We've had a tremendous response from the previous attendees who loved the venue, the teachers, the music and the friendly atmosphere. The venue has one big room and a couple of smaller rooms so places at the weekend are Limited.
If you are a friendly, down to earth, nice person who does the Lindy Hop - This is for you!!!

We are now very nearly Sold Out!
