A Big Weekend Of Swing!
This weekend (26th/27th May) is going to be a doozy for Swing It! We’ve got two nights of dancing plus two great specialty classes planned. Read on for more…
FRANKIE FILMFEST 2012
On May 26th we’ll be celebrating the birthday of the late, great Frankie Manning.
Frankie Manning had a massive impact on Lindy Hop all the way from the early days in the 30s right up to only a few years ago before he passed. Frankie’s energy and spirit infused the dance and inspired thousands of dancers over the decades.
In honour of Frankie we’ll be holding an evening of clips and dancing. We’ll watch some of the classics staring Frankie, we’ll see a brief interview with Frankie about his experience creating the first air step and we’ll also take a look some modern clips staring the dancers he inspired.
Join us for a great night of Lindy Hop, DJed music and a celebration of a great man.
