The Lowdown

Calling all Flappers and Hoppers! It’s time to get the ’20s roaring again! Step underground and back in time with the Uptown Swing Dance Company, one of the UK’s finest purveyors of vintage dance, music and culture.

Jump straight in with a Charleston class before being unleashed onto the dancefloor, to the sounds of Palace Avenue Swing, a hard-swinging ensemble of top musicians led by the brilliant jazz maestro Hugo Simmonds.

With dance performances from Uptown Swing and The Bee’s Knees (and maybe a surprise or two), along with dusty grooves spun by 78rpm record collectors, you won’t be left wondering why they call them the roaring ’20s.
