The Swing Era

We completed the first two modules of Lindy Hop level 1 with the Swing Era, and it seems like we cannot stop dancing anymore! The classes are really fun and inclusive, both teachers and dancers are extremely welcoming and I cannot wait for the next class every week! The classes also come with a free 30 minutes social/practice with dancers from all levels. Experienced people are always keen to dance with beginners and in a beginner-friendly way which is amazing and very rewarding!

I've been to various solo jazz and six week couples courses and the teachers are absolutely fabulous - patient and relaxed but teach to a high standard. The group is welcoming and over the courses my confidence has grown a lot.

I had an amazing time at the spring dance! The evening kicked off with a fun, low-pressure class that allowed us to meet everyone and feel comfortable right away. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, especially for newcomers, and it was easy to get into the spirit of the event. The music was fantastic, a dj DJ and the band were nice to dance to. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

I've been going to Lindy Hop classes for a year now and absolutely LOVE it, the teachers are excellent and everyone is so friendly and accommodating, I highly recommend! Started solo jazz recently too which is loads of fun and a great workout. I'm looking forward to continuing in the new year

Have you always wanted to learn swing dancing, but felt a little nervous about going to your first class? Well, I was exactly the same until I started lessons with The Swing Era! As soon as I arrived I was made to feel incredibly welcome, and within minutes I was chatting away with my fellow beginners and The Swing Era team. Along with being superb teachers, Martyn and Suzanne are full of amazing energy and enthusiasm. You’ll learn all kinds of great swing dance moves, meet a community of ace people, and have lots of cool social events to choose from too. I'm by no means a natural dancer, but within 18 months of beginning lessons with Martyn and Suzanne I was dancing on a bandstand in Barcelona with tourists taking pictures! In short, I can’t recommend The Swing Era highly enough - they’ll change your life. Book your first lesson with them today 🙂

Taking up swing dance classes with The Swing Era was the best decision I made in 2017. What started out as a fun way to get fit has since developed into a passion which I have every reason to believe will last for years. Martyn and Suzanne are friendly, supportive, encouraging and a great team! They are also great at working with people of all levels and experience, whilst always paying attention to the individual needs of each and every person. What I really enjoy about The Swing Era classes is that each lesson is really well structured, thought through and designed to continually improve your dancing with each and every class. Classes with The Swing Era are always the most enjoyable and stimulating time of my week, I always look forward to them and always leave smiling wishing that I could just stay there the whole day. I can hardly express in words just how grateful I am and how lucky I feel to have discovered The Swing Era; swing dancing has truly been the most fun, rewarding and motivating thing I have done in years.

The first lesson I had with The Swing Era a year ago was so much fun, and I've kept going since. They give you plenty of chance to practise what you've learnt in the lesson and are very happy to help. The teachers are funny & give me great tips to improve on my dancing. Everyone there is friendly, too. Now they have a Performance group on a Monday night, which means we all get to learn complete Lindy routines and learn them well through repetition and perfecting them, which is fantastic. I love going dancing on a Monday night with these guys, would highly recommend!
