Coronavirus Advice for Swing Dance Company classes and events

Live Music Events

Two live music events were scheduled for this October. Sat 10th October with Si Cranstoun and Sat 24th October, which was the rescheduled Spring Ball. The Jive Aces are also booked for an event in December. This section details our plans moving forward.

The Swinging Spring Ball is provisionally going to be rescheduled to take place on Sat 27th March 2021. This is the equivalent Saturday 12months on from the originally scheduled date. JG & The Ultimates remain the feature band on the night. Clearly, it depends on the progress of the pandemic and government guidance as to whether the event can take place on this date.

The only ticket holders were transfers from the Spring Ball and so the following information applies the same.

Our Xmas Swinging Ball with the Jive Aces has not been cancelled yet. With circumstances changing frequently, we will delay making a final decision until about one month before the event. However the only ticket holders are transfers from the postponed Spring Ball and if the Xmas Ball cancels, the same options will apply. 

Ticket Options:

1. The default option is that your ticket will be rolled over onto the new Spring Ball date of 27th March 2021. If you are happy with this you don't need to do anything.

2. Credit / Ticket Transfer - if the 27th March 2021 date is not convenient for you then we can transfer your ticket to our Xmas Swinging Ball event with The Jive Aces on 12th December or provide a voucher for the full purchase price against any other event. 

To take advantage of a ticket transfer or credit please reply using the email address you used to place your order stating your name, number of tickets, date of purchase and your preference for alternative event or voucher.

3. Refund - Before asking for a refund, please note that this event will run as soon as it is safe. Most people will want and need to socialise again.

This event was close to sell-out with most tickets purchased at a discounted early booking rate. Any tickets for this event that are made available in the future will be priced significantly higher.

The Swing Dance Company has operated live music events at ALN School successfully for nearly 20 years and we are fully committed to returning as soon as we can in the future. But right now, the whole live music industry is at a standstill until this crisis passes so we would urge you to consider our other options ahead of a refund.

If neither of the first two options suits you then we can process a refund. Refunds will be processed in line with our existing cancellation policy, available here, https://theswingdancecompany.co.uk/swinging-ball/terms-conditions-dance-events/, based on the new event date. Admin fees will be waived.

Thank you so much for your patience as we've reorganised this event. We're really excited to see you again at the earliest opportunity.
