Thursday Night Swing with Steven Mitchell Band

The monthly anticipated Thursday Night Swing night with the Steven Mitchell Band was held once again and hosted by Swing Zing...

Steven Mitchell and his band were amazing and lent some awesome dance tunes for the dancers to swing away.

The night also paid tribute to the late Frankie Manning. Frankie Manning is one person who needs no introduction in the Swing Dancing world. He was a dance instructor, American dancer, a friend to many people, and also considered one of the founding fathers of Swing Dancing.

The night also said farewell to a Jake Meadley, a dance instructor at Swing Zing, friend to all of us, who has taken up work in Corrigin. We wish him all the best!

Hullabaloo Day 5, My favourites!

We should consider every day lost
in which we do not Dance at least once"

- Nietzsche

We spent the last day of the Perth Lindy Exchange at the beautiful scenic King's Park. It was a sunny afternoon, a lovely picnic had been set up, Giant Jenga... and fellow dancers gathered. 

Onlookers stopped and stared to marvel at the group's obvious circus talent. Thank you to Trevor Hutchinson & Paul Stone who helped with some of these photos. 

Here are some of my favourites...
