Wear whatever you feel comfortable Flat smooth-soled shoes are the best footwear so that you can slide a little on the floor.

No, we rotate partners throughout the lesson, so you don’t need to have a partner.

Swing dancing is an improvised dance. Although we often learn routines in classes, the aim is to be able to dance socially without a set pattern. The leader is the person who guides most of what happens and initiate movement. Followers read and interpret the leader’s intention. Leaders and followers are not gender-based - you can choose either role.

We run Fundamentals courses in 6 week blocks, so new dancers need to commit to a first block of 6 classes. If you can’t make a class, don’t worry, we will help you catch up. Once you progress and become an Improver/Intermediate dancer, you can attend classes on a drop-in basis.

People joining the Fundamentals class for the first time need to book a 6 week course in advance.

Improver/Intermediate dancers can choose to book courses or to pay as you go (drop in)

Social dancing is where people ask each other to dance, and have fun trying out the moves and styling they have learnt. It is a time when people can either dance, or just socialise and get to know each-other. Time is set aside for social dancing on Wednesdays between 8.45-9.30pm.
