Also coming up over the next month we have not one but two social dance events that we think you will love.

This is the second of our Summertown Speakeasy Live - Jazz Swing & Dance evenings for 2026 featuring a full Big Band Swing Orchestra. Tickets are on-sale now for an evening of live music & dancing with The Bob Cutting Big Band.

Oxford will swing to the Miller sound again with a full Jazz Swing Orchestra & the sounds of the classic Jazz Swing era of the '30s and '40s. Their sound celebrates the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Bennie Goodman, and the great Glenn Miller.

Thank you to everyone who came along to our Wednesday Class for Week-9 of our Structured Lindy Hop & Charleston Swing Dance course for Summer 2026. It was also the final class of the current block. Next week we move onto Charleston footwork and step patterns.

Our Intermediate dancers have been looking at Swing Out variations over the last few weeks and we continued with more Hollywood style variations to the Whip. This all gives your dancing a series of different dynamics for the dance floor and we were really pleased to see so many of our dancers 'getting-it'. Join us every week until 8th July for more classes with great combination moves.

Come dancing tonight (Wednesday 10th June 2026) as we continue with Week-9 of our new term of Swing Dance Summertown Lindy Hop & Charleston Dance Classes.

Last night was a special class at Summertown as we introduced our Beginner's into some really quite developed moves, and were overjoyed to see the results. Everyone did amazingly well.

Our Intermediate dancers have been looking at Swing Out variations over the last few weeks with standard Back exits and Savoy exits. Last night we developed this to look at a Hollywood style variation known as the Whip. it is really about changing the dynamic of a Swing Out rather than being a different move but the result is very eye catching.

We will be developing the standard Dean Collins Whip next week to add in some very cool variations. Everyone interested should join us next week on Wednesday 10th June.
