Hi everyone, With Queensland's border closed and community transmissions in hand, restrictions on dancing have lifted! So next week (7th Sept) we will be reigniting our boosters and relaunching Tuesday Balboa and Thursday Lindy classes. See you on the dance floor! We teach Lindy Hop, Balboa, Solo Jazz, and special classes from beginner to advanced levels in Brisbane.
Corner Pocket Swing regularly has a variety of different workshops with local, interstate and international instructors. Corner Pocket runs a monthly "Pocket Dance" where you can try out all the awesome moves and steps you've been learning in class to some of the greatest DJed swing music ever recorded.

Services
We specialise in teaching the vintage swing dances of the 1920s, 30s and 40s. We believe in creating an environment where people can be themselves and connect with others around the shared love of swing music, culture and dance. We believe that people have the right to be able to fully participate and feel safe without judgement.
These classes are aimed at beginners looking to fast-track their learning or cement knowledge gained from weekly classes, dancers wishing to learn the other lead/follow role and those unable to attend regular weekly classes. These workshops will cover similar material in the three-hour session that would normally be covered in a four-week period.
A Recreational Structured Partner Dance for Corner Pocket Swing students - 3.5 hours of DJed swing music. No beginner class beforehand, just lots of dancing to some of the best swing dance music ever recorded. Get it while it's hot! A taster class and 3 hours of DJed swing music for Lindy Hop, Balboa, Shag, and solo jazz.
The Pocket Dance is our monthly opportunity to get together with other swing students to dance all those moves you've been learning. Dancing with all your new friends is what swing is all about! The Queensland Chief Health Officer's team together with Ausdance QLD, Arts Queensland, and representatives of the partner/social dance community have met to work out the safe return of dance events like our "Pocket Dance".
We believe in creating an environment where people can be themselves and connect with others around the shared love of Swing music, culture and dance. We believe that people have the right to be able to fully participate and feel safe without judgement. Help us build an amazing and creative community full of life, happiness and most importantly incredible dancing.

Wonderful enthusiasm for the dance and utter enjoyment to show dancers how. It is contagious. An excellent variety of dance styles on offer. And Wednesday night jazz and more means I want to dance every night of the week. I like having teacher blocks. Each dance pair brings their own style and moves, which keeps interest on high alert.

If you are considering doing a class with Corner Pocket you absolutely should, I have never felt anything but welcome and encouraged. The class format is great and I always feel like even if I'm "not getting it" that I can ask for help and that I'm not being judged or looked down on.
If you are a first timer considering joining up, don't feel too worried about when in the year you start coming, everything is taught as a standalone move or set of moves, and there is never any expected knowledge for any of the beginner classes. I started with one of their Saturday classes and it was a great way

My wife and I learnt our wedding dance from Matt and Alice at Corner pocket swing. They are amazing teachers, turning us from complete beginners into semi-pro swing dancers to the amazement and surprise of our wedding guests. We are so glad we put in the effort to learn, and incredibly grateful to Matt and Alice for all the patience they had with us and effort they put in behind the scenes to choreograph our dance. They let us film them at the end of every 1 hour lesson (we had 6 lessons over 6 weeks) so we had accurate study material to practice before the next lesson. I highly recommend them
