Swingvolution (Lindy/Balboa Workshop in Lethbridge)
Get Ready for Swingvolution April 17 & 18, 2026!
Swingvolution is Lethbridge's Annual 1 Day Workshop & Exchange! We'll feature a full day of great classes from great instructors, and 2 nights of social dancing with live music!
In the world of swing dancing, finding high-quality workshops tailored for early skill dancers can be a challenge. As events grow, they often attract top-tier talent and higher registration costs, making it intimidating for newer dancers.
We believe there's more than enough talent and passion for lindy hop, balboa, charleston, shag, blues (& more!) right here in the prairies, waiting to be shared with everyone.
Our goal is simple: keep things affordable, accessible, and community‑rooted. Familiar teachers know our dancers, our scenes, and how to guide us on our swing dance journey.
This one‑day workshop welcomes dancers from across the prairies, not just Lethbridge. We can’t wait to share our community, our hospitality, and a full day of learning and joy.
