Smooth Style Swing

Smooth Style Swing – Monthly Swing Dance Classes in 2025

At St Werburghs Community Centre, Horley Rd, Bristol BS2 9TJ

A series of beginner friendly dance classes from Andrew Richardson who has more than 25 years of experience as a Swing and Lindy Hop dancer.  Each class will be focused on a particular style or theme within Swing jazz partner dance. The classes will teach you how to develop your sense of rhythm and apply simple techniques for easy, smooth and comfortable social dance.

Lesson 5 – Thursday 29th May 7.30pm – 9pm  “Core Technique, Best Practice & Floor Craft”

To be a good social dancer you need to know more than just the moves. There are other factors such as core technique, floor craft, etiquette, musicality, and partnership. As an experienced swing dancer I have been lucky enough to receive several tips and pieces of good advice over the years.

This will be a slightly unusual class as I will not focus so much on new moves but on passing on the tips and the ‘best practice’ suggestions and corrections which I have learned. Things that are seldom taught in dance classes – but should be.  Suitable for all levels of experience.

Lovely space. Great floor. Donations of £3 and upwards most appreciated. All proceeds go to the St Werburghs Community Centre. Please bring your own refreshments.
