4 days to go til SwingFest!

The dances are both now almost sold out, and there will be NO tickets on the door for those.

There are still a few places in most of the workshops - we are especially looking for leads for the two Balboa sessions, and there is plenty of room in the tap dance for advanced beginners. If you booked two workshops and didn't realise you could have booked three for the same price (!) please get in touch at [email protected] and we'll see what we can offer subject to availability and lead/follow balance (the three workshops must all be for the same person of course).

Don't miss out - get your tickets at https://www.swingfest.org.uk/
