A place with no rules or expectations, apart from
offering YOU a great time.
Immerse yourself in the joy of music and move to it YOUR way.
We promise you a musical journey through the history of roots music from the
20s through to the early 50s, with a genuine and comprehensive mix of
JAZZ, SWING, RnB, maybe some very early RnR, as well as a few
surprises thrown in - expect the unexpected!
The event is welcoming, heart-warming, inclusive, celebratory, and encourages
cohesion within the music-loving community that we are part of.
Ultimately, it's immense FUN!

And, in keeping with the tone of the event, our DJs and bands will tune into
your needs, whilst joyfully expressing themselves. They know how to keep you
entertained and there really will be something for everyone.
If you fancy learning some new dance skills, we have top class dance tuition
in BALBOA, LINDY HOP, and SHAG.
NOTE: This is NOT a "dance camp". You don't need to register or sign up as a
lead or follow. Lessons are primarily to give you something a bit extra and
are fun. They do get busy and will make you smile.
There are no competitions. So, please come and join a more informal
atmosphere and let yourself go.
Various areas for your listening and dancing pleasure, including:
The Ballroom for evening entertainment with great bands and DJs.
