Our Swing style also suits Rock n Roll music, and is where R'n'R dancing came from.
What I used to do, is teach small groups of people, with a usual class size of 8-16.
That meant I could give good, individual, help & tips.
It's my desire to run a professional club, in the way I would have liked to have been taught,
so I have even detailed all the beginners lessons in writing, available on request.
Want a new social circle? We provide access.
Want to meet like minded people, ideal chance.
Do 1940's Re-enacting? The perfect accessory!
