Swing Riot Dunedin runs a range of different events.
We run some of the top national Swing and Blues dance events in New Zealand. We also run regular workshop weekends and events plus a bunch of great social dancing opportunities that pop up through the year. As well as the events listed below, one-off gigs are posted on our facebook page. All are welcome – join us for a chat and have a dance!
Summer Sundays Social Dancing
Sunday dance socials outside at St. Clair Beach are back on!
When? Every second Sunday of the month. Follow our Facebook event for the most up-to-date details.
Where? Right by the sea front, in the semi-circular section in front of the Surf Life Saving Club. Just listen out for the music.Dance with us 3–5pm!
If it rains, we’ll head indoors.
Dancing on beachfronts actually plays an important part in swing dancing history, and a film clip of dancing at Venice Beach in Los Angeles can be found on Youtube. In this video, dancers are seen dancing on a sandy car park right on the beach front - not completely dissimilar to the part of the Esplanade where we will be! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uEbgpvxjfY
