Hello everyone! 👋
The Slow Balboa day workshop scheduled for this Sunday has been CANCELLED due to unforeseen circumstances. You’ll receive an email soon with information about refunds. We apologise for the inconvenience.

This year, we’re excited to welcome the Castle Rock Jazz Band, travelling all the way from Edinburgh to bring us some fantastic live jazz for an evening of social dancing. What’s even more exciting? We’re keeping ticket prices the same as in previous years! It’s our little way of saying thank you to all our members and dancers across the region for being part of Swing Tyne and supporting us throughout 2026.

We’d love to have a little more help from you! Would you be able to spare a Monday now and then to help out on the door, DJ, or perhaps get involved in anything else you’re interested in? No experience needed – training will be provided! Every little bit of help is hugely appreciated. Swing Tyne is a non-profit organisation and relies on numerous volunteers to keep things running week after week. 🙌
Stay warm and have a good weekend! 💃🕺
