THURSDAY 29TH MAY | 8:00pm | ERRICK'S CAFE --- For years Blues dancers have been pushed into the small hours of the night. We thought it was about time that Blues dancers got pride of place with an actual evening event. We are kicking off this year's event with The Whirling Eddys.
WITH FREE TASTER DANCE CLASS & Jessie Gordon and her Rinky Tinky Jingle Jangle Jazz Club | Jessie Gordon is a a 20 time Fringe World Music and Cabaret Award winning singer. Her main musical passions are jazz, blues and roots music. She has toured Australia, America, South East Asia, Germany, France, Spain, Poland and the UK. We are very excited to have paired her up with our very own Rinky Tinkies to keep the dance floor pumping! | New to dance? A taster class to teach you the basics opens the event at 7:00pm.
Based in Ōtepoti Dunedin, New Zealand and running King's Birthday weekend, (29th May - 2nd June) the Dunedin Swing Festival has a full schedule of social dancing and workshops to attend in Lindy Hop, Balboa, Blues and Solo Jazz. If you can’t make it to the full festival then we have options for individual events and workshops too.
We are proudly a safe space for all to come and dance.
We can't wait to dance with you!
