You can list your event on the Swing Festival Calendar or go further and run the whole registration flow through Swingaround. Head to create a new event to get started.
Listing vs. Full Hub
The first thing you’ll pick is your event mode. A listing is a simple info page with your dates, location, dance styles, and a link to your website. It shows up in the calendar and that’s it.
A full hub gives you everything: pass sales, Stripe payments, scheduling, competitions, custom forms, and attendee management. You can always upgrade a listing to a full hub later.
Setting up the basics
Fill in your event name, dates, city, country, region, and timezone. Add a cover image and logo. The system generates a shareable URL from your event name and year, so you can start promoting right away.
Events can be owned by your dancer profile or by an organization you manage. You can also create a new organization on the spot during setup.
Passes and pricing
Create pass categories like full pass, party pass, day pass, comp-only, or workshop-only. Each category gets one or more price tiers with their own capacity limits, start/end dates, and role-based caps for lead, follow, and switch. When a tier sells out, it can auto-advance to the next price level.
Schedule and venues
Build out your schedule day by day. Each item can be assigned to a venue room, linked to pass categories, and tagged with instructors. The system flags scheduling conflicts automatically.
Co-hosts, teachers, and community
From the edit page, add co-hosts, teachers, bands, and DJs. You can also spin up community clubhouses for housing, rideshare, food, and local tips alongside your event.
Good to know
- You’ll need to connect Stripe before accepting paid registrations. Free events skip Stripe entirely.
- Events must have an end date on or after the start date.
- Once your event is live, check the help article on managing registrations for tools to track attendees, export data, and issue refunds.
