Prices update – January 2021

Did you know that Canberra Swing Katz may be registered as a small business, but we run in a not-for profit manner?

That’s because we believe in sharing what we love and making it as accessible as possible. We’ve resisted for YEARS, but sadly we can’t deny any longer that our costs keep increasing.

After all this time we are having to pass on a small increase to class prices, but you can still save a bundle with a pass!

As a thank you to you all for your support and understanding, this is a heads up that prices will be increasing slightly as of NEXT WEEK, so you can still go to our website and buy classes and passes at current prices until Tuesday Jan 12.

Classes are back!

Woohoo! Classes are back next week with your favourite line up of teachers and classes, plus something new(ish)!

Have you done our beginners course, but want a little more before joining intermediate, or you want to brush up on your fundamentals? Then BEGINNERS+ is the class for you! This short session after our Tuesday beginners class is tailored each week to specifically target areas you want to work on to feel more confident and have even more fun on the dance floor.

Classes are held at Majura Hall Dickson at 7:30pm. It’s $13 per class or $65 for a 6-week pass.
Tuesday nights are now Beginners+. This new course is beginner friendly but will touch on some more core concepts and techniques.

You can register for more than one session, but please read the note on pricing below. You can turn up on the night and see if there are any spaces available, but we strongly discourage this.

We’ve listened to your feedback and are really excited about our condensed program for Thu June 25 and Thu July 2. Classes are shorter to allow for sanitation between classes, so we’ll be making the most of the time we’ve got with lots more dancing!
