The Swingaroo Vintage Dancehall is a new and exciting monthly event in Preston, Lancashire, celebrating the swing era from the 1920’s to the 1950’s. The music, the style, the decorations, the romance and, of course, the dancing. Whether you’re a fan of The Charleston, the Lindy Hop, Balboa or Jive, there will be tunes to get you ‘In the Mood’ for dancing.
If you’re an absolute beginner, but fancy having a go, fear not. Each month at 7.30pm prompt there will be a beginners Lindy Hop class. We have experienced teachers joining us from Manchester Lindy to give you the basics and add more moves as the months progress. Be sure to arrive early so as not to miss out on this great opportunity to learn a fun dance in the best possible environment with new friends. No partner? No problem. We’ll make sure that everybody is taken care of.
Each month there will be a live act, ranging from solo vocalists to 17 piece Swing Bands as well as a retro disco until late and our resident vocal trio The Swingaroo Sisters promise to entertain you.
The dj’s will be playing a varied mix of artists from Noel Coward to Chuck Berry, plenty of Glenn Miller, Ella Fitzgerald, Artie Shaw, Cab Calloway, Brian Setzer and the like. Electro-swing and contemporary hits with a swinging feel will get in there. Basically, if it makes you move and smile. it’s in!
