking around for dinner, so why not join us!

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!
