We teach weekly lessons too! If you want to take lessons, this is a good chance to get a vibe of our community here in Edmonton.
Volunteer
We need help for all our dance socials on Fridays and Saturdays, and more! Please contact our organizer (dance@sugarswing.com) if you would like to help at the bar or the door for any of these dances! Also, join our “Sugar Swing Volunteers” Facebook group!
Safety and Inclusiveness
A welcoming, safe, and fun community is what we’re all about! This also requires boundaries and a process for dealing with all levels of harassment. To learn how we empower each other, foster healthy social engagements, please read our code of conduct! http://www.sugarswing.com/code-conduct/
Who is it for?
all-ages
No partner necessary! All ages! Beginner friendly! Many people are in their 20’s and 30’s, though we consistently draw individuals of all demographics and ages!
This is a dry event weekend, so kids are welcome! Adults tend to get the most out of our events. However, if you think your child could get into swing music and dancing, bring ’em along!
