Swing Into Spring and Summer
We will be holding one dance each month on the following days:
***Please note that June, July and August dances are planned to be outdoors at Memorial Park Library. We will update the website, FB and IG accounts if we end up moving indoors due to weather or conditions.
We are continuing the Swingin’ Sundays so please come join us. Are you ready for nice weather and dancing outdoors? Our plan is to have our June, July and August dances outdoors at Memorial Park Library. We recognize that our weather can be hard to predict so we do have a back up plan just in case. Make sure you stay tuned here or on our FB or IG pages for details on the location (we will make the call the Friday before the Sunday event).
Free drop in Lesson is at 1pm
Social dance starts at 2pm and goes to 4pm
Next Swinging Sunday will be June 14, 2026

Calgary’s Best Party is back.
For over 25 years The Black & White Ball has maintained the reputation as being “Calgary’s Best Party”. A one of a kind evening where guests gather in their Black & White finest and dance the night away to live music by Penguins on Broadway, enjoy impromptu performances by the DJD Company and guests, bid on fantastic items in the silent auction and more!
The event has a cash bar and light hors d’oeuvres will be served at approximately 10:30pm. (These tasty morsels will not suffice as dinner so please plan accordingly.)

Swing Into Spring! Bonnie Northgraves Quartet
Swing Dance Calgary is so excited to be partnering with Bonnie Northgraves for an incredible night of live music! Bring your favourite pair of dancing shoes because you will want to be on the dance floor all night.
Murder on the Orient ExPLEX
Prairie Lindy Exchange (PLEx) is a roaming swing dance exchange geared towards Western Canadian lindy hop. Come join us in Calgary this year for PLEX!
The theme is "Murder on the Orient Explex" so make sure to travel in style with your finest minks, and sharpen your observation skills as there may well be a mystery to solve!
Our home base for the event will be the Alexandra Dance Hall, but we will be at Fort Calgary for the Saturday night dance.
The weekend's featured band is the 'Brad Shigeta Swingtime Band' (players include Brad Shigeta, Al Muirhead, Noah Gotfrit, and Jon McCaslin), as well as the local band 'Cat's in the Pocket' for Sunday brunch!
A long train ride wouldn't be complete without some entertainment - Saturday evening pre-dance show will be a Cabaret featuring the many talents of our attendees! Got a routine or talent you'd like to share? reach out to us to get more information on how to participate in the show!
