Charleston is a fun dance that developed during the roaring 20s. It began in southern USA and spread like wildfire. It is energetic and light-hearted and it was considered scandalous back in the day. Swing Dance is a partnered dance which developed in the music halls in the 1930s. Learning the basics of this dance will help you dance with almost any partner to the swinging sounds of the Jazz era.

Venue details
Firkin Crane, the home of dance in Cork, is a place where dance artists, dance audiences and dance enthusiasts can make, see and join in dance of all kinds. Firkin Crane is unique as a resource for dance in Ireland in that it has a stage dedicated to the year-round presentation of dance. In addition it has smaller performance spaces, an exhibition space and four dance studios, all housed in a distinctive heritage building. These resources are important because of what they support people to do: to experiment with, to create and to enjoy dance in its many forms.
