Hello all!
Hope you’re having a great weekend.
Just wanted to give you a heads up that tomorrow between classes 1 & 2 (so 7pm ish) I’ll be showing a preview of our ‘I Charleston Nottingham‘ video – hurrah it’s here!
Last year all the different swing class groups in Nottingham came together to film ourselves dancing all over our fair city. It was a brilliant (and exhausting) weekend of thoroughly dancing our socks off in some fab locations followed by a long road to finally get it ‘in the can’ but after some truly Stirling efforts by the Nottm Uni Swing Soc team it’s finally ready!
The video will go live on YouTube on Wednesday but I have a copy to show a preview tomorrow. It’s all very exciting!
For those who haven’t heard of ‘I Charleston… the world’ here’s a playlist of videos of other cities around the world doing their thing 🙂

See you tomorrow!!
Many of you are already half way through this brilliant weekend of fun and merriment happening this weekend in our fair city.
We had a brilliant welcome party at Late Night Lindy @ Bunkers Hill last night and dancers are now coming to the end of 5 hours of fabulous Lindy hop classes from some amazing teachers from London, Liverpool, Leeds, Durham and Nottingham. Cat & Cam, Matthew & Jenny, Nigel & Debi, Alex & Leanne.
Feel like you’re missing out? Well don’t 🙂
The good news is there’s a big swing dance tonight in the Great Hall in the Trent Building at Nottingham University and ALL ARE WELCOME!!
Tickets are £7 on the door, doors open at 8pm and finishes at 1am. There’ll be live music from Me & Mr Jones, a Jack and Jill Lindy Hop comp and lots and lots of dancing.
Even better news is that for £10 you can buy a social pass which will get you in tonight and entitle to come to the fun tasters tomorrow in Balboa, Belly Dancing and Indian dance followed by a swinging tea dance (Sunday 15 Feb) with plenty of cake 🙂
Remember that there are no classes this Sunday at The Old School Hall in Sneinton as we will all be at NottingJam. Come join us!

Hi all.
As mentioned recently at classes it’s the fabulous Manieres des Bohémiens album launch party tonight at The Malt Cross, St James Street, Nottingham.
I’ll be teaching a Lindy taster class at 8pm (be lovely to have some familiar faces there in support). Then the band will do two sets, and our lovely Jim will be DJing swing tracks in between.
It’s looking to be a top swinging night of live music, DJ sets and dancing and best of all it’s FREE!!
See you all later!

Ahh! Happy days folks. Our regular Lindy Hop and Jazz Roots classes start back this weekend. On Sunday it’s all about the Lindy Hop, 5.30pm Fundamentals, 7pm Improvers, 8.15pm Intermediates. Then on Mondays we have Solo Jazz Roots at 8pm. All held at The Old School Hall, Windmill Lane, Sneinton, Nottingham (follow signs to Green’s Windmill and Science Centre). See you soon 🙂
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!!
SAVE THE DATE: Nottingham Lindy Hop Christmas Tea Dance and Fuddle on Sunday 21 December. 6pm till 10.30ish. £5. Old School Hall, Windmill Lane, Sneinton (by Green’s Windmill).

Just heard that ‘Late Night Lindy’ has unfortunately been caught up in the storm and has had to cancel tonight’s event due to water leakage at the venue, Bunker’s Hill.
While it’s a disappointing, don’t panic, they’ll be back in 2 weeks time 🙂
See you all then!
