Weekly Classes
Ever wanted to learn to dance to the swingin’ jazz music of the 1920s, 30s and 40s? Jumptown Swing have fun and friendly weekly classes that’ll have you hooked and social dancing in no time!
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. All our classes are taught progressively, so you can build on your moves in successive beginner courses and keep adding new things to your social dancing toolkit.
- Our weekly classes are in Turner and Griffith.
- You don’t need to bring a partner. Come by yourself or bring a friend, it’s up to you.
- No experience required – your two left feet are welcome!
- You can join in at weeks 1 or 2 of each beginner course.
- There is no need to pre-book, just arrive on the night.
- We recommend you wear flat shoes.
- Our classes are $18 or you can purchase a four ($64) or ten ($150) class pass for better value. There is no extra cost for additional classes on the same night.

Social dancing
Social dancing is an integral part of swing dancing and we highly encourage all our students to give it a go. Check out our History page for why it’s so important!
We hold monthly socials where we come together as a community for a dance and a chat. All dancers (including beginners) are welcome to attend!
Sometimes we have live music and other times we have our in-house DJs, but there are always friendly faces and classic swingin’ tunes that lighten your heart, put a smile on your face and get your feet moving.
The cost varies between $10 (for a DJ social) and $30-35 (for a live band social).
Check out our Facebook page for the details of the next social!
