Performing

No matter what kind of party or event you're throwing, there's always room for swing dancing. We've worked with birthday parties, bands, musicians, event planners, and choreographers on a number of gigs to perform and demonstrate swing dance.

If you want to theme your event, we can do 1920's Charleston, 1930's & 1940's Lindy Hop & Swing, and 1950's & 1960's Jive dancing. Whatever the occasion, we have a solution.

To discuss rates and for a quote, please contact Birkley at 780-604-7572 or birkley(at)sugarswing.com. Rates will be similar to those described here, but will vary depending on the type and amount of services required.

Mad Cat Swing

Mad Cat Swing is the name of our performance group, consisting of eight dancers. We are a professional performance group and take on work that requires refined routines with dancing suitable for the era of the 1920's through to the 1950's.
