Socials
Social dancing is where Lindy Hop really comes alive.
What makes this dance wonderful are those three minutes that you share with someone else on the dance floor. Because each person is different, no two dances will be the same. The improvised nature of the dance means that every moment can be cherished. The real joy of Lindy Hop comes from the connections you forge with each person you share a dance with.
The classroom and workshop environments are great for giving you the space to learn vocabulary and technique, but just like with learning a language, the best way to practice your skills and build your confidence is by trying it out in the real world and adventuring onto the dance floor.
The Swing Project regularly hosts a variety of social events across South Wales, all filled with friendly dancers and great music - so grab your dancing shoes and we’ll see you on the dance floor!
