Central Highlands Swing Dance Community
Have you ever wanted to learn partner dancing?
Swing Dance lessons for beginners and for dancers wanting a bit more of a challenge. The classes run in blocks of 4 - 6 weeks. We have a new beginner intake at the start of each new block.
We host events, workshops, regular classes and get involved with festivals.
Partner dancing class is on at 6.30 pm till 7.30 pm
This class will incorporate beginners level moves and is suitable for beginners but will also cater to those who have experience. We dance with partners to learn lead and follow. There are no set routines and we learn new content every block.
You do not need a partner as we rotate partners throughout the class.
Solo Jazz - and routine based swing 7.30 pm till 8.30 pm
In this class we will learn different variations of common swing moves to add into our partner dancing or to be able to dance call and response.
Routines like the Shim Sham and other group dances where we all dance the same steps will also be learned in this class.
Which class do I choose?
Most of our students will do both classes. You can do one or the other if you like.
Thursdays from 23 October to 27 November
$200 per person (for both classes)
$120 for Partner dancing (5 weeks)
$100 for Solo Jazz (4 weeks)
We ask that you register for the entire block. Attending casually doesn't work in this instance.
Sarah Johnston is our teacher and she is fabulous.
There will be no class 6 November (take this week off)

Soul Dance
Soul Dance is held in the Wayapurra Hall at the CNC.
See their Facebook for event updates and schedule @ Soul Dance- Goldfields region VIC
Events are usually held on a Sunday once per month.
For new participants...this is a conscious dance experience. There are no steps to learn, just come and move how you feel moved. Wear comfy clothing, and bare feet or socks or dance shoes. Bring an open heart, and allow yourself to go on your own journey with the music. This is a class designed for adults and older teens. This can be a deeply meditative journey for some, and an opportunity to let go and be free for many others, so this means that spectating on the sidelines is not welcomed, but participation is. There are some opportunities to connect with other dancers, but also the wish to be solitary is respected.
A chair or two are available in the center of the room for those who are unable to stand to dance.
We start the dance with approx. 20 mins of music to do your own warm up and feel present in the space. This is part of the dance.
As this is a day time event, there may be those who wish to include younger people. Older children who are able to give dancers personal space, and wish to dance, are welcome, though must be supervised. This may not be a space suitable for toddlers and very young children due to risk of injury. This is also a digital device free space, other than for music tech requirements. For the privacy of others, and to keep us present, which is part of the conscious dance experience, no photos or filming are welcome.
We will have free chai and chats available.
Free hugs also available. Come and try.
$20 for adults, or whatever you can afford.
