Meet Our
Performance Teams
At Sunny City Swing, our performance teams give you the chance to push your skills, master choreography with a deadline, and perform with confidence. We work on demanding material, support each other through the process, and build strong team spirit along the way.
Many of our performers started as students here, and we welcome dancers of all levels to train and grow together — whether you're on our Jitterbug, Lindy Hop, or Shag team. Everyone contributes, everyone belongs.
How Our Teams Train
Training on our performance teams is focused, supportive, and designed to help you grow fast. Each season, we work on a full routine with clear goals, weekly rehearsals, and a strong emphasis on technique, musicality, and teamwork. You’ll learn choreography, refine your fundamentals, and build the confidence to perform in front of an audience — all while being part of a group that celebrates progress at every level.
🟡 Beginner dancers build solid foundations and learn how to dance in sync with a team
🔵 Intermediate dancers push their technique, stamina, and musicality
🔴 All dancers gain performance experience, accountability, and a supportive community
Lindy Team
With a nod to 1950s Hollywood, our Lindy Hop team brought rhythmic flair and vintage charm to the Calgary Dance Stampede. A dynamic blend of teachers, seasoned dancers, and students — including three who only began dancing a year ago — delivered a bold, high‑energy performance.

Calgary Dance Stampede 2026
Huge thank‑you to our Cowtown Jitterbugs for months of dedication, early‑morning rehearsals, and a performance that truly shone. Grateful to Stephen Edward Sayer for the choreography and to Martin Lefebvre for coaching that brought out the best in us. Honoured to perform at Calgary Dance Stampede for the third year.
Thinking about joining a team next season?
While we offer beginner teams at other times of the year, we’re currently looking for dancers with some Lindy Hop experience who are ready to work hard, train consistently, and take on choreography. If that sounds like you, we’d love to connect. info@sunnycityswing.com 825‑454‑2300
