Not only does this night present a great night of competition full of high-drama and excitement, it’s a fantastic chance for all to social dance the night away… and your entertainment for the evening is the Australian Jitterbug Championships!
So everyone, bring your dancing shoes and come and celebrate swing dancing in its various exciting forms. Then watch or compete as the excitement of the championships unfolds. Bring your cameras and film your heart out as we won't be making a DVD this year.
