Learn to dance. It’ll change your life.
Classes are £10 and last at least 45 minutes. Any social dancing that follows the class is FREE for class attendees and £5 for those that miss the class.
No partner is required and you don’t have to sign up for a course of lessons. Just turn up, learn some swing dancing moves, and start having fun, getting fit and making new friends. By the end of even one class you will have some moves enabling you to go swing dancing anywhere in the world. You’ll rotate partners frequently – which helps your dancing as well as encourages you to meet new people.
We teach Harlem swing – improvised, partnered social dancing styles known by numerous names including jitterbug, lindy hop, east coast swing, Charleston (20s & 30s), jig walks and breakaway. Most of today’s popular street dance steps – whether breakin’, hip hop, shufflin’ and more – derive from these original styles.
“Social dancing” is dancing you do for fun with someone else at events, parties, bars, clubs, parks, kitchens, pretty much anywhere that has the space. We’re not interested in performance routines or competitions. We love dancing with people as if nobody’s watching, even if everybody’s watching.
Please aim to arrive BEFORE class scheduled start time as this really helps the registration process go smoothly and helps the teachers to start on time, maintain their concentration and to cover as much content as possible.
MONDAYS – just £10 for both sections
6.30 – 7pm: Beginners: basic footwork and connections. Excellent absolute beginners, relatively new dancers and people who want to be more confident in their connections with dance partners and the combinations of rock steps, triple steps, kicks, pumps and more. If you joined in the Beginners’ class we actively encourage you to stay for the Beginners Plus section the same evening. It won’t cost you a penny more.
7pm – 7.45pm: Beginners Plus: We introduce moves, frames and skills. If you’re already truly confident in your basic footwork and connections, you can skip the Beginners’ section and simply turn up for the Beginners Plus class. We start with a fundamental swing dancing move and introduce variations with the aim of attaining improvers’ level content by the end of the class. If you’re comfortable with the final move of the night, talk to teachers about attending the dedicated improvers’ class on Saturday – as we’ll pursue futher variations on the theme taught in the Beginners’ Plus class.
SATURDAYS – £10 for class + social dancing, £5 for social dancing only
