If your usual weekend plans could use a dose of retro glamour, clear your calendar for April 24 to 26 as the Harbourside Swing Fest returns. This three-day event, dedicated to celebrating vintage dance and jazz culture, promises a weekend filled with infectious rhythms, global talent, and immersive experiences that transport participants back to the golden era of Lindy Hop.
Highlights to look forward to include a stellar lineup of instructors from around the world. Headlining the teaching roster are French experts Marion Quesne and Sylvain Guiheneuc, known for their dynamic energy and deep love for Lindy Hop. They’ll be joined by regional powerhouses Adamas Kim from Korea and Sing Lim from Singapore – both of whom trained directly under Lindy Hop legend Frankie Manning and have since built thriving scenes in their home countries. Music takes centre stage too, with a dedicated roster of live jazz performances curated by acclaimed local music director Nate Wong.
One of the festival’s most anticipated activities is the ‘Dance in a Day’ programme that’s perfect for beginners. In a single immersive session, newcomers can go from learning the ropes to dancing the night away at the Harbourside Swing Fest Saturday Night Social. It’s an invitation to experience the full spirit of swing dancing without any prior commitment.
Whether it’s workshops, social dances, competitions, or showcases, there’s ample opportunity to learn from masters, mingle with other dance-loving guests, and get those feet shuffling on the dance floor. Registration is now open, with options for a full weekend pass, party pass, day pass, or workshop pass. Stick around for updates on venues and the full schedule coming soon, or head to their official website to find out more.
