Welcome to Southern Lights Swing 2027, our 2nd Edition!!!

Keep an eye out for SLS 2027 details which will be dropping soon :-)

This vibrant weekend in nipaluna/Hobart is all about connection, creativity, and community. Dive into inspiring workshops, showcase your skills in competitions, enjoy captivating performances, and dance the night away at our social events.

With time to explore the stunning surrounds that lutruwita / Tasmania has to offer, this is more than just a dance event… it’s a celebration of movement, music, and shared experience. We’re passionate about building a welcoming, inclusive space where dancers of all levels can grow, connect, and share the love of West Coast Swing.

Southern Lights Swing acknowledges and respects the palawa people as the traditional and ongoing owners and custodians of the skies, land and water of lutruwita. We pay our respects to Elders, both past and present.
