F.A.Q.

  • You can start any Monday in Northcote from July 3, and South Yarra from June 26. Fundamentals class starts at 7pm in both locations.

  • Yes! All of our classes will be drop-in from July 3rd.

    Everyone must sign up and pay online.

  • Sounds like you need an online class! 1929 Studios has a host of great online classes and courses, from 40 minute Moving and Grooving sessions to courses that dance you through a whole routine. So you can start right now!

  • All our classes must be paid for online. But you can do that on your phone at home, or standing at the door waiting to start!

  • Yes we do!

    You can buy vouchers for our online classes, and for our in-person parties and classes. More information here.

  • Nope!  Come just as you are! Classes are run in a social format that means everyone gets to meet and dance with each other. It's fun to bring a friend but you'll make plenty of friends from the first class.

  • If someone's touching you in a way you're not ok with, let them know: "Hey, your hand is a bit low, can you move it up here, please?"

    If you don't want to dance, just say "No thank you!" and it's all good.

    And if you're not feeling safe, or if you're worried and need a second opinion, check in with one of our teachers or door managers - we'll help you sort it out!

  • Excellent question. We're very glad you asked. Here are some tips. What do you do if someone says...

    1. "No thank you" when you ask them to dance.

    Be ok with that. They could have any one of a million reasons.

    2. "This is too close for me."

    Stop! Let them go and then ask them, "What is the right distance for you?"

    3. "That hurts!"

    Stop! Say, "I'm very sorry. How could I do this better?"

    Most of us have to learn how to touch other humans in new ways when we start swing dancing. We talk about these things in class, and we LOVE it when people ask for advice - so ask away!

  • We love music and videos! Check out our instagram account and our facebook page. We also have a spotify account!

  • Wear whatever you’re comfortable in!  Jeans and t-shirts, office attire, full-on vintage...it's all good! We also recommend comfortable shoes that stay on your feet (Keds or Converse are popular with dancers.) High heels are not recommended for beginners.
