Swinging the Summer Festivals

Melbourne is famous for its festivals and summer brings out some of our favourites. We love getting out in the sunshine for a dance and to show the city this thing called swing. Check out where we are dancing through the summertime and join us for a grand day out!

Changing over to Paypal

As many of you have noticed, we are changing over to a preference for Paypal for our events payments. If you don't have a paypal account you can still use the sytem.

Historically we've used direct deposit and cheques in the mail for our payment systems. These both require much work at our end to find and reconcile payments. It also requires you to enter a code for your payment to our account and is just confusing with too many steps within the transaction. To that end we're requesting people use paypal.

* it's secure

* it looks after all the payments

* it confirms to everyone automatically

* it's cheap

1. If you have a paypal account:

Just transfer from your account to ours.

2. If you do not have a paypal account

Select "Pay by paypal" in our registration system. This will take you to paypal.

You'll get the screen below and at the bottom you will see "DON'T HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT? - Pay with your credit card or debit card"

This will take you to an option to pay by credit/debit without needing to sign up to paypal.

In coming months we'll be changing our booking systems to ensure an easier flowing process for you and for us.
