Your MSF Passes and T-shirts
Everyone who has registered for MSF 2010 receives a wristband (which you will need to show at all events to gain entry) and essential information about the weekend. Your registration pack will be available Thursday night at the ‘Show off yer Shirt Welcome Dance’ event, Friday night at the Melbourne Lindy Battle and at the workshops. T-shirts will also be distributed when you arrive at the desk to register.
Thursday night pints and parmas before shirt showing off
If you’d like to grab a bite before the opening night dance, come along to the Leveson Hotel, 46 Leveson Street, North Melbourne at 6.30pm (it’s close to the Lit. Club) Just look out for the MSF hand fans
Pre-MSF Special at Revs – Wednesday 9 June
Want to get a headstart on MSF? Have a warm up dance at Revs.
Revellers @ Fitzroy is the newest addition to Melbourne's social dance scene where you can take your fidgety feet and swing out to your heart's content. When you need a breather, grab a drink from the bar and chill out for a bit before hitting that floor again..and again..and again! The gang heading up Revs - Evan, Noni, Georgia & Kieran - love their dancing and want to make sure you do too.
Location: Revellers Bar, 50 Johnston Street Fitzroy
Time: 8.30pm onwards.
Costs: $6 for social dancing (free if you join in a class)
Shoes – sticky and fast floors
At any swing event there are usually a lot of different venues with all kinds of floors. If you haven’t danced at one of our Melbourne venues before, please try to bring at least two kinds of shoes in case the floor is sticky or fast. There is nothing worse than being stuck on the sidelines because of unsuitable shoes or fuming ‘cause your perfect pair is at home!
(Thank you to Perth Swing Dance Society & Hullabaloo for the tip)
