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!

Formerly the Midwinter Swing Festival, our annual dance exchange over King's Birthday weekend. Featuring international instructors teaching workshops over three days, and top local musicians, this event is all you’ll need to keep you warm this winter! A Lindy, Blues, Solo and Bal event with a great vibe, perfect for newer or more advanced dancers.
