Put on your dance shoes and embark on a journey through the Jazz Age with your favourite Jitterbugs Simon & Anna! From the Cakewalk to the Charleston, from the Lindy Hop to the Twist, experience these popular dances and their history.

The SwingdanceUK crew will get you strutting, flapping, jitterbugging, jiving and twisting with a mixture of taster classes and performances. “The original jazz dances burst with energy and personality, the music is pure joy and you just can’t help smiling”, says Simon.

Entertaining, educational, interactive and most of all fun! All aboard!
