Prices update – January 2021

Did you know that Canberra Swing Katz may be registered as a small business, but we run in a not-for profit manner?

That’s because we believe in sharing what we love and making it as accessible as possible. We’ve resisted for YEARS, but sadly we can’t deny any longer that our costs keep increasing.

After all this time we are having to pass on a small increase to class prices, but you can still save a bundle with a pass!

As a thank you to you all for your support and understanding, this is a heads up that prices will be increasing slightly as of NEXT WEEK, so you can still go to our website and buy classes and passes at current prices until Tuesday Jan 12.

Classes are back!

Woohoo! Classes are back next week with your favourite line up of teachers and classes, plus something new(ish)!
