First hosted in Saskatoon in 2005, PLEX has roamed all over the prairies and has landed not only in Saskatoon, but in Winnipeg, Minneapolis, Calgary, Lethbridge and Edmonton as well. In some years it was a bi-annual event happening in March and August, however it moved to an annual event as more and more dance events around the globe started to fill our calendars.
This year PLEX will be held in Winnipeg!
From its beginnings, PLEX has been a social, community building event built to bring the prairie dance scenes closer together through cross-scene support, and long lasting friendships. Although PLEX was initiated to bring prairie swing dancers together this grass roots lindy exchange attracts attendees from across Canada and the Mid-West United States.

Swing Into Spring! Bonnie Northgraves Quartet
Swing Dance Calgary is so excited to be partnering with Bonnie Northgraves for an incredible night of live music! Bring your favourite pair of dancing shoes because you will want to be on the dance floor all night.
Murder on the Orient ExPLEX
Prairie Lindy Exchange (PLEx) is a roaming swing dance exchange geared towards Western Canadian lindy hop. Come join us in Calgary this year for PLEX!
The theme is "Murder on the Orient Explex" so make sure to travel in style with your finest minks, and sharpen your observation skills as there may well be a mystery to solve!
Our home base for the event will be the Alexandra Dance Hall, but we will be at Fort Calgary for the Saturday night dance.
The weekend's featured band is the 'Brad Shigeta Swingtime Band' (players include Brad Shigeta, Al Muirhead, Noah Gotfrit, and Jon McCaslin), as well as the local band 'Cat's in the Pocket' for Sunday brunch!
A long train ride wouldn't be complete without some entertainment - Saturday evening pre-dance show will be a Cabaret featuring the many talents of our attendees! Got a routine or talent you'd like to share? reach out to us to get more information on how to participate in the show!
