About the event

LINDY HOP & SOLO JAZZ TRACKS:

  • Al Minns (COMPLETE BEGINNER)- there will be beginner swing dance classes from 8-9pm at the Friday and Saturday parties at Leinster Cricket Club Rathmines. Entry is included in the party pass ticket price. These classes are suitable for those who have never tried swing dancing before or those who recently started classes. Stay after the class to soak up the festival atmosphere with live jazz, DJs, dance performances, fun mix & match competition and more.
  • Shorty George (INTERMEDIATE)- this will be a fun and challenging level but with more time to explore the figures and concepts presented.
  • Big Bea (ADVANCED)- this will be a fun and challenging level with fast paced presentation of more difficult figures and concepts.
  • BOTH Big Bea & Shorty George - all the classes will have different content so why not sign up for both the intermediate and advanced levels :-)
