Hi, I’m Simon Selmon, a pioneer of the UK Swing dance revival. For over 40 years, I’ve learned from Lindy Hop legends, danced worldwide and helped thousands discover the joy of Swing!
I’ve danced in Harlem, appeared in films and on TV — but my greatest thrill? Seeing someone light up on the dance floor for the first time!
At SwingdanceUK, we teach more than steps — we share a cultural legacy. Our classes are welcoming, easy to follow, and designed for you.
Swing is more than a dance — it’s a language of rhythm, style, and freedom and it’s open to everyone.
Come for the vintage vibes.
Stay for the music, movement & magic.
