About the event

Join us as we step back into the raucous swing dancing era of the 1930’s.

If you’ve never tried swing dance before this is the perfect opportunity to dip your toe with a fun beginners class to start the night.

The class will be followed by an evening of socialising and social dancing with Dublin’s famously friendly swing dance community . The live hot jazz for your listening and dancing pleasure will be provided by the best swing bands in Ireland.

There is a full bar and ample seating to rest your tired limbs with a picturesque balcony overlooking the cricket pitch to cool down and catch your breath.
