Welcome to Swing Dance Cumbria.

If you are looking to learn to dance, get active and have fun social dancing, come and join our welcoming community!

This well-established community-run dance group provides weekly classes and regular social dances.

Swing Dance Cumbria was formed in Penrith in January 2015 by Helen and Rich. They first discovered swing dancing in Newcastle and were hooked instantly. They have spent over 15 years attending, then teaching, regular classes, and developing their love of Lindy Hop, Balboa, Solo Jazz and Blues at events around the UK. Thanks to them for introducing Swing Dance to Cumbria and teaching the classes for 11 years.
