Swing Patrol Hawthorn At Hawthorn Bowling Club

Hiya Swing Patrol Hawthorn! It's spring and as the weather slowly starts to warm up we have some fantastic hot jazz coming your way!

This Monday 7th September 2026 it is Sarah (Swing Patrol Oakleigh) filling in for Monique (unexpected illness) and Ernie continuing their classes at Hawthorn.

Level 1 - 6:45pm beginners -8 count lindy hop. It is the rhythm most used for our social dancing. More fun, more variations, more fundamentals coming your way. Join in anytime! 🙂

Level 2 - 8pm intermediate. Last practice before the Performance ball routine. Time to ask all of those questions, revise the routine and polish and chat about performance vibes! Looking forward to seeing everyone :) We have a great crew :)

See you all on Monday! Sarah and Ernie :)
