Welcome to The Swing Dance Company / Workshops

Workshops

The Swing Dance Company organises a wide variety of dance workshops throughout the year. There are  workshops in more advanced steps, other partnered swing styles such as lindy hop, balboa and collegiate shag, solo dances like tap and jazz routines such as The Shim Sham and the Jitterbug Stroll. Taster sessions in other dance styles also take place from time to time, previous bookings have included hip hop, ballet, and cha-cha-cha!

Workshop Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need a partner? Any workshops featuring strolls are solo dances so do not require a partner. All other dance styles are partnered. Why not post a message on the forum, or ask others at your local dance class if you are looking for a partner.

What level are the classes aimed at? Most workshops are aimed at beginner level, but we also run intermediate /improver or advanced level classes, for which you should already be comfortable with the basics. Please see the specific workshop details, as this will contain further details on level.

Is the venue easy to get to, and will there be enough parking? Yes! We hold workshops in venues with ample parking. The Event Calendar will have the full postal address of the venue.

Do I need to bring anything? Your dance shoes, a bottle of water, and if you are staying to do several workshops, you may want to bring a small towel and change of top, and some nibbles to keep you going!
