About the event

Best swing DJs playing the tunes. All welcome. If you are attending a Monday evening class the social dance admission is included in the class price. If you didn't pay for a class the admission price for the social dance is €5.

WHAT TO BRING:

•  Water bottle & spare t-shirt. It can get warm if you're dancing a lot.

•  Comfortable footwear.

•  A warm jumper. It can get chilly in the studio between dances.  

REFUNDS:

If you can't make it and you let us know at least 24 hours before the event starts we will issue a refund. The €0.50 booking fee is non-refundable.

WHAT HAPPENS AT SOCIALS:

•  Ask anyone and everyone to dance. All experience levels very welcome. It's exciting to get  to dance with different people each night. If someone is tired or chatting with a long lost friend they might say "no thanks" but most of the time if you ask the answer will be an enthusiastic "yes please".

•  Classic routines. There are a number of dance routines such as the Shim-Sham, Tranky Do, Big Apple, Stew that were choreographed by some of the original dancers. Many people who are dancing for a while know these fun routines. Feel free to join in if you know the moves or just have fun trying to copy what the person next to you is doing.

•  Jams. Sometimes someone is just swinging out so hard on the dance floor or in the band that everyone else just wants to stop and cheer. Jams and dance battles are a key part of the origins and culture of swing dancing and swing music. It's a way for community members to share moves, rhythms, inspiration, energy and to show support for one another. So if you see a circle forming around the band or a person or couple on the dance floor get closer and see what's happening.
