Cape Town Swing
is a community organisation that shares swing dance, music and culture in the Mother City and beyond.
I’ve never seen a lindy hopper who wasn’t smiling. It’s a happy dance. It makes you feel good.
Coming up
Our team is on a bit of a hiatus as we take a breather during Covid times. Feel free to join our newsletter (scroll up) and you'll be the first to know once we start up again!
What is African Dance?
A series of four online lectures with Maxwell Xolani Rani
Lindy hoppers around the world value an understanding of African Dance. So, we invited Maxwell Xolani Rani (lecturer, choreographer and PhD fellow at the University of Cape Town) to give a series of four lectures on the topic.
Echoes of Sophiatown
After months of transcribing, translating, and practicing the songs at the centre of the Echoes of Sophiatown project, the album at the core of the first project milestone has dropped!
Featuring 12 of the 30 songs transcribed in the first phase of the project, the Echoes of Sophiatown tribute album is now available on CD and vinyl.
