Swing Tyne
Tonight sees the return of our regular schedule of classes, with Lindy hop at Summerhill and Shag up at St Matthew’s. We hope you enjoyed our summer programme and tried something new!
Don’t forget we also have our Beginners Lindy hop workshop on Sat 27th Sept if you’re looking to jump start your dancing!
Tickets for our September Lindy workshop are now live!
This workshop on Saturday 27th Sept is aimed at both beginners and improvers (dancers with less than a year of experience and those who want to work on improving their technique) and will include a deep dive on swingout technique, variations, and some new Lindy Hop moves. The workshop will be taught by Owen and Elise from Swing Tyne

We hope everyone enjoyed our Summer Program this year which has covered Tap, Blues, Lindyhop, Collegiate Shag, Balboa and Mamma’s Stew.
We have lots of events coming up over the next few months so take a look below for details for your diary:
Also, remember to make a note of our monthly regular events
There is also an active Newcastle Swing Dancers community on WhatsApp, speak to Rathish for more information
Remember, if you would like to help out here at Swing Tyne, we are always looking for volunteers to help as it takes lots of energy to run these programs and events. Please see any member of the committee or door host.
Thank you and see you on the dance floor soon!
