Swing Dance Classes near Peterborough:
On this page, the information
on our classes will be updated should there be ANY changes to date or venues. 
Class night Format changes 2010
Starting in 2010, we are going to trial a "fundamentals" class following the beginner class in place
of the "taster" class in 4-5 week blocks to teach essentials of Lindyhop such as Lindy Turn, Circle & swingout,
as well as linking some things together.
This "fundamentals" class is suitable for all levels, but will run
from one week to the next for the 4 week period before resuming our "taster" classes for 4 weeks, then starting
this process again (unlike our "drop-in" classes), but if you miss some, don't worry, it will come around again.

What to wear:
Dress casually - something that you will not get too hot in!
You may want to bring a towel, perhaps change of top & deodorant etc
FOOTWEAR:
Ideally, dance shoes, but otherwise just comfortable footwear (stilletto shoes are not practical-especially for men!)
It is always a good idea to bring another pair of shoes to the pair you arrive wearing, as many venues do not like "outdoor"
shoes as they tend to mess up the dance floor surface.
