You’re in luck! Perth happens to have some of the best social dancing opportunities for it’s resident swing dancers.

First stop is Mustang Bar with live music and free entry every Friday from 7pm to 9:30pm. The regular bands include Harry Deluxe and The Oz Big Band so you’re practically guranteed a great night even if you just stop by to watch the dancing and listen to some great tunes.

Next up is Club Splanky run on the first Saturday of each month. Lots of space (quite different from the ‘stang), cheap entry and great music. Run by the Perth Swing Dance Society, it’s a great night with plenty of beginner friendly tunes and enough space for you to try out all the moves you learn in class that week

Finally for some great tunes on a Saturday afternoon, head down to the Railway Hotel in Fremantle and listen to the Corner House Jazz Band, be warned the music can get a little fast but they are AMAZING!
