One Day Workshops
During the year, The Swing Project regularly hosts one day workshops to feed your appetite for all things swing.
The focus of each workshop varies - from musicality and connection in Lindy Hop, to Solo Jazz, Balboa, Blues and Shag - with each providing a stimulating and nurturing atmosphere to explore new ideas and expand your learning.

Often called "a dancer's dance", Balboa is a swing dance originating in California in the 1920s characterized by its close embrace and rhythmic weight shift changes. When faster tempos are flooding the dancerfloor, Bal is a great way to glide across the floor and a fun addition to your Swing Dancing repertoire.
Our Balboa Bootcamp is made up of a series of workshops aimed at bringing all levels together to build great fundamentals, better dancefloor communication and fun shufflin’ adventures. New to Bal? No Problem. Already got some steps under your belt but looking to take your Bal up a notch? We've got you covered too!
This workshop is open to all levels.
“I’ve danced for a long time now in many different styles and in many different scenes, but these workshops and tea dances have been amongst the most enjoyable I’ve attended.”
“These workshops provide excellent value for money, a superb variety of content and the opportunity to social dance afterwards to practice what you’ve learnt. Plus there’s cake...so much cake!”
“Attending Saturday Swing Out workshops is definitely one of the best decisions we have made and we can honestly say we love every minute of each of them - Thanks Jessie!”
