If you're looking for Lindy Hop, Balboa or Shag Swing Dance Classes in the Nottingham area and a great social dance night, congratulations you found us.
If you arrived here by accident, then check out the movie clips section to see what all the fuss is about...

LindyHop, Jitterbug, Jive (many names for 'Lindy') is a partner dance that came out of the early Jazz & Swing era of the 1930's onwards. Frowned upon at the time as the street dance of its age, Lindy has continued to develop over the decades and today is a sophisticated and varied dance that is as impressive to watch as it is fun to do...

Beginners are welcome, no partner required, just bring flat shoes and two left feet and we'll soon have you Swinging Away just like in the movies.

Where & When

All ages are welcome, prices are £5.00 for 2 classes (£3.00 concession for students etc.), U16's are free. If you just want to visit and take a look, then sitting and watching is free (for the first time ;-) too.

Nottingham Swing Dance Society have been providing Swing Dance classes since 2001 where we started in a small Village Hall with a half dozen curious dancers to one of the larger Swing Dance classes in the UK regularly attracting 40 or more dancers of all ages,experience and ability.
LindyHop or just Lindy is a dance style that has always been contemporary since it has never been controlled (or stifled) by a governing body - it works equally well with Swing, Big Band, Jazz, Blues, Rock'n'Roll, R&B, R'n'B, Hip Hop and even pop (any music that is meant for dancers)

Swing Dancing in its many forms - Lindy Hop, Balboa, Jitterbug, Shag, Blues is a fascinating and fun dance style that is relatively easy to learn, but difficult to master. National and International events bring Swing Dancers together from all corners of the world.

One thing is for sure, Swing Dancing in its various forms is fun, addictive, and helps keep you fit.
