/ NEW BEGINNERS CAN START 12, 19 or 26 MAY /Step into the timeless joy of swing dancing every Tuesday night at Katoomba with the Sydney Swing Katz. Right in the heart of the Blue Mountains, the dance floor comes alive with the charm of swing and Lindy Hop, taught by some of Australia's most experienced instructors. These classes aren't just about steps — they're about unleashing your inner dancer and connecting with the music (and the people you're dancing with) in a whole new way. Whether you're a complete beginner or a regular on the social dance floor, come join us for a night of laughter, learning, and plenty of fancy footwork.
So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to swing and sway your way through the week with the Sydney Swing Katz.
/ 6:30 PM — BEGINNERS SWING & LINDY HOP /
Always wanted to dance to that classic Big Band sound? Our beginners swing and Lindy Hop class is the perfect place to start. You'll learn the foundation steps that have kept dancers smiling since the 1930s — taught with patience, plenty of laughs, and zero pressure. No partner needed, no experience required, and no need to be "good at dancing" — just turn up in flat shoes, leave the nerves at the door, and we'll take care of the rest.
New to swing? Start with us on 12, 19 or 26 May, or wait until the next beginners' block in July.
/ 7:30 PM — INTERMEDIATE SWING & LINDY HOP /
Already got the basics under your feet? Our intermediate swing and Lindy Hop class is where things really start to swing. We'll deepen your connection in leading and following, work on more complex moves and combos, sharpen your footwork variations, and help you develop the musicality and styling that turns steps into dancing. We recommend completing the beginner's course first. Come ready to play, experiment, and dance with some of the best in the room.

/ FAQ /
* Am I too old / too young?
Our classes attract a wide age range — from people in their 20s right through to folks in their 70s. There's no "right" age to start dancing, and you'll find a friendly mix on the floor every week.
* What do I wear?
Flat shoes and comfortable clothing. Some dancers love to get all dressed up, while others just wear what makes them happy. A dance class can be a bit of a workout, so dress accordingly — but if you want to get dolled up, you won't be the only one.
* Do I need a partner?
Come alone, bring a friend, or invite a whole group. We encourage rotating partners in class — it's the best way to improve, and it's how you'll meet the friendly faces you'll keep seeing on the social dance floor. Teachers and performance troupe members step in, too, so it's a great chance to learn from some of the best dancers in Australia.
* Do we have to swap partners?
We encourage swapping because it's the fastest way to improve, but you're more than welcome to stay with one partner the whole class. We want everyone to feel comfortable.
* Do I need to book?
We recommend booking online, but you're welcome to drop in and pay on the day. Cash and card are both accepted.
