C Jam is Swingland’s weekly Tuesday night swing dance and music club at renowned venue The Bedford in South London - learn with experienced professional teachers and dance to top swing DJs & occasional live bands. C Jam is respected internationally as the must-visit London club for Lindy hoppers

Lindy hop is the original swing (jive) dance style – smooth, cool and flowing or highly athletic and energetic, but always happy and playful. With roots in the Charleston, Breakaway and other styles, it is danced primarily to Big Band Swing but can be danced to everything from hot jazz, early rnb, rock’n’roll and lounge swing.

Come and join us to learn and dance on Tuesdays from 7pm – just turn up, no need to book and no partner needed either!


CLASSES
7.15pm – beginners swing dance (Lindy hop) class

Learn all the basics with simple fun routines aimed at getting you dancing quickly - with plenty of emphasis on good lead/follow technique and connection as with all Swingland's classes!

No experience required. Absolute beginners always welcome!


8.15pm – practice

A short practice - and if you're not doing the next class grab a drink and stay for more dancing/practice from 9pm!


8.30pm – Improvers/intermediates Lindy hop class

Move your dancing to the next level!


DANCING
9pm – practice and open dancing

From 9pm it's freestyle time - try out the moves you've learnt, or sit down, have a drink and watch what's going on (The Bedford has a large fully licensed bar downstairs - several actually! - and you can bring drinks up to the Ballroom). Resident DJ Martin & occasional guests play "the best swing music in town" and are happy to take requests too.

Occasionally we’ll have a live band and these nights always bring out the best Lindy hoppers, so don’t miss them!
