Remember how we've told you that there's workshops and a dance party in Wellington on 23 May?

Well... look who's teaching!! 👀

Charlotte is a fantastic teacher that Lance and Nicole were both fortunate enough to have had the pleasure of learning from when they lived in Auckland.

We recommend popping down to Welly for the extra dancing, the opportunity to learn from Charlotte, and the opportunity to dance with our extended dance fam down in the capital.

Will you join us down there? 😁

Charlotte’s back!

Our guest teacher for May workshops & party is none other than Charlotte Forster (*AAA) (aka Amazing Advanced Auckland dancer)

We’ve hosted her here in Wellington before and her workshops were brilliant with some quotable moments!

4pm workshop (at our usual studios - 22 Webb Street) is for level 2 and above
7pm workshop (pre-party at 175 Vivian Street) is open - so suitable for any level
Party from 8pm

Check out the event for more details

Keen to enter our new routine division? Want to know a bit more about choreography? We have just the thing for you!

At 11am on Sat 25 April, Bameo (a.k.a Ben and Cameo McHenry) are joining us online to share their expertise and answer any questions you may have about choreography.

The Shakedown crew will also be available to answer questions about our new routine division.

You must have registered and paid for Shakedown to attend - but if you can't make it, just DM the Shakedown social media accounts and ask for the recording.

The link to the session will be posted here closer to the time: https://www.facebook.com/events/940950668786878/

🐣 Yes! We’re dancing this Thursday! 🐣

With Easter weekend just around the corner, we’re still running class as usual this Thursday night - and it’s the perfect way to head into a long weekend.

Whether you’re looking to move, unwind, or kick things off with something a bit different, come join us for a night of West Coast Swing, good music, and great company.

No partner needed, beginner friendly, and always a good time.

See you on the dance floor! 💃🕺

Do you see what I see? 👀🧐

WHITE Urban Swing Tees!

You may have noticed a sneaky someone wearing this cool new version at Swingvasion recently.
(You may also not have noticed because Urban Swing's youngest, and arguably CUTEST student grabbed your attention instead... and to be fair, we don't blame you if this was the case).

So yes; white tees are now available. We love how fresh they look, and give a great alternative option to the OG black ones.

We also have a fancy new order form on our website, so pop along and submit your order now:
