Events Returning After Lockdown

Update 18th August 2021

With legal restrictions lifted we are now working towards bringing classes and events back in some locations. For the safety of all attendees, we have drawn up COVID-safe plans for each type of activity this Autumn.

This is a tricky period for us to navigate, as people will start to feel ready to return to face-to-face activities at different times. With continued uncertainty, we're not in a position to bring all previous classes back straight away.

COVID-Safe Plan for Workshops and Courses

COVID-Safe Measures for Resuming Courses

Refresher Workshops

There has been a steady flow of requests for our courses to return to local venues, accompanied by concerns from dancers that they've forgotten much of what they had learned!

For this reason, we are running refresher workshops prior to the return of courses this Autumn at all venues that we have so far arranged. These workshops are aimed at giving people who have already taken our courses in the past the opportunity to recap the moves in a one-off, stand-alone evening workshop. These are mostly refreshers of the Beginners Course, with an Intermediate level refresher also available in one location. These refreshers will also help those people who did not complete a course they started prior to lockdown.

SwingJive Courses

Courses will resume at selected venues in September and October. Most venues will run Beginners and Intermediate Yellow, with a couple of venues offering Inters Plus Orange instead.

At present, we have confirmed lessons will restart at Farnborough, Farnham, Dorchester, Poole, Fareham, Gosport and Botley this September, all in the same venue and with the same instructor as before lockdown. We're still talking to staff and venues about restarting classes at other established locations and hope to resume soon.

Everybody who was on a course that was unable to finish prior to lockdown will be contacted directly with options.
