Swing Patrol

To make your event really swing! Our dancers can perform a choreographed show or with notice we can tailor something to suit your special event needs. We can provide a single couple, or up to 40 dancers, as your gig requires.

If you're planning an event, consider involving us to:

SET THE SCENE - by dancing as people arrive and take their seats

GET THE NIGHT OFF TO A GREAT START - by performing to warm up the crowd before the band starts

MAKE THEIR NIGHT - with a short social swing dance lesson to get guests out of their seats, moving and mingling

START THEM SWINGING - by dancing to the band after the lesson

NEED A BIG BAND? - We dance regularly with the B# Big Band and Michael McQuaid's Red Hot Rhythm Makers so for an amazing night, you can put together a whole package!

Swing Patrol has three dynamic performance troupes: Harlem Shout, Bluebelles and Brat Pack.

Harlem Shout is Swing Patrol's premier swing dance team, performing for corporate crowds, events, festivals and gigs all around town. Harlem Shout dancers are stylish and energetic, and with routines ranging from 1920s charleston to big band lindy hop with flying aerials, they can add the marvellous spirit of the swinging jazz era to your next themed event.

Bluebelles are our all-female dance troupe, specialising in 1920s charleston and solo jazz. Cheeky and sophisticated by turn, the Bluebelles bring the '20s back to life.

Brat Pack is a developmental troupe, pushing the boundaries of their knowledge in performance swing dance. You will see Brat Pack performing around Melbourne at public events wowing the crowds with their energy and dynamic style.
