DANCER OF THE MONTH
Awww it's one of our favourites, it's Natia! Always bringing sweet treats and smiles, we love it when she comes to Swing Central.

HOW DID YOU GET STARTED IN SEING DANCING?
Newtown SwingPatrol with Brock & Derrick. I remember walking by the class one day and being inspired hearing lovely jazz tunes and seeing people having a laugh while learning to dance. It all seemed like so much fun, and it was!

WHAT KEEPS YOU COMING BACK?
Great way to connect with the friends I've made in this excellent community. And it beats going to the gym for exercise!

LINDY HOP, BALBOA, COLLEGIATE S**G, CHARLESTON - WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE AND WHY?
That's tough...I love being able to dance all of these styles. But if I had to pick one, I'd say Balboa... I thought it looked really hard as people usually dance it to fast music but it's not, it's just different steps & styling. And for me, it's easier to dance fast songs with bal than swing.

WHAT MAKES SWING CENTRAL A GREAT PLACE TO DANCE?
I can always count on a wonderful night of dancing at Swing Central, as it brings together lots of fantastic people. It's a great place for new beginners to get started too.

I love helping the dance community grow, so if you're still finding your (dance) feet and hesitant who to ask, feel free to ask me for a dance anytime!

DJ ANNOUNCEMENT #3
It’s DJ Ben! We love when Ben comes to play for us at Swing Central because he knows what makes a Lindy Hop Party Hit and will keep those fun, swingin’ tunes rolling. Once he starts the first song, you’re sure to find yourself up and out of your seat and on the dance floor. Get ready for a fantastic way to end the week, Friday 9 May.

We want to give a HUGE shout out to Jono, who has gone above and beyond for us recently. Our trusty oversized floor fan stopped working last month and Jono volunteered to take it home and try to get it working again. He tried several different options and kept us informed over the weeks. The fan couldn't be rescued (don't worry - we've got a new one ready for Friday) but his kindness and dedication to try to help us is exactly what makes us love our Swing Dance community so much. Cheers Jono!! From Merilyn & Christina.

DJ ANNOUNCEMENT #2
It's Hana! We are so excited to welcome her back to Swing Central. She started playing for dancers last year and has already had an international gig at the Bali Lindy Exchange. Hana is a wonderful presence in the Sydney dance scene and we can't wait to hear her tunes this Friday 8 May.

DJ ANNOUNCEMENT #1
Azi is back! 🎉🎉 Azi has been dancing lindy hop since 2016 but loving jazz since childhood. Starting in Sydney, Azi has shared his cherished jazz collection overseas in New Zealand and Canada and is excited to spin a few tunes that are in vogue in Montréal this time of year.

See you this Friday 8th May!

We had a hot & humid & FUN time last Friday - see you again on Friday 8th May! Hopefully without the humidity 🤞

Thanks for coming to Swing Central and bringing all the dancing joy. See you next time!
