Our next PractiSwing takes place on Friday April 1st at 19:30 in the MMaP Gallery, Arts and Culture Centre.

We'll provide the space and the music, and there'll be at least one experienced dancer to host and answer questions.

For beginners, we have a half-hour beginner lesson promptly at the start. This class will be a standalone class, and will work for people totally new to Lindy Hop as well as those in a beginner class already.

Admission $3
