Swingland is a professional organisation specialising in swing dance tuition, events and choreography. We are a small team of very experienced teachers and event organisers, all driven by our passion for swing music and dancing. We are fully insured and VAT registered. Established 1998.

Classes & workshops - regular weekly club nights and workshops where you can learn and practise in a fun and friendly environment. Learn to dance.

Clubs/events/dance parties - after the classes, our club nights feature dancing to top swing DJs and regular live bands. We also run a bi-monthly Friday night swing dance party (The 2 O'Clock Jump) as well as larger annual events such as our glamorous 1920s/30s/40s Swing Balls.

Choreography - Swingland is run by Martin Ellis who also choreographs the Attic Cats Lindy hop performance group. Martin and the Swingland team are available for private/group classes (eg "first dance"), demos, performances (eg corporate events) and for video, film and TV work.

Swingland is very much dedicated to the original "Savoy" style of Lindy hop, from the ballrooms of 1930s Harlem and we pride ourselves on teaching great technique throughout our classes, believing this to be the key to becoming an accomplished swing dancer.

Swing dancing can be cool and laid-back or fast and high-energy. It's a great way to get - and stay - fit, and meet people from all walks of life. It's also highly addictive - mostly because it's so much fun!

So get "hep to the jive" - and get the swing thing with Swingland!

If you're new to our website or are thinking of taking up swing dancing for the first time, we hope you'll find everything you need here. You can start any of our drop-in classes at any time - you don't need to book or commit to turning up every week - just turn up as and when you can. You don't need a partner either - plenty of people turn up on their own or with friends - and we rotate people in the classes as it's the best way to learn. If you have any questions please do contact us - we'll be glad to help - and we look forward to seeing you soon! Martin and the Swingland team
