The 2 O'Clock Jump is our glamorous monthly Swing Ball - featuring the very best swing music, both live and recorded - and dancing into the early hours! In the spirit of the great Harlem ballrooms of the 1920s, 30s and 40s, we expect everyone to be well turned out so we have a smart dress code - vintage or retro much appreciated although smart modern is OK (but no jeans/t-shirts)
