Location
The workshop will be at:
St Mathews Church,11 Summerhill St, Newcastle upon Tyne NE4 6EJ
11:00am to 18:00
Teachers
All Classes will be run by Swing Tyne teachers.
Level
The classes are designed for both beginners and improvers (Dancers who have been dancing for less than 1 year and also those that want to improve/hone their technique). Or, an opportunity to learn the alternative role to your norm or switch!
These will be progressive and ensure that everyone attending will benefit.
We will explore fundamental techniques, movement, connection, quality of dance, core shag vocabulary, and variations that will enhance your individual level of dancing.
No dance partner is required however a balance of leads and followers is needed so there may be a wait list until an opposite role is booked.
Cost
The cost of this event will be £15 per person (£7.50 for concessions)
Tickets can only be pre-purchased to ensure that we are within the capacity of the hall. Book via the dance cloud link.
Dancers attending this 1 day workshop should then have all the skills ready for the improvers/intermediate workshop we’re planning for later in the year.

Please bring Slippery soled shoes for dancing. Spare socks and a change of shirt always goes down well if you have been putting in a lot of effort and being considerate of your dance partners (and maybe some deodorant).
Concessions
Concession prices are for those who are students/unemployed/ low waged, and we ask that anyone who can afford the standard priced tickets please purchase one. We are a non-profit charity so every £ paid is used for our dancing community.
No refunds will be given and No tickets are to be resold (you can re-allocate your ticket). Swing Tyne will try to sell your place and if successful a refund will be issued (up until the 15th April 2024).
