Swing Den - Autumn/Winter 2024
Swing Den is a social dance especially for beginners (though everyone is welcome). There’ll be a taster lesson at the start of the night and two teachers on hand throughout the evening to answer your questions and to help you develop your moves.
Dress up or dress down for the evening. Keep in mind that swing dancing involves lots of moving about and activity, so be sure to wear some comfy shoes.
In partnership with Swing Patrol.
