Thursday Main – Welcome home!

Welcome (back) to MLX, time to (re)connect with your dance buddies and make yourself at home.

About the event

MLX is your home for the next few days, so make yourself comfortable, get reacquainted after a year away and settle back into the place where you belong. Show off your home pride, your roots and what makes you feel like home.


This year, we're choosing to support Australian charities instead of taking ticket sales for our Thursday Main Event. We encourage you to donate around $30 to one of the below charities, and we will put your name on the door!

Suggested charities:

Once you've donated, please email melb.lindy.exchange@gmail.com with your receipt. 


Dress suggestions: Colour/s or a theme of your home state (or home country for international dancers).
