Dorset Swinging Ball Returns

The Dorset Swinging Ball returns to Weymouth Pavilion on Sat 4th December 2021! Miss Annie and The Midnight Shift return as the feature band after a wonderful show at the same event in 2019.

Our COVID-Safe plan should fill you with confidence that you can enjoy a splendid evening of dancing and socialising with friends.

This Swinging Themed Ball is open to all, whether you want to spend all night dancing or prefer to kick back and watch the show.

This event will follow a similar format to 2019's hugely popular Dorset Swinging Xmas Ball held in Weymouth Pavilion, a format which has been honed over nearly 20 years of running similar Swinging Balls in Hampshire.

These events attract some of the UK and Europe's finest jive and swing bands.

More Than Just a Live Band Event

Our Swinging Balls are more than just a live band event though. Guests are invited to dress appropriately for retro / festive theme - but keep it light-hearted, this is a theme evening and just for fun! Our team will be busy dressing the venue, especially for the night!

The band will be supported by swinging DJs and a warm-up lesson. The DJ team will play a great mix of swing, rock’n’roll and rhythm and blues music.

Weymouth Pavilion offers a spacious dance floor, ample seating and tables plus a fully licensed bar. Being located on the seafront the venue offers a fabulous location, beautiful views and a large car park on-site. We expect to attract dancers from all over the South.

Our Swinging Balls have featured some of the finest performers for dancers, acts including The Regular Joes, The Jive Aces, Mike Sanchez, Si Cranstoun, King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys and The Swing Commanders have all appeared at our Swinging Balls over the years. We're confident that this evening will bring just as much joy to attendees.
