24 - 26 November 2023 is our 20th anniversary event! MLX is Melbourne's oldest swing dance dame on the festival block. Good old lindy hop, blues, bal, shag etc
This week, on May 26th, the swing dance community celebrates World Lindy Hop day. This date was the late Frankie Manning's birthday; you can read a bio on the Frankie Manning Foundation’s website, as well as donating to support their work.
How will you be celebrating?
Our second gorgeous venue is a true Melbourne classic, Collingwood Town Hall. It’s a beautiful space, it’s easy to get to, and there are plenty if pizza places nearby to get that all-important dance fuel
We cant wait to welcome you all through its doors this November!
You asked, we answered!
Super excited to announce our first venue for this year’s event: Brunswick Town Hall. In arguably the coolest part of town, you can find great cafes, awesome shops, delicious restaurants… it’s so very ✨melbourne✨

Tickets to MLX20 are a little way off just yet, but but do you want our top tip on how to get in on the action, save yourself 💸 AND earn our unending gratitude?
🤫 it's by volunteering!
Without our wonderful volunteers, MLX would not run. Have you volunteered at MLX before?
We are SO excited to once again bring you hours and hours of the best dancing around, and one of the ways we do that is with killer music!
What's your number one song for a social dance? Why does it always get you out of your seat?
