…We couldn’t do this without the community behind us.

With thanks to Scott Paynter for developing & maintaining these two sites, if you’re looking for West Coast Swing classes around Australia or New Zealand, visit:

www.aussiewcs.com
www.nzwcs.com

We’re thrilled by the persistent efforts of (growing) smaller communities such as in Tauranga & Hamilton Westies; the anniversary of Urban Swing in Napier/Hawkes Bay, NZ; the resurgence of Victor Dechnicz under courageous leadership; the establishment of JT Swing Team - Perth — a new addition to the well-established long-running JRDA; Latent Rhythm joining the scene in Brisbane; & the launch of Unicorn Den 🦄 Dance Queenstown this year!

We’re especially excited to witness the flourishing of Swing Dance Collective in Hobart … & the resounding success of the first ever WCS event in Tasmania, Southern Lights Swing! To be joined by so many Tasmanians at Revitalise in 2026 is outstanding!

And, we are proud to belong to one of the most vibrant West Coast Swing scenes in the world now, here in Melbourne, with 8 collaborative studios offering classes 6 days a week, bound by an extraordinary community. WCS Melbourne Mix

We are inspired by our neighbouring Australasian events:

Special mention to: MY Swing — Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: 8–11 July (TBC)

With many of these events, studios & communities represented at Revitalise, with their directors, principals & teachers supporting us & you with their presence, bringing their artistry to the floor, sharing their joyous smiles & laughter, & lifting us all up with cheers of encouragement, we are mindful that this community comes together from far & wide &, when we do, it’s a helluva lot of fun! We’re grateful for their & your support.
