Mad Cat Swing

Make your event a fun and memorable one by adding authentic swing dancers! Mad Cat Swing is the official performance team of Sugar Swing Dance Club. Our highly skilled dancers perform lively, challenging, and refined routines that represent dance forms from the 1920s through to the 1950s. Sit back and be entertained, or have your audience join the fun with short beginner lessons. We’ve worked with bands, festival personnel, event planners, and choreographers on a number of gigs to perform and demonstrate swing dance.

If you want to theme your event, we can do 1920’s Charleston, 1930’s & 1940’s Lindy Hop & Swing, and 1950’s & 1960’s Jive dancing. Whatever the occasion, we have a solution.
