Take the beginner taster class at the start of the night and then enjoy the sounds of the vintage DJs and a live band.

Dress up or dress down for the evening. There will be lots of moving about and dancing so be sure to wear comfy shoes and get ready to swing.

Now in its new Friday night slot, Swing Live! (formally known as Bishopsgate Swing) has been running at Bishopsgate Institute for ten years.

In partnership with Swing Patrol.
