Swing On In have been asked to organise some Swing Dance Flashmobs like we have done at previous events such As Cooly Rocks On, Gold Coast City Council City Wide Events and Bleach Festival for the GOLD COAST SHOW Weekend.

This is a HUGE opportunity to get to the masses of the General Public of Gold Coast Show Goers. A chance to showcase the joy of dance through Swing Dancing, Rock n Roll & Rockabilly Styles. All are encouraged to come out and dance. Ray will be playing tunes to suit us all over the days.. Surfaces will be varied as we are popping up so some maybe grass, some may be cement and we may even get on to the stage which is timber…

This is a FREE event and for the first time at the glorious Broadwater Parklands, why not bring the kids, the fan, the wider friend circle and in between we can eat fairy floss, ride the ferris wheel and even sneak in a dirty dagwood dog!!

We are Popping up and dancing at the following times, join us for all or whatever day suits you:

Friday night 31 August 2018 – 7.30pm – 8pm
Saturday – 1 September – 11am then 2pm (20 mins each)
Sunday – 2nd September – 11am then 2pm (20 mins each)

Time to bring out your inner child and join us at the show…

WHERE TO MEET:  Located on the Broadwater side of Marine Parade, Southport (opposite Australia Fair) and to the right you will see a big open park space and stage area and further south there is the kids playground and bouncy pillow etc well… there is a big grassy mound/hill and on top of that mound is a oversized statue.., Map below and it is a small walk/stroll from the Broadwater Parklands Light Rail Station.  Map below:  WE WILL BE at the waterside BASE of Position No:  54 (Maddie and Mike Sculpture) ..
