**World Shim Sham Day Video:**

On 26 May, we gathered on the beautiful shores of Kingscliff Beach as a vibrant community of swing dancers to share and celebrate Frankie Manning’s birthday by participating in a worldwide Shim Sham.  A compilation video has been put together by the fabulous Marketa Cekanova from Uganda!  Swing On In features six times, and we are so proud to be dancing with and alongside many countries around the world, including the US, the UK, Europe, Southeast Asia, and many more. Lindy Hop really does bring the world together. Thank you to everyone who participated.  See video HERE

 

**Upcoming Festival: BLEACH*

I am working on a festival called Bleach. This is an arts and culture festival in its 13th year. Some of you may love to come out and enjoy the Gold Coast music network, free entertainment all weekend, or see some arts and culture, theatre, and contemporary dance. All this wonderful work is made in place.  This is what I get up to when I’m not teaching dancing.

Welcome to the 2024 BLEACH* Festival!We invite you to adventure with us and experience a different side to this city across two big weekends. From North Burleigh headland to the rolling green hills of Tallebudgera Valley; from the ebb and flow of Nerang River to the rooftop of HOTA, the 13th BLEACH* Festival invites audiences to ‘listen to their heart’ and discover epic and intimate out-of-the-box experiences connected to our place – Australia’s Gold Coast.BLEACH* is the Gold Coast’s annual contemporary arts festival. The festival is proudly local, celebrating the city’s incredible landscape and using it as the backdrop to stage world-class artworks created by some of Australia’s finest artists.Visit the what’s on page for the full program.
