Spring Swing Show & Dance Party 2026

Join us for this Swing Patrol tradition, and a highlight of the swing calendar. Dancers from all over Melbourne, from beginners to “old hands”, hit the floor for a night of fun, energy, applause, dressing up, showing off and sensational swing dancing and music. Social dance in a world-class ballroom, to our favourite swing DJs, and, throughout the night, students from Swing Patrol class venues, troupes, and a bunch of our friends, will perform, some for the first adrenalin-pumping time ever.

This “night of nights” is a wonderful way to showcase swing dancing, to inspire the next generation, energise long-time dancers, and show our non-dancing friends what this swing dance thing is all about.

What to expect: a stellar line-up of DJs, playing swing music all night for your dancing pleasure; a complimentary swing dance lesson to get you warmed up with a few moves for the social dance floor; performances from Swing Patrol class venues, troupes and friends in the swing dance community. Plus, a bar on-site, so you can celebrate your performance with a drink. No BYO please. Water bottles ok.
