Hello everyone! 👋
A huge well done to everyone who joined us on Monday to try out Hip Hop! 🙌 Hope you all enjoyed the classes and the social afterwards.
Have you ever seen a whole room full of swing dancers grooving together, synchronised with rhythmic footwork and playful jazz moves like the Shorty George and boogie backs?
It’s the Shim Sham—one of the most well-known and joyful solo-jazz routines, and a shared language among swing dancers wherever you are in the world.
Next Monday, Rathish will be teaching the routine, along with some fun Solo Jazz moves. Both classes are beginner-friendly, so come along, give them a try, and be there or be square! 😄
Feel free to invite your friends too! Newcomers are always welcome to join us and try dancing completely free of charge. Doors open at 7:00 pm — no booking or partner is required.
Check out these amazing events happening for the rest of the summer! 👇
