There will be two performances at the location near Swindon Community Hub and Wilko, starting at 2pm.
The Swindon show is one of more than 30 being staged by similar groups throughout the country to mark National Day of Rejoin.
A Swindon for Europe spokesperson said: "Come find us to see the spectacle as we claim the space with the joy of dance itself!
"With the gestures of Spain, Ballet, Italo-Disco, French Cafe, CanCan, German robotics, Irish, English Morris and Hornpipe, Greek, Balkan and Street BreakDance/EuroFolkDance Electro mashup...you'll even get the chance to try a few steps yourself!
"Between the two shows we'll create a fun party atmosphere and hold an open mic session, with warmth of spirit, for for anyone who wants to speak.
"Afterwards we'll perform our second set of 'Dance Europa!'. Then we'll all go for coffee and cakes in the Hub!"
