Get Back Into The Swing With a Beginners Refresher Workshop!

If your SwingJive moves need a bit of practice then our Beginner's Refresher Workshop is perfect for you! This is a stand-alone evening workshop, open to anybody who has started a 10-week Absolute Beginners SwingJive course with us at any time, no matter how long ago!

With a running time of 2 hours 15 minutes, the instructors will have time to run through the key parts of the Absolute Beginners SwingJive course. This workshop would suit you if:

  • your Absolute Beginners SwingJive course was interrupted prior to the first lockdown
  • you're planning on joining a continuation SwingJive course this term and want a quick brush-up on the basics
  • you took our Beginners Course in the past and want to jog your memory without spending 10 weeks learning

This workshop is not suitable for complete beginners who have never started one of our courses before. We recommend that you book the free trial coming up next week.

Run-Through of the Beginners Course

This workshop evening is a great opportunity for you to get back in the dance hall and practice your moves after the enforced absence. The instructor will cover the contents of the Absolute Beginners 10-week SwingJive course. This will be covered at a tempo that suits those who have enjoyed our classes in the past but whose SwingJive has since lapsed. We also ensure plenty of free practice time to let you add the moves to your existing repertoire.

COVID-safe Classes

Making our classes COVID-safe is a high priority and we have a plan in place to help achieve this. Please check over our plan, by booking we understand that you are happy to go ahead with classes on the basis of the plan. This workshop is available on a first-come-first-serve basis and numbers will be limited in line with our COVID-safe plan.

Finding The Upper Sports Hall

For classes in the Upper Sports Hall, it is best to park in the top car park to the left as you enter the Leisure Centre entrance from the main road.  Follow the car park to the end, where you will find large main gates into the school grounds.  Go through the double gates and bear right.  The Upper Sports Hall is on your right-hand side (running parallel with the top car park).

Finding The Lower Sports Hall

Once parked, please walk onto the school site via the large double gates to the school slightly down the driveway and on the opposite side to the Leisure Centre. From the entrance gates, follow a U-shaped walk along the main driveway into the school to a central pedestrian square. After reaching the square turn right, go to the end of the square and then turn right again. From the square, you can then follow a pathway straight ahead to the Lower Sports Hall building. Enter the building and the Sports Hall is on the right-hand side.
