Hello everyone! 👋
Hope you all enjoyed the lessons and social the past Monday! 💃🕺
A big thank you to our teachers and DJ for making it all happen, and to everyone who came along and filled the floor with so much energy. And it’s always lovely to see so many students from both Newcastle and Durham Universities joining us.
Next Monday, we’ll have Lindy Hop and Shag classes, with two levels in two venues. Check out the poster for all the details! If you have any questions, just drop us a message. 😄
We’re always welcoming new dancers to our classes and community, and your first visit to Swing Tyne is completely free! So why not bring a friend along and give it a dance? 😎
