Special Workshops

These classes will be a mix of specialty classes which include Solo Jazz, partnered lindy hop, and other special topics the teachers are passionate about. This year we know we can look forward to some cross-teacher pairing collaborations, live music, and more.

Partnered Lindy Levelled Workshops

Partnered Lindy classes with the standard teacher pairings run three hours each on Saturday and Sunday.

Workshop Lunch

Lunch during workshops will be 45 minutes long with no on-site cafe. There are a wealth of takeaway food options a short walk away, however we recommend getting you lunch before class starts in the morning to make the most of your lunch time.

If you'd like to check out a local eatery, check our Maps for options like:

• Mano Wraps

• Burger Bones

• Baked

• Shelter

Don't forget to bring a takeaway container to reduce waste!

Teacher Chat
& Brunch

We're excited to host our 3rd annual chat with our teachers!

This year our chat will be held Monday morning before workshops - a spread of brunch options will fill our bellies before we get to hear from our teachers. This year's chat will cover topics specific to each teacher: their background, teaching philosophies, learnings, and other passions.

Monday Long Table Dinner

Monday
7pm - 10pm (TBC)

We're excited to bring back the famous (or maybe infamous) Long Table Dinner. Long tables not guaranteed ;) (if you know you know). Catch up with all your dance friends and maybe make some new ones over some good food and good tunes. Think funk and soul, rhythm and blues, maybe even a little disco - things that make you want to move after a weekend full of jazz and swing.

Food included. Good vibes guaranteed.

DJ: Ben Hawks

Tuesday Social

7pm - 10pm (TBC)

The finish line social to wrap up the weekend with wholesome community vibes. We'll get together at a local eatery in Busselton (venue TBA) for one last social where we can dance, chat, eat, and squeeze in one last shim sham. The vibes are chill, social, and utterly wholesome.

Food and drink not included.

Music: TBA

Friday - Sunday
