Swingtown Rebels also works with and sponsors an Incorporated Society, Swinging Town Manatopu which was established in 2025 by an enthusiastic group of local swing dancers to enable running bigger and better local swing dancing events! These events are run in collaboration with Swingtown Rebels in order to utilise some of the existing Swingtown Rebels infrastructure (website, registration software, insurance etc) but are 100% not for profit with any excess funds made going straight back into running more bigger and better events. Swingtown Rebels uses any excess funds accumulated from classes to sponsor Swinging Town Manatopu as well, so it’s a win-win!
