Fri 5th November This will be a very special evening with all proceeds going to Help For Heroes. Our chance to say thankyou and remember. Many thanks to The Ray Taylor Swing Band for providing what is sure to be a roof lifting show, playing the biggest Big Band tunes from the likes of Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. As a special treat, we also have the stunning Crystal Cupcake with not one, but two wartime themed burlesque performances. The Swingaroo Sisters will also be singing.
Thurs 23rd December The Swingaroo Christmas Party at our new venue, The Preston Masonic Hall (Ashlar House). There will be a night off from the dance class and the aim of the night is good old fashioned festive silliness. Live entertainment from The Brothers of Swing. As a treat, there’ll also be a tasty buffet, seeing as it’s Christmas. Antlers and tinsel welcome.
