Our space is available to accommodate a small to mid sized church or weekly assembly on Sunday mornings! This is a shared, multi-use facility.

It is a beautiful facility in the heart of Old Strathcona. We have parking, and easy access to Whyte Ave & 99 street. You would have access to the spacious main floor of 1800sqft and optional upstairs of 1400sqft (2800sqft per floor) for additional cost, 3 washrooms per floor, two kitchens, included sound system on both floors, tables & chairs, some storage space -- everything a small-to-mid church needs. The main floor is suited for assemblies of 30-141 people.

Sugar Swing Community of Jazz is a non-profit organization, operating a multi-use community & arts facility. We use the space for our own needs (swing & jazz music events), while renting the space for family gatherings, performances, events, rehearsals, and various users.

Rates scale depending on the facility requirements; currently we are seeking a Sunday morning/afternoon user for the main floor with the option for using the upstairs.
Lowered Price! Asking $1800/mo for main floor; $2400/mo for entire building until Sunday afternoon (classes at 2pm).

Notes:
* The facility is used by multiple users at various times; extra usage is subject to availability
* UNAVAILABLE for 2-4 Sundays per year due to three festivals a year (one in late June/July, Fringe Festival in August, and late September/October)

* Rental fees include sound equipment usage, storage, maintenance, utilities, and weekly venue cleaning. Setup, tear-down, and after-use cleaning is required by church. Negotiable.

Success! Stardust was such a great festival full of dancing, with so many people coming out every day to enjoy stellar music and many fun moments. It felt like a true festival, and thank-you dancers for coming out. Our musicians made superb music, and big thanks to Brad Shigeta and Josh Roberts for making the trip out from Vancouver to play. Thank you Pj Perry , , Mboya Nicholson Music , Dan Skakun, Paul Johnston for all your efforts and all your playing.

Huge props to my volunteers and staff this weekend. We could not have enjoyed the weekend without your help!

Come check out our event!

The dancing this weekend is gonna be gooooood! We are excited to announce that our team, Mad Cat Swing, is performing at the Saturday night social dance! Other things to mention - we will be featuring a silly "doubles mix n match" contest and other fun party games on Friday Night. Saturday daytime we invite you to join us for our "meet-up" group tours at 11am, followed by a lindyhopper's picnic at Hawrelak Park in the afternoon. On Saturday night, we got a real mix n match scheduled, late-night dancing, and that performance. Sunday we will be setting up for an outdoor dance event, for our "parking lot party".

See you there!
