Learn to Swing dance with one of the world’s longest running award winning swing dance companies!
Offering fun and friendly classes, workshops, parties & special events!

Hi, I’m Simon Selmon, one of the pioneers of the UK Swing dance revival. I’ve spent over 40 years learning from the legends of Lindy Hop, dancing around the world, and helping thousands of people fall in love with the joy of Swing — from total beginners to seasoned pros.

I’ve danced in Harlem, been filmed in the movies and taught on TV - but what excites me most? Seeing someone light up on the dance floor for the first time.

At SwingdanceUK, we don’t just teach steps - we pass on a cultural legacy. Whether you want to master the Swing Out, glide through Balboa, jam in Solo Jazz, or just feel confident at your next party, our classes are welcoming, clearly structured and built with you in mind.

We believe 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.
