Event information
Cape Town Swing is a community of dancers sharing their love of Swing Era jazz dances. They cover everything from Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz Charleston to Balboa and Blues, all from beginner to professional levels. They also host free social dances in De Waal Park every Sunday afternoon, and every second Thursday evening at Cape Point Vineyards.
The beginner programs consist of four 4-week courses: Lindy Hop FUNdamentals, Swing Out Foundations, Charleston Essentials, and Frankie’s Sixes. These courses are periodically repeated and also available as weekend workshops, allowing flexible completion. Once students are comfortable with the basics, they can progress to Improver-level classes and workshops. Classes operate on a partner rotation system with non-gendered roles. CTS Membership offers unlimited weeknight classes and additional discounts.
Students should arrive early, wear comfortable clothing, and maintain hygiene. Swing dance roles are flexible, allowing participants to choose the role that suits them best. For more details on schedules, class levels, and workshops, refer to Cape Town Swing’s event calendar.
