What is Swing dancing? Swing is a form of Jazz and the dance looks a bit like Rock’n’Roll or Jive. It has one name but encompasses many dances…Lindy Hop, Charleston, Jitterbug etc. It started in the 1920’s and was a fusion of African and European dances, with humour and individuality at its heart. It can be danced alone or with a partner.
Swing music Have you liked what you heard at Doubletime? Has your foot been tapping and your energy soaring? Swing music is the Big Band sounds of the 30’s and 40’s and yet still has a modern appeal. Think Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra…It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing!
Why learn to dance? Want to look good on the dance floor? Want to feel energized and lost in the music? Love the music and need to know how to get down to it?
Classes Dance classes are enjoyable, sociable and a great way of keeping fit! They are a fun and friendly place to go on your own or with friends. Beginners courses in Swing are designed to be fun and informal. Improvers courses are designed for people who have completed a beginners course and want to improve on their style. No partner is required. Courses are usually 10 weeks long and cost €100. Pre-booking is recommended.
