Put your dancing shoes on, learn some dance moves, and join the Swing Dance Adelaide community in dancing to the tunes of a live band - the appropriately named Garden Animals.
Music and garden loving non-dancers also welcome. Vintage or botanically themed attire encouraged.
The workshop, presented by Matty from Swing Out Adelaide, is suitable for all ages - no swing dance experience or partner required (but registrations encouraged).
This event is made possible with thanks to the generous support of the Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium of South Australia, the Nature Festival, and Swing Dance Adelaide, a not-for-profit volunteer-run organisation.
