Mad About Swing's Sugar Foot Stomps
Selected Saturday nights throughout the year
Next social: to be confirmed
This is a dance evening suitable for dancers of all abilities. It's a great opportunity to practise the moves you've learnt and to socialise with other dancers.
Expect a chilled out and friendly atmosphere. Unless the evening has specific requirements, there's no dress code, but most people wear smart casual. Others make a real effort with suits and dresses... the choice is yours!
Our new regular venue 'The Elm Centre' boasts ample free parking and the advantage of providing your own refreshments. Bring your own drinks; we'll provide the glasses!.
