Swing Dance Class & Party

About this event

Join us as we step back into the raucous swing dancing era of the 1930’s at Leinster Cricket Club Rathmines with Swingrandes.

If you’ve never tried swing dance before this is the perfect opportunity to dip your toe with a fun beginners class to start the night.

TRAVEL: There is plenty of free parking at Leinster Cricket Club for attendees. Rathmines has excellent bus links to the city centre and if you want to stretch your legs it's about a half an hour walk.

DRESS: Some people dress up in their finest vintage clothes but the most important thing is to wear what's comfortable for you to move in and most importantly comfortable shoes.

CODE: We want everyone that comes to our swing dance events to feel completely at home and to have as much fun as possible. We all can play our part in ensuring that happens. Some of our friends have come together to develop a code for swing dance events in Ireland to help remind us all to be kind to one another.

Special thanks to Alan Dooley who has worked quietly behind the scenes for some time now to make sure everyone feels included and comfortable @swing dance events in Ireland.
