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!
Regular Socials
Bringing together all levels, this is the perfect opportunity to get to know more dancers in Dunedin while having great fun using your new skills to dance the night away.
Sunday Social Swing Out is a family-friendly community social dance where you are more than welcome to bring your whānau, and young children are particularly welcome if they would also like to dance to the hot swinging tunes of our resident DJ.
We would appreciate a gold coin koha to help cover our costs if you are able, and you are invited to bring something to share for our afternoon tea table if you wish.
NEXT EVENT:
St Thomas' Hall in Pine Hill, running from 3:30-5:30pm, Sunday 28th July
