Microcosm!

Microcosm! is a new Swingtown Rebels event for 2024, with the idea of taking all the fun from a regular full weekend exchange and squooshing it up into one awesome event “the single most epic blues and swing social New Zealand has ever seen!” Running from noon until midnight (plus after party for those who are still amping), with four live bands playing swing and blues, it’s a chance to expedite that feeling of being totally high on dance – tired, swung-out and totally buzzing with the peak of enthusiasm that usually only arrives to those sticking around until the wee hours of the morning. Allowing for out-of-town dancers to visit Christchurch and get their usual amount of dancing in but also have some time to see the city, or for locals with family or life commitments to be able to attend the whole event – we think we are on to a winning formula! Sunday morning is the option of a sleep in (so you can stay as late as you like the night before with no morning events to worry about – unless you are keen to join us in chillin’ (hah) at the hot pools). And in a sweet sweet timing coincidence check out a bonus option on Sunday afternoon for people who are keen to learn some lindy hop air steps/aerials, with Flying High happening with visiting Australian teachers Justin and Emma.
