Classes
Weekly Wednesday night classes in Cowaramup plus specialty workshops on weekends.
LINDY & SWING DANCE
We teach Lindy Hop, a type of swing dance originating in Black African American in the 1920s. Danced to swing and jazz, it’s the foundation for styles like rock’n’roll, R&B, hip hop, and more.
We also teach special workshops and classes for Blues, Balboa, Solo Jazz, and Aerials (yes aerials!).
Wednesday Classes
LEVEL 2
At Level 2 we expand on the fundamentals working on fun moves, technique, styling, musicality and expression. During these classes, we may learn choreographed routines, practice drills to improve your craft, work on move variations, and more.
LEVEL 1
Taught in 10-week blocks, Level 1 will take you through the fundamentals of Lindy Hop: 6-count basics, 8-count basics, and Charleston. At the end, students can graduate to Level 2. No partner or experience needed - we rotate.
For absolute beginners and dancers who want to refine basics
For level 1 graduates and beginner-plus-intermediate dancers
A free social for all students between classes. Stay after Level 1 to ask questions and get to know the community or come early for Level 2.
This is our chance to practice class material, routines (like the Shim Sham), and catch up on the week and connect with the community.

South West Swing acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet and dance, Wardandi boodja, the land of the Saltwater people. We acknowledge their continuing connection to land, sea, and culture and pay respect to all members of Aboriginal communities, their elders past, present, and emerging.
