The afternoon is aimed at everyone, including non-dancers. There’s more seating available than the evening, it’s family-friendly – and tickets include a FREE beginners swing dance class (courtesy of Swingland)
The evening is aimed at swing dancers of all levels, but is suitable for everyone (over-16). Seating is very limited, and must be reserved.
The Lindy hop workshops are suitable for improvers through to advanced (2 levels), and the Charleston, Black Bottom, and tap dance workshops are suitable for beginners and up.
