Date & Time
Saturday 29th March 2025. Doors 10:30 for a 11:00 start. Doors close 18:00.
Teachers
All Classes will be run by Swing Tyne teachers.
Level
The classes are designed for both beginners (dancing <1 year) and improvers who want to hone their technique or learn the opposite role. This workshop will help you be ready for our ‘Improvers and Beyond’ workshop later this year delivered by special guest teachers, so please come along!
We will explore fundamental techniques, movement, connection, quality of dance, core shag vocabulary, and variations that will enhance your individual level of dancing.
No dance partner is required. However, a balance of leads and followers is needed, so there may be a wait list until an opposite role is booked.

There will be roughly four hours of classes, with regular breaks and lunch, followed by an hour and a half of social dancing where you can hone and practice your moves.

Facilities
Tea/Coffee and water will be provided.
We recommend bringing your own packed lunch (no lunch provided), as local cafes/shops are limited and the lunch break will be 45 minutes.
Please bring slippy-soled shoes for dancing. Spare shirt/socks/deodorant/dance towel will help you stay comfortable and considerate of others, especially if you’ve been putting in a lot of effort!
Concessions
Concession prices are for those who are students/unemployed/low waged. We ask that anyone who can afford the standard priced tickets please purchase one. We are a not for profit charity so every £ paid is used for our dancing community.
No refunds will be given and no tickets are to be resold (you can re-allocate your ticket). Swing Tyne will try to sell your place and if successful a refund will be issued (up until the 24th March 2025).
