Welcome

Learn some sweet new moves at our classes, come party at our dance socials, or catch us performing some thrilling steps! We focus on old school styles of swing, jazz, tap, house, balboa, lindy hop, and related styles of dance. Check us out!

Beginners always welcome, no partner necessary. Our place strives to be inclusive, supportive, welcoming, and safe, whether dancing or just stopping by. Many people get started by taking a class or just dropping into a dance social.

Things We Do

We offer a variety of classes including House, Jazz, Tap, and Swing. We are best known for Swing and Tap, and in general follow the lineage of jazz style dances and into urban styles like House.

Mad Cat Swing is our Lindy Hop & Jazz performance team, and we showcase these dances in the Edmonton region.

Respect and Gratitude

We honour the origins of each dance form of our expertise, and give our thanks to those originators, including the many Black Americans who created and innovated the things we do – Lindy Hop, Jazz, Tap, and House!
