Hi everyone.
Just a quick note to remind you that there is a small change to classes this week to accommodate a free social dance that’s taking place at the University of Nottingham.
Class schedule
Looking forward to seeing you all later – at classes or the social.

The Social
This is being held by the University of Nottingham Swing Society at the end of a day of workshops but is open to everyone – and it’s free π
It’s run from 6.30pm – 9.30pm at the Djanogly Music Rehearsal Hall (near Lakeside Arts)
This is the address: Djanogly Recital Hall, University of Nottingham, University Boulevard, Nottingham NG7 2RD

Hello everyone! We’ve been invited to come out dancing this Sat 30 May in support of Sneinton Market’s ‘Fings Ain’t What They Used To Be!’ 50s Market and Heritage Launch. Event is open from 10am to 3pm.
I’ll be teaching a couple of Lindy Hop taster classes at some point during the day (TIMES NOW CONFIRMED: 11:30am – social and demo dancing after official opening and 12:30pm for taster class/workshop) and it would be really wonderful to have lots of Swing, Lindy Hop, Collegiate Sh@g, Balboa and Rock & Roll Dancers – whatever your preferred style or wherever you usually dance – hanging out, joining in and basically enjoying dancing away in (fingers tightly crossed) the sunshine. For those of you who love dressing up they’re very keen on that too, but no pressure on that front.
Here are the details of the main event.

I know quite a few of you are heading off to London Swing Festival this weekend but I’m hoping there are still heaps of lovely dancer types around, ready and willing. It should be a fun day with lots of exciting vintage clothing, craft and food stalls.
Many thanks for your support, Lisa x
Hi all
Hope you’re enjoying your bank holiday weekend. Just to remind you that there are no classes this Sunday and Monday.
Best wishes
Lisa
Hello all!
Hope you’re enjoying the sunshine.
Just a note to say that Lindy classes are definitely on today (Sun 26 April) so tear yourself away from the garden and come and join us. Bob and I will be continuing with triples for Fundamentals (5.30ish), kicks for Improvers (7ish) and Swing Out variations in Intermediates (8.15ish).
Tomorrow (Mon 27 April) at Solo Jazz class (8pm) is the last week of learning the Tranky Doo routine. It was amazing to see a whole room full of us Dipsy Doodling at Friday’s Late Night Lindy. Now, let’s finish it off, polish it up and learn some variations too π
Next week however (Sun 3 and Mon 4 May) is a Bank Holiday weekend so we’ll be taking a break then (as we always do on bank hols) so hope to see lots of you at classes today and tomorrow.
See you later!
Lisa
Fancy something a little different? Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz have foundations in Tap dance and there is so much cross over and fun to be had learning it all π
For those interested in experiencing a little bit of free form rhythm tap there’s an opportunity tonight at Nottingham Tap Rhythm Project‘s first Tap Jam at City Arts in Hockley from 6.30pm.
You can take a short intro class (with tap shoes on hand to borrow) and then watch a performance by professional Rhythm tapper Jess Murray with live music from Untold Rhythm before maybe taking to the floor and having a bash yourself?? Of course you can also sit back and support others while enjoying refreshments at Becky’s Global Cafe. Β£5 from 6.30pm or free from 7.30pm.
All welcome, young and old, experienced or complete beginners.
Note: this is not a Nottingham Lindy Hop event but we love Jess and the Tap Rhythm Project and all it tries to do to bring Rhythm Tap to all. See you there I hope π
Welcome back everyone! Hope you all had a great Easter break. Classes started back today with a change of rhythms in the levels. Triple steps in Fundamentals, Kicks in More Rhythms and Swing Out technique in Intermediates. You were all fab and worked so hard. We’re looking forward to moving these forward with you over the next few weeks.
Don’t worry if you missed this week though, classes are always designed for you to join in whenever you can. Though for those of you able to attend more frequently you’ll get to build on your skills each week. I look forward to seeing you all next Sunday.
Monday 13 April – The Tranky Doo!
Now for those of you looking for a different challenge, tomorrow night is our Solo Jazz Roots class and for the next 3 weeks I’ll be teaching the Tranky Doo routine. Classes are at our usual venue, The Old School Hall and will start at 8pm each Monday evening. They’ll cost Β£4 each or just Β£10 for all 3 if you pay in the first week.
The Tranky Doo is a really fun solo jazz routine danced by the savoy ballroom dancers back in the day and still enjoyed today by Lindy hoppers the world over.
All are welcome to join the classes – I’ll pace the class to suit all.
It’s a wonderful routine and great fun so please come join us :-).
Hello! Did you remember to put the clocks forward?!
I just want to remind you all that we are currently in the midst of the fabulous Robin Hood Hop swing dance event here in Nottingham (www.robinhoodhop.com) and so TODAY there are NO REGULAR LINDY CLASSES at Sneinton.
Instead as part of the camp there is a TEA DANCE and FUDDLE at our usual venue THE OLD SCHOOL HALL and ALL are WELCOME!
It starts at 4pm and goes on till 9pm. Cost Β£5 on the door if you don’t already have a social or full pass to Robin Hood Hop. Oh and bring a donation to the Fuddle. As I say, ALL WELCOME so hope to see you all there!
NOTE: Our REGULAR CLASSES WILL BACK AFTER EASTER – See you on Sunday 12 April π
Hi guys!
We’re having a slight change of format at classes today. Fundamentals and Improvers classes are running as usual (5.30 & 7pm) but instead of our intermediate class we’re having social dance practice time through till 9pm.
All dancers welcome to stay for this after improvers, with teachers on hand to help with questions.
Same pricing as always, Β£5 for session, Β£4 if only staying for fundamentals.
This is a real chance to get those moves and rhythms we’ve been working on imbedded in your social dancing getting you ready for Robin Hood Hop at the end of the month.
