Workshops
All workshops will be held across three locations in North East Valley apart from Monday. They are a walkable distance within the time between classes. Monday classes are held in Central Dunedin in one space. We'll be posting a full schedule in the coming weeks.

THE FESTIVAL RUNS ON A 'PICK YOUR OWN PATH' STYLE. HERE IS A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT THE DIFFERENT 'LEVELS' MEAN.

OPEN: Everyone who knows the basic shapes, rhythms, and values of the dance is welcome.
CHALLENGE: Fast learners/more experienced dancers will get the most out of these classes.

Wanting to attend just a few classes here and there?
This year we can't offer single class tickets unfortunately due to our full registrations selling out.

The workshop spaces are all on North Road with a maximum walking distance of 15 minutes. Apart from Monday which is at Trinity College in Central Dunedin. We've made a handy map for you so you don't get lost.

The Dunedin Swing Festival invites all the little people with a wriggle in their toes and a jive in their joints to come and dance with us this King's Birthday weekend.
Learn about the history of this super fun African American dance form with Swing Riot teacher, Sibby. She will get your feet stomping and your jazzy hands waggling to swing era tunes and knee slapping beats.
This is a free event put on by Swing Riot in conjunction with the Dunedin Swing Festival.
Parents please stay with your child during the class - you can even join in - you never know, you may just enjoy it more than your toddler!
