BRIGHTON WEEKEND
TEACHER INFO

We’re really looking forward to welcoming you to Brighton for a weekend of swing dancing!

Weekend format

Two class levels: Intermediate and Advanced Lindy Hop

(We are also running a mini Improver stream but that will be taught by local teachers.)

The final class on Sunday could possibly be themed and open level so attendees can choose what they’d like to do, to be confirmed with you.

About Swing City

We’re four friends who started up Swing City in 2021 to offer a welcoming space for swing dancers in Brighton to get together and do what they love to do! We run weekly classes and swing dance socials, as well as workshops and band nights.

This is our second Brighton Weekend after a mini-weekend last year with Katie Cobalt & Mike Sonder.

We operate on a non-profit basis.

GETTING HERE

By plane: the nearest airport is London Gatwick, then direct train to Brighton (about half an hour).

By train: this is the best way to reach Brighton. There are regular direct trains from London and elsewhere.

By car: be aware that Brighton is a busy city with limited parking in the centre.

The two nearest car parks to the hotel:

RCP car park, North Road, Brighton BN1 1YR

NCP car park, Trafalgar Street, Brighton BN1 FE

Let us know if you plan to drive, we may be able to provide parking vouchers.

Once you’re in Brighton, everything is within easy walking distance.
