Hi all!
Everything is gearing up now for The Savoy Ball on Saturday 17th March! - don't forget you can still get the February early-bird price if you book now at www.savoyball.com.
Savoy Ball tickets include a free dance class at any regular weekly Swingland venue - we also have a special pre-Savoy Ball 2 O'Clock Jump at The Bedford on Friday 16th March (which includes a beginners class) and you are welcome to use your voucher there (there is no need to book for 16th March, but if you would like to come to the class please let us know by e-mail so that we have an idea of numbers - thanks!). If you haven't collected your tickets yet (and didn't ask for them to be posted) remember that you can pick them up at any of our classes including the one on 16th March. You do need to have your tickets before the ball though - there is no facility to collect them on the door.
Below you'll find details of all our events for the next month - please do keep an eye on the website too in the unlikely event that anything changes at the last minute. As well as our regular weekly classes and dancing we have workshops - including a special Charleston workshop with the fabulous Lisa Clarke and Fabien Vrillon - details below!
Don't forget we have live music from the wonderful Shirt Tail Stompers (plus all the usual classes) tonight at C Jam - hope to see you there!
