Shakedown Swing 2025 - West Coast Swing dance weekend

Learn from top professional West Coast Swing dancers, meet people from around the world, social dance, and compete. Proudly brought to you by Code 03 Swing.

Top US professional dancers Ben Morris, Tara Trafzer, and Conor McClure are coming to Ōtautahi, and we're also welcoming back Zac and Maddy from Australia to our teaching lineup this year.

West Coast Swing is an improvised 'random partner, random song' style of partner dancing that's making waves on social media.

Whether you've danced West Coast Swing before or are completely new to the dance style, Shakedown Swing will have a workshop for you over the weekend.

There are also inspirational performances from our teaching lineup, plenty of social dancing to practice your new techniques, and lots of friendly faces to meet. We'd love to see you there.
