Melbourne Lindy Exchange

This week, on May 26th, the swing dance community celebrates World Lindy Hop day. This date was the late Frankie Manning's birthday; you can read a bio on the Frankie Manning Foundation’s website, as well as donating to support their work. How will you be celebrating?

Our second gorgeous venue is a true Melbourne classic, Collingwood Town Hall. It’s a beautiful space, it’s easy to get to, and there are plenty if pizza places nearby to get that all-important dance fuel We cant wait to welcome you all through its doors this November!

You asked, we answered! Super excited to announce our first venue for this year’s event: Brunswick Town Hall. In arguably the coolest part of town, you can find great cafes, awesome shops, delicious restaurants… it’s so very ✨melbourne✨ MLX20: 24th-26th November, 2023

We are STOKED to be able to announce that this years theme centres in on Melbourne, our hometown 💖🏠 Passes Coming Soon™ - in the meantime, keep the 24-26 November 2023 clear in those diaries! 📸: Dmitry Osipenko on Unsplash

Tickets to MLX20 are a little way off just yet, but but do you want our top tip on how to get in on the action, save yourself 💸 AND earn our unending gratitude? 🤫 it's by volunteering! Without our wonderful volunteers, MLX would not run. Have you volunteered at MLX before?

We are SO excited to once again bring you hours and hours of the best dancing around, and one of the ways we do that is with killer music! What's your number one song for a social dance? Why does it always get you out of your seat? 📸: Anthony Cuskelly

A lot of you probably already know the MLX team is catching up regularly to bring you the event you've been missing! ⁠ We will start to make more detailed announcements Soon™ but right now we want to remind you to put those dates in your diaries: November 24-26, 2023! 🗓️🖋️👀⁠
