Hi everyone! Seems like ages since I last sent an update. I guess the Olympics have taken over everyone's lives at the moment! You can still come swing dancing though!
This week - Brixton classes are running as usual on Monday, as is C Jam on Tuesday (Balham) and A-Train on Thursday (Hammersmith).
Summer Holidays/Olympics - Swing Cellar (Sundays) and our Windsor classes (Mondays) are closed now until September but Brixton, C Jam and A-Train carry on as usual throughout August (Brixton is closed on the Bank Holiday Monday).
Workshops!
Master those 8-count basics! Our next Beginners/Improvers workshop is on Saturday 1st September at The Bedford, 11am-4pm. Details and booking now open at http://www.swingland.com/learn-to-dance/workshops/details.php?id=8478
We're also running an airsteps workshop on Saturday 18th August - please e-mail for further info/booking for this one.
Our next Improvers/Intermediates workshop is on Saturday 13th October. This workshop is all about building confidence in your social dancing skills. Again details and booking are now open at http://www.swingland.com/learn-to-dance/workshops/details.php?id=8503
