Summer in the city means swing dancing in the streets. Spread the swing word in the great outdoors.
Swing Patrol has a long tradition of taking it to the streets for public exhibitions and lessons to introduce the world (or our own corner of it) to swing dancing. From the Melbourne Zoo to a plinth in Trafalgar Square, so many people’s first encounter with swing is in a public space with vibrant, passionate Swing Patrol dancers. Be part of the fun, soak up some sun, show off the dance and build a bigger, brighter swing community.

All welcome at these fabulous locations:
