Jumptown Swing

Jumptown Swing is a community-based, not-for-profit organisation in Canberra that has been teaching all things swing for over 15 years. Learn to swing dance and meet new people in a fun and friendly environment!

Jumptown Swing teach beginner classes and above in lindy hop, balboa and other authentic swing-era dances, all done to the swingin’ jazz music of the 1920s, 30s and 40s.

Our weekly classes are held in Turner and Griffith, and at the end of each 4 week beginner course you’ll have the confidence and a pocket full of basic moves to have you up having a blast and keeping time on the dance floor.

On the second Thursday of each month we also bring Canberra dancers a top-notch social where we come together as a community to catch up and dance!

Jumptown Swing can also provide entertainment and specialty classes for your event with our experienced performance troupe the Jumptown Jammers.

You can find the dates and locations for all our upcoming events (classes, socials and special events) right here on Facebook - just check the Events tab.
