Each and every Tuesday night, The Basement transforms into a den of big brass and swing dancing. Join us from 7pm for a complimentary Swing Dance Class presented by Swing To It Sydney. Make sure you stick around and put your moves to the test as special guests, The Finer Cuts play 2 sets from 8:30pm, with a little extra swinging lesson in between sets.

The Finer Cuts 

Keeping the New Orleans Jazz traditional tunes alive and adding many new compositions of their own, the Finer Cuts are quickly developing a large and excitingly diverse repertoire. Bringing listeners a high energy jumpin' band, the mixing of old with young blood is already proving to be a huge success with both young and (the more) mature audiences.

Swing To It Sydney

Swing To It Sydney are Sydney's specialists when it comes to Swing dancing. Swing dancing originated in the late 1930s and reached it's peak in the 1940s with Big Bands led by Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, and Count Basie. These Bands had the lads jumping and jiving in dance halls across the world.

Dance halls were the night clubs of the day and many had more than 1000 people swing dancing most nights of the week! To name a few, The Savoy Ballroom, The Cotton Club and The Trocadero are some of the legendary dance halls where Swing reigned supreme!!

Although the classic 40s era may be over, the music, dancing and fashion still lives on today! Some old timers even say that there are more people swing dancing worldwide today than back in the 40s. Neo-swing artists, such as Royal Crown Revue, Cherry Poppin Daddies and Michael Buble, have Swing music still hitting the charts today!

Swing To It Sydney specialise in teaching Lindy Hop (the most popular style of Swing dancing) as well as other styles like Collegiate Shag, St Louis Shag and Balboa. Whether you want to simply learn the ropes to Swing dancing or want to go all the way and become an advanced swing dancer, we can take you there.
