Organiser: That Swing Dance School
On Sunday, 19 April, we’re swinging our doors wide open to anyone who’s curious and up for a dance.
Hop on over and try your own first steps in swing and blues. We don’t just want to show you the dances; we’d also share a cup of tea with you and tell you about their roots and the culture from which they’ve grown. Watch our teachers give their take on the music and the dances.
Drop by, meet the people who bring this place to life, and be part of our circle for a few hours. Once you’ve found your way through our door, you’re already part of it. We hope that after this day you’ll come back and find a place with us to learn and dance.
Meet the That Swing Teachers
At the start of each taster class, the teachers will briefly demonstrate what the dance looks like. This will help you decide whether you’d like to join the class.
