This is a fun, achievable and very relaxed session, designed especially for absolute beginners.

The aim is simple: learn a few swing dancing steps, get a feel for what swing dancing is all about, and have plenty of laughs along the way.

You’ll get expert tuition in a safe, friendly and supportive environment, with no pressure and absolutely no dance experience required. Along the way, we’ll sprinkle in a few nuggets about the history of swing dancing and the music that makes it so infectious.

It’s a great way to meet new people, get moving, try something completely different and discover just how much fun swing dancing can be.

Come as you are. We’ll get you dancing!

TICKET OPTIONS:
This is a partner dancing workshop. You will be required to book as either a Lead or a Follow (Pair Pass, for one Lead + one Follow, available for one-click booking). We don't mind which role you choose.

NEW! - Switch Pass - Aiming to make these partner dancing workshops accessible to as many people as possible, we've introduced a new ticket option. If you're keen to attend, eager to dance, and don't mind which dance role you do, consider booking a Switch Pass. Gives you guaranteed entry to the workshop (regardless of current Lead:Follow ratio) and the role you dance in the workshop will be decided by attendee numbers on the day. Great for your learning, and good for the community.

Book ahead and save! Cheaper Early Bird price applies for tickets purchased before 10 January 2027.

Please arrive a few minutes before the advertised start time, to check in and be ready to dance at the start of the session.
