Cape Town Swing
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
The pandemic has kept us off the dance floor for more than a year, and it’s about time that we dust off those jazz pants and get moving a bit – safely, of course. Feel free to join our newsletter (scroll up) to be the first to know about new classes or events.

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.
