Also on offer: Enticer (200m/2km), and a Kids Race.
When: 6.30am to 11.30am
Where: Victoria Park Lake
Cost: Entry fees dependent on category (see the website for details)
Swing Patrol Melbourne will be running a Swing workshop organised by the Cool Cat Rockers Shepparton in Mooroopna on at Mooroopna Hall. The workshop will be Lindy Hop, a style of swing dancing that emerged in the 1930s. No two dancers look the same, as everyone puts their own style into the movements. While it differs from the usual Rock’n’roll the Cool Cats are known for, it is hoped that if there is enough of an appetite for it, they can do more workshops in the future and make swing more of a fixture in the local scene.
When: 2pm to 4pm
Where: Mooroopna Hall
Cost: To give it a go, contact Anne on 0429 956 177 to make a $20 prepaid booking
