Welcome to Swingland!

Swing Dancing (Lindy hop, Jitterbug, Jive) in London - since 1998!

Swingland teaches Lindy hop ("Jitterbug" or "Jive") and related dances - through regular weekly studio classes and club nights (with classes) where you can learn and practise - at your own pace - in a fun and really friendly environment.

As well as the classes, our club nights feature dancing to top swing DJs and occasional live bands - and we also occasionally run larger events such as the glamorous Savoy Ball.

Swingland is run by Martin Ellis who also choreographs the Attic Cats Lindy hop performance group. Martin and the Swingland team are also available for private/group classes, demos, performances and for video, film and TV work including choreography. 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
