Scotland Swing Storm


Hello Dancers,

Only 7 days left until the early-bird discount price of £70 finishes for Scotland Swing Storm.  From March 1st it's £80 for the full weekend.   We also have social passes on sale for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.  Individual passes can be bought at the door, but Sunday tickets will be extremely limited on the door.  For registrations and social passes go to www.scotlandswingstorm.com

We're also gearing up for the Scottish Swing Dance championships on Saturday March 13.  There aren't many lindy hop competitions in the UK, so this is a great opportunity to work on your dancing and get some competition experience.  There are 4 competitions so something for everyone, no matter how long you've been dancing or whether you have a partner or not.  Sign up at www.scotlandswingstorm.com

We're also really glad we can announce a return of blues dancing to Aberdeen and Edinburgh.  We have regular dates locked in for Blues dancing on a Sunday in Aberdeen at O'Neills in Aberdeen with Craig Thomson plus guests, Ben and Helen Birns.  details below.

Finally, for anyone who has been looking to buy Aris Allan dance shoes but doesn't want to purchase over the net, we've got a dancer coming to Edinburgh and Glasgow who is a re-seller and you can try before you buy.  Details below
