Queen's Birthday long weekend, Friday 9 June Monday 12 June 2017. It's time again for those 4 days and nights of sheer joy and dancing bliss to take over Melbourne! We'll swing the inner city with sizzling music, white-hot dancing, and killer workshops. And the Melbourne International Jazz Festival will be jamming right along with us. The Melbourne Swing Festival operates under the Swing Patrol Code of Conduct to ensure a great time is had by all. If at any time you feel uncomfortable about how someone is behaving toward you or others, please have a word to the staff at the desk and we shall follow up every report or comment. At the evening events there will be a Safe Spaces Officer on duty each night. There will be four learning streams available at MSF 2017, catering for Intermediate, IntermediateAdvanced, Advanced and Really Super Advanced Plus students. Here are some guidelines for deciding which workshop level is right for you. Read the descriptions carefully and, if youre still not sure which level you should be in, have a chat with your regular teachers. Remember that doing a more advanced level than you are ready for will not make you a more advanced dancer and may slow down the teaching for the rest of the class. Please note that if the workshop teachers or MSF organisers feel you are not in an appropriate level, they may move you into a level that is better suited to giving you the tools you need to become a better dancer.
