April Swing Dance Beginners Workshop! Absolute beginners welcome, as well as those wanting to recap what they have already learnt.

We'll be in a beautiful room with a partially-sprung dance floor in the Hubnub centre.

Your teachers
Joe from Swing Motion Bath and Swing Riot Bristol
Joe is a dedicated and experienced dancer, teaching weekly lindy hop/swing dance classes in Bristol and Bath. He also DJs and co-organises a monthly swing dance social night in Bristol.
He first fell in love with the dance in 2010 after attending a taster class. "I'd always loved early rock n roll music and so originally thought I'd give jive dance a go until a friend suggested I try swing. I was hooked straight away by how fun, varied and playful it is! Swing music suddenly came alive too and made so much more sense once I started partner dancing to it. That's what it's made for!" Joe still enjoys developing his dancing through attending workshops and dance camps in the UK and abroad, bringing back what he's learnt to share in his classes.
