Stick around after the workshops for a potluck dinner altogether, followed by social dancing. Bring along something to share (homemade, shop-bought, sweet, savoury - all welcome), grab a plate, have a catch up and a dance. There’s shops in the area, and we’ll also make sure there’s plenty to share!
(Of course if the universe is stopping you from joining the workshop, or you want to invite more friends, there will be some tickets for the potluck social on the door.)

A familiar face on London's dance floors and plenty further afield, Katie (she/they) tried many different dance styles before falling in love with Swing. The freedom of improvisation, the satisfaction of rhythm and the deep historical and Black cultural roots of the dance made her want to learn more.
She is now known for her classroom energy, musicality, and infectious enthusiasm for all things Jazz. When it comes to dance, they deeply value self expression and fully committing to the idea. As a teacher, she focuses on individually helping her students on their own dance journeys and finds so much joy in seeing them grow.
Katie holds first place titles at, International Lindy Hop Championships, Balkan Lindy Hop Championships and Savoy Cup. When not throwing down in international competitions they are teaching all over the world in more than 20 countries sharing what they have learned. When not on the dance floor you might find them in a waacking class or on the stage at their local drag bar as Azure Thang.

We are super excited to see what these two share with us, and we can't wait to see you there too!
Any questions feel free to reach out to Victoria & Fargol 💙
