Bring your friends!

Have you been trying to talk your other half into going to a dance class? Wish more of your friends would have a go at dancing? So do we! More dancers means more dancing for everyone! According to our extensive scientific research (many years of running Swing Dance Leeds), now is the time when inhibitions are at their lowest and everyone is SO bored with winter that they are actually willing to try new things–whoop!

So help us spread the word! Lindy hop is awesome and we want to get more new people out on the dance floor this year!

Our Lindy Hop Fundamentals Course is a great low-pressure introduction for people who might find a large class too intimidating. The classes are small and everyone is a beginner so we can take it nice and slow and all have a good laugh. You don’t even need a partner. The next course starts in February:

Wednesdays 5th – 26th Febuary 2020
