Nottingham Lindy Hop

It’s the end of another great year for Nottingham Lindy Hop and it’s time to celebrate with a lovely swinging Christmas Tea Dance and Fuddle at our Old School Hall, Windmill Lane, Sneinton (If you’ve not been there before just follow the signs to Green’s Windmill and Science Centre). There’ll be a fun social Lindy hop class starting about 6.30pm followed by lots of social dancing, a jam circle or two, snowball, shim sham, big apple and of course chance to eat, chat and catch up with friends, new and old alike.

Doors open at 6pm and we’ll dance through to 10.30pm. All are welcome, wherever you usually dance, £5 on the door (or whatever you can afford) and, if you’re able to, please bring a donation of food for our Fuddle table which we can all dig in to to keep our energy up throughout the night. I’ll be providing the usual teas, coffees, and biccies but you’re also welcome to bring your own drinks too if you fancy something a little stronger 🙂

Look forward to seeing and dancing with you all this Sunday 21 December 2014. Thank you everyone for another fabulous year. Merry Christmas!!

Hi Guys! Just to remind you all that we’re now on Summer break for the next 2 weeks before coming back with a bang with a birthday tea dance on Sun 27 July.  That means no classes for the next 2 weekends.

The Tea Dance will start at 6pm through till 10.30pm and will include one of our lovely fuddles.  Everyone brings a small contribution of food to share, we put it on a big central table and we all dig in – fabulous 🙂  Then there’ll be swing music all night, a fun ice-breaker class, snowballs, jam circles and generally lots of fabulous social dancing.  All swing dancers are welcome regardless of your experience or where you usually dance.  £5 on the door (£4 students and beginner dancers).

– in the meantime you could get your dancing fix this Sat 12 July at Nottm Contemporary with Me & Mr Jones https://www.facebook.com/events/723613381030082/ Have Fun!!

Note: Monday Jazz is taking a slightly longer break and will be back on Mon 4 August.
