Come celebrate an awesome year of dancing with us!
We’re excited to have Tessa Smith & The AppleJacks coming up from Leeds for one last party before the break. There will be no class on the night, just lots of social dancing to an excellent band!
As always we will provide some treats, and you can BYOB.
Thursday the 19th of October is our next band night, and this time it’s FREE!
We’ll start with the last class of this Beginners’ term at 7.30 as usual.
From 8.30-10.30 we’ll have extended social dancing to live music with King Louis and the Primas.
We’ll provide some nibbles, and you can also BYOB.
There’s no charge for the entire night, so come along and show off everything you’ve learned this term!
Set your alarms! Tickets for Winter Swing Weekend go on sale this Sunday 9 July at 5pm on Dancecloud.
We’ve extended this term 4 extra weeks, so we’ll have extra beginners classes every week until Thursday 13th July.
Social dancing as usual with mixed intermediate/advanced classes downstairs as well as open practice sessions upstairs afterwards.
We then get kicked out of the LifeCare centre for the summer so they can do some renovations. Our next term for beginners will start on an amazing new floor on Thursday 7th September!

This Thursday the 20th of April we’ll be learning Frankie Manning’s version of the Shim Sham from 7:30pm!
The Shim Sham was originally created by Leonard Reed and Willie Bryant as a tap dance. Frankie adapted it for Lindy Hoppers during the swing revival in the late 1980’s.
This fun dance with funky jazz steps is suitable for all levels and performed on social dance floors around the world so is a really good one to add to your repertoire.
Then from 8:30-10:30, we’ll have social dancing to the wonderful sounds of King Louis and the Primas.
We’ll provide some nibbles, and you can also BYOB.
