Swing & Rock'N'Roll Dance Classes Wednesdays @ Concord.

FIRST CLASS FREE FOR NEW STUDENTS STARTING IN JULY Step into the timeless joy of swing dancing every Wednesday night at Concord with the Sydney Swing Katz. In Sydney's inner west, the dance floor comes alive with the charm of swing and Lindy Hop, plus the high-energy spirit of rock 'n' roll, taught by some of Australia's most experienced instructors. These classes aren't just about steps — they're about unleashing your inner dancer and connecting with the music (and the people you're dancing with) in a whole new way. Whether you're a complete beginner or a regular on the social dance floor, come join us for a night of laughter, learning, and plenty of fancy footwork. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to swing and sway your way through the week with the Sydney Swing Katz. / NEW STUDENTS / Start with us on 8, 15 or 22 July, or wait until the next beginners' block in September. / 7:00 PM — BEGINNERS SWING & LINDY HOP / Always wanted to dance to that classic Big Band sound? Our beginners swing and Lindy Hop class is the perfect place to start. You'll learn the foundation steps that have kept dancers smiling since the 1930s — taught with patience, plenty of laughs, and zero pressure. No partner needed, no experience required, and no need to be "good at dancing" — just turn up in flat shoes, leave the nerves at the door, and we'll take care of the rest. / 7:00 PM — INTERMEDIATE SWING & LINDY HOP / Already got the basics under your feet? Our intermediate swing and Lindy Hop class is where things really start to swing. We'll deepen your connection in leading and following, work on more complex moves and combos, sharpen your footwork variations, and help you develop the musicality and styling that turns steps into dancing. We recommend completing the beginners course first. Come ready to play, experiment, and dance with some of the best in the room. / 8:00 PM — BEGINNERS ROCK'N'ROLL / Feeling a bit hesitant to hit the dance floor? Think your feet have a mind of their own? Fear not — get ready to groove and leave your inhibitions behind! In our beginner-friendly rock'n'roll course, you'll master the fundamental steps with ease while building the confidence to shine on the social floor. Ditch the nerves, dress comfortably, and leave your worries at the door — no partner required, just your willingness to dance your heart out! / 8:00 PM — INTERMEDIATE ROCK'N'ROLL / Ready to take your rock'n'roll to the next level? Our intermediate class is a fun journey through more advanced moves, refined technique, and stylish flair. We recommend completing our beginners course first, as you'll dive deeper into leading and following, more complex combos, intricate footwork variations, and adding your own personal touch to every step. Expect to expand your dance repertoire, unleash your creativity, and learn some seriously cool moves. / CLASS PASSES / $18 for a single class per person, or $30 to do both the Swing and Rock'n'Roll classes on the same night. 4-class pass: $60 per person. Buy online at sydneyswingkatz.com.au or pay at the door (cash & card accepted). / PARKING / There's street parking directly outside the venue on Correys Ave, plus plenty more on Tenterfield St, Gracemere St and Mackenzie St — all within a 1-minute walk. / PUBLIC TRANSPORT / North Strathfield Train Station is a 10-minute walk from the venue. There are bus stops a few minutes' walk away too, though night services run less frequently — so plan ahead if catching the bus home. / FAQ / - Am I too old / too young? Our classes attract a wide age range — from people in their 20s right through to folks in their 70s. There's no "right" age to start dancing, and you'll find a friendly mix on the floor every week. - What do I wear? Flat shoes and comfortable clothing. Some dancers love to get all dressed up, while others just wear what makes them happy. A dance class can be a bit of a workout, so dress accordingly — but if you want to get dolled up, you won't be the only one. - Do I need a partner? Come alone, bring a friend, or invite a whole group. We encourage rotating partners in class — it's the best way to improve, and it's how you'll meet the friendly faces you'll keep seeing on the social dance floor. Teachers and performance troupe members step in, too, so it's a great chance to learn from some of the best dancers in Australia. - Do we have to swap partners? We encourage swapping because it's the fastest way to improve, but you're more than welcome to stay with one partner the whole class. We want everyone to feel comfortable. - Do I need to book? We recommend booking online, but you're welcome to drop in and pay on the day. Cash and cards are both accepted. / MORE INFO / Head to sydneyswingkatz.com.au or send us a Facebook or Instagram message with any other questions.
