About Sydney Lindy Hub

Sydney Lindy Hub is an independent, non-profit directory of swing dancing in Sydney and nearby parts of New South Wales.

We do not run the listed events. Each listing links to the dance school, promoter, band, or venue responsible for the event, so always check that source before travelling.

Our goals

1. Dancer-focused

We provide a service for dancers, rather than an advertising platform for promoters. We aim to list events we think our core audience will enjoy, and sometimes that means saying no to a listing.

2. Independent

We are not affiliated with any dance school or organisation, and we don't take money for listings. Hosting costs are covered by donations.

3. Accurate and Up-to-Date

We only show the next 14 days of events on the site, and we try to make sure that everything within that window is correct. Sometimes that can be difficult, so please always check with the event organiser's site.

4. Comprehensive

We try to list every class and every social dancing opportunity within certain criteria: see our Listings Policy for details.

Swing dancing in Sydney

Sydney's scene includes Lindy Hop, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, solo jazz, and related dances. Events range from weekly classes and social nights to live-band dances and occasional workshops.

Finding current information

Organiser pages remain the authoritative source because venues, schedules, and ticket arrangements can change. The public Sydney Let's Swing Dance Facebook group is also a useful place to ask local dancers for current advice.

Colophon

  • The styling of the site was inspired by vintage playbills, magazine listings and event posters. The primary font used is Futura which was designed in 1927.

  • When Futura is not installed (eg. on Windows computers) Jost is used - a free font heavily inspired by Futura which is distributed through Google Fonts

  • The listings and the site design come from the open-source Swing Out London directory, written in Ruby on Rails.
