Following its sold-out success at the 2026 Maynardville Festival, Cape Town City Ballet proudly presents the electrifying return of Sean Bovim’s Swingtime. A dazzling celebration of rhythm, style, and sheer theatrical joy.
Swingtime invites audiences into the world of Mr Bojangles, the charismatic owner of the legendary Swing Club, a place where music wasn’t just heard; it was lived. Through his eyes, we are transported to a time when life moved to the beat of brass bands, elegance ruled the dance floor, and romance was sweet, hopeful, and sometimes mischievous.

As Mr Bojangles wanders through his memories, we encounter past loves, relive the thrill of youthful dance-offs, and delight in the unforgettable antics that made the Swing Club the place to be. Each moment is rich with nostalgia, charm, and storytelling that draws audiences deeper into this vibrant world.
