The Hullabaloo Hoppers

The Perth Swing Dance Society performance troupe, The Hullabaloo Hoppers, is comprised of a group of passionate swing dancers based here in Perth. Our vibrant floorshows and performances show 'Swing' as it was danced in the 1920s, 30s and 40s.

At the Perth Swing Dance Society we have an affinity with the music, lifestyle, fashion and dance of the Swing era that nobody else in town can match! Whatever your upcoming occasion may be, we can add atmosphere and fun to the event.

The Hullabaloo Hoppers are available for festivals, outdoor concerts, corporate events, balls, private functions, television, theatre and film.

The Hullabaloo Hoppers wear authentic swing era costume for all performances and love to look the part!

What we can offer:

Social dancing - the Hullabaloo Hoppers can dance socially (ie: with no set routines) to your swing band or bring our own swinginâ tunes on CD. In full vintage attire, the Hullabaloo Hoppers fill the dance floor, adding atmosphere to any event!

Floorshow - the Hullabaloo Hoppers have a large repertoire of choreographed routines that we usually combine into 10-12 minute floorshows. Each floorshow showcases various dances from the swing era. We can perform a single floorshow or perform multiple floorshows throughout your event. These floorshows are energetic, exciting and entertaining, and are a memorable feature of any occasion. Individual routines are 3-4 minutes long each and can also be performed separately.

'Big Apple' Lesson - the Big Apple was a hugely popular group dance from 1937 on. Danced in a circle, it is fun, easy and suitable for all ages. No dance experience is needed. The Hullabaloo Hoppers gather the crowd and walk them through some fun and easy steps, to a swinginâ tune. Our Big Apple lesson is a great way to get the crowd actively participating in your event or to encourage people onto the dance floor. The lesson can be between 15 and 40 minutes long, depending on your format.

We can combine any or all of the above for a single occasion, and we are able to tailor a performance to perfectly suit the mood, theme and scale of your event!

We are also available for television, film and theatre performances where authenticity of the dance and wardrobe is needed.
