Q&As

  • Can I buy just one class? No. You can do either Sat or Sun as full days or do the entire weekend

  • What is the cancellation policy? You can transfer your pass to someone else at any point but full refunds will only be available up to (and including) Friday 26th April

  • I have never done any Balboa or Shag, can I come? "Although the classes will be open-level, you will get more out of it if you already have a basic understanding of different styles. SDA and Swing Zing are running intro blocks to both these styles in the lead up to the weekend - see more info here:
    Balboa 6 Week Block - https://fb.me/e/7q7poH0nI
    Collegiate Shag - https://fb.me/e/1CT171rqP"

  • What happens if I pledge to the social but change my mind? If the social goes ahead and you change your mind on attendance, your deposit will be forfeited.

  • Is Smooth Sailing attendance included? No, this is an independently run event and you will be required to pay for attendance. Full workshop pass holders will be offered the discounted member rate of $5.

  • I really want to attend but I'm unable to afford the pass I want outright. Is there some sort of payment plan? Absolutely! We want all our event to be as inclusive as possible, if finances are an issue for you, please reach out and let see what we can do.

Final Lost Blues Class

We promised you 4 Solo Blues classes with Jessie and we're going to deliver!

Jessie is super keen to teach her final Blues class and has found time in her rather busy schedule to do just that.

To make it even better, it's going to be a 2 hour special

We've booked the Drill Hall in Bayswater for Saturday afternoon (the 18th of Sept) from 1.30pm so hopefully we'll see you there.

Cost:
FREE if you bought the original specialty block of Jessie's solo blues classes in July.
$30 for everyone else

Online Shuffle

Online Shuffle

  • 17 Howlett Street North Perth, WA, 6006 Australia (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

We are extremely fortunate here in WA. We have certainly been impacted by COVID things are almost running like normal again. Obviously others placing around the world are not so fortunate and we have the ability help.

We could host workshops and classes right here in Perth, but hire instructors who are around the world and have lost large portions of their regular work!

So instead of this years Springtime Shuffle, we are going to be running the Online Shuffle with Peter and Lauren. But don’t worry, you will not need Zoom, and you wont be doing a partner dance, by yourself.

We will hire a space and bring all the students together like a regular class. We will then set up an online video call so that we can learn all the cool things from some fantastic international instructors.

to Sep 13

Perth Airstep Exchange 2020

Celebrate World Lindy Hop Day by coming along to train Aerials (just one of the many things Frankie inspired in the swing dance world).


*** This will be run differently to your typical swing dance event. The nature of air-steps means that we will be running this event more like a training camp than a dance exchange. The aim of the weekend will be on training air steps***
