A friendly, relaxed social dance for all, with an accent on faster music. In the first hour you can expect plenty of medium tempo, swingy tunes for the Lindy hoppers to ease you in. Thereafter more hot tunes will be thrown into the mix for the delight of all the Bal, Shag , Solo and fast Lindy dancers out there!!
Come and join us and have a chat and a dance! You can book a Sunday Lunch beforehand or there are Pizzas and snacks available at the bar if you get hungry!
Dances generally take place on the first (sometimes second) Sunday of the month with occasional Bal, Shag or Lindyhop workshops beforehand, which can be booked separately. Watch this space for details.
Please note split tickets are available for those dancers who need to share childcare. All those new parents out there, come back to us! We miss you!
This is a not for profit dance set up by swing dancers for swing dancers. If you want to be a part of it and help grow your local dance community please get in touch.
Upcoming workshops
For the 3rd May, lined up in front of the Sunday Social Dance , we have a Lindyhop workshop- how to dance to fast music more easily. Tips and techniques for using less energy, being more efficient in the way you move, feeling more in control, and looking more elegant all at the same time!

This workshop is aimed at intermediate/advanced dancers. You need to be comfortable with swingouts and Charleston basics.

There is live music for the Social dance this month too! The JNP Trio and Lucy Moon are coming together to provide two full sets to blow the top off your Sunday afternoon!
The JNP Trio consists of the fabulous Sam Joyce on piano, the hugely experienced and groovy Adam Newton on bass and of course Bristol's best dressed drummer, Richie Paradise. Lucy Moon is a highly esteemed jazz vocalist and educator known for her delicate phrasing and exquisite tone. She's been active on the South West jazz scene for over a decade with her swing quintet designed for dancers: Paper Moon. She's delighted to be joining the JNP trio for an afternoon of high energy swing classics .
For this extra special gig we are moving the Social upstairs so there will be lots of room to dance your thing! What a treat!
