Our live music socials are back! With a new day and location, 2023 socials are bigger and better than ever! Finish your week and your month with some chill vibes, swinging out to some of the best music in town.

*FLOOR POLICY* Folk Hall has pretty much the nicest dance floor in Canberra, and a strict shoe policy to take care of it. There are no heels, hard soles or soles that will mark the floor allowed. Please don’t wear your street shoes (the ones you wear to arrive) while dancing; Bring some clean, soft-soled shoes to change into, and make sure there aren’t any pebbles or similar stuck to the sole. You will be asked to leave the floor if we think your shoes might mark the floor.

Every last Friday of the month
7.30pm-10.30pm
$20 at the door or pre purchase online

Feel free to bring snacks and drinks, or grab a bite beforehand at the nearby Dickson or Watson shops.

On Tuesday and/or Thursday nights YOU could be learning how to do this energetic and tremendously fun social dance! Start in Week 1 or 2 and learn all the basics you need to look and feel great on the dancefloor in just 6 short weeks!

The teaching team is very excited to be running 6-week short course blocks in a wider variety of all things swing than ever before, including Shag, Balboa, Tricks, Solo Jazz, Advanced classes, 20’s Charleston and more!

Thursday Classes

6.30 Thursdays brings you an Open Practice session, which we’re sure will quickly become an essential staple in your dancing week! Come along to run through things at your own pace, social dance with some friends or ask some questions to help you progress and feel even better even faster. There’ll be music playing at a welcoming practice pace and friendly faces to meet and ask for a dance.

7.30 Beginners will continue in the current 6-week format, with a new cycle of teaching partnerships to bring you new perspectives and fresh explanations to enhance your dancing journey. This will be followed as usual by Intermediate class at 8.30pm, which has an updated syllabus in the works 😉
