Our chance to say thank you! Let's get Sibby to Southern Blues in Adelaide!

Sibby (aka Siobhan) has poured countless hours of unpaid labour (and love) into our local and national dance community. Yet she's only ever been able to attend one Australian dance exchange! Let's work together to get Sibby to Southern Blues. It's our big gift and thank you for the events, teaching, support, and encouragement she has given to our beloved Swing and Blues dance communities throughout Aotearoa over the last decade.

Flights Dunedin-Adelaide return cost $1000 NZD. The event ~$300AUS. Every dollar counts, but please only give if you are in a financial position to do so.

Sibby's impact:

• Dunedin Swing Festival: Her skilled leadership (with an excellent team) made DSF a highlight of the dance year, providing so many important moments of dance education, experience, and connection that have boosted the wider scene for many years.

Karitane Blues: She co-created this event which ran in 2017 & 2018, transforming the blues dance scene in NZ.

• 10yr Swing Riot committee volunteer who took on marketing, big events, teaching, and more!

• Connecting local musicians and dancers, teaching kids jazz, taking part in street performances.

• Supporter, performer, competitor, encourager, teacher, remote committee member at events like Lounge Blues, Oamaru Jazz Festival, Chch Swing Festival, PCX, Auckland Blues Fest, etc!

• Exceptional friend and inspiring dance partner to many.

Thanks to Southern Blues for working with us!
