Hi Everyone. I am really excited to announce Swing dancing in the West is back - Swing Patrol Yarraville is re-starting classes. Celia and Dave will be teaching tomorrow night (Thursday 10th). Beginner class starting at 7pm. We would love to see you there.

1 Willis Street Yarraville.

Yay for the weekend arriving soon. Less than one week to go! Another reason to celebrate is to ponder another reason why you should slip on some comfy shoes and learn to swing dance... meet new people! Don't have a dance partner to come with, no problem.. Everyone's welcome!

Swing Patrol Yarraville is re-opening soon... Thursday nights commencing 10th March.

Did you hear the news.... Dancing is coming back!!!

It’s our Coronaversary! Exactly one year since the last Swing Patrol in-person class.
We can finally announce the return of classes ... albeit a slow roll out, not all venues, and things will look different than in the Before Times.

*Swing Patrol Yarraville* reopens Thursday 8 April - fortnightly Level 1 classes, online pre-bookings essential, and we must restrict registrations to Pair Passes only, so as to keep the Lead:Follow ratio workable for partner dancing.

*Swing Patrol Hawthorn* reopens Monday 12 April - Level 2 classes weekly through April, before resuming Level 1 in May, online pre-bookings essential, strictly limited numbers.

More details coming on the Swing Patrol website.

Why not more venues? Much has changed in the last 12 months. Some locations are unavailable to us due to current density restrictions, some have been relinquished to hirers who could use the space for activities other than partner dancing. Some members of the teaching team have moved on, either out of the state or into another phase in their lives, and are unable to return to their old venues. With “unstructured” recreational partner dancing still a no-go, venues with a strong focus on social dancing are not yet ready to resume. But rest assured we are working toward opening more venues in due course, and planning workshops in various locations, aimed at different levels of experience, so stay tuned for more announcements if the current timetable doesn’t suit.
