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 Sargood Centre, Logan Park.
Workshop schedule
CLASSES RUN ALL DAY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY PLUS MONDAY MORNING UNTIL 1PM
THE FESTIVAL RUNS ON A 'PICK YOUR OWN PATH' STYLE. HERE IS A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT THE DIFFERENT 'LEVELS' MEAN.
BEGINNER: For absolute beginners!
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.
PERFORMANCE: These are 2 hour classes where you will learn some choreography and perform it on Sunday night at the evening social.
Wanting to attend just a few classes here and there?
We have a limited amount of space to offer single class passes this year. If you want to attend workshops and don't have a full pass you'll need to buy a single class pass at the Festival Hub (Nga Maara Hall) BEFORE heading to the space your prefered workshop is in.
SINGLE CLASS PASS: $25
Spaces are still limited due to venue sizes so it will be on a first-come-first-served basis for your preferred class.
There is plenty of space to join us on the Monday for the two classes being held at Sargood Centre.
Locations
The Saturday & Sunday workshop spaces are all on North Road with a maximum walking distance of 15 minutes. Monday is at Sargood Centre in Logan Park. Don't worry - we've made a handy map for you so you don't get lost.
NB: we have a new classroom venue this year, North East Valley Bowling Club. Still on North Road though so you won'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!
