Hopping Mad? 20 Years Ago, I Said YES!

On 14 October 2006, I said YES… to ME!

I made the big decision to leave school teaching behind and take a leap into the unknown, following my passion for music and dance.

Andy and I organised a little Lindy Jazz launch. We thought perhaps 20 people might turn up.

80 people came!

I was completely overwhelmed! We even had to turn people away, including some who have since become very good friends!

You don't know what you don't know, and I certainly had no idea what lay ahead.

Twenty years later, I'm looking back on an extraordinary journey filled with dancing, laughter, challenges, friendships and so many wonderful memories.

Would I do it all again? Absolutely!

I'm so glad I said YES, and incredibly grateful to everyone who has been part of our Lindy Jazz journey.

Now I'd love to hear from you!

When did you first discover Lindy Jazz? Were you there in the early days? What's your favourite memory?

Do share your stories in the comments. I'd love to reminisce with you!

One of the loveliest things about a dance night is simply being together.

Come and join Joo-Lee & Andy, our Lindy Jazz dancers, The Bright Street Big Band, DJ Andy and Lucy for a relaxed Saturday night of swing.

“But I don’t really know how to swing dance…”
Perfect. You can still come!

Our Swing Band Dance Night begins with a short, friendly Swing Dance Taster designed to give complete beginners a few simple moves to enjoy during the evening.
There’s no pressure to get anything “right”. Have a go, have a laugh and then decide whether you want to dance some more - or simply enjoy listening to The Bright Street Big Band.

Experienced dancers are very welcome too, so we’ll have a lovely mixture of people on the floor.

Have you ever wondered how partner dancing actually works?
How can two people dance together to a live band without memorising a routine - or knowing what step is coming next?
It can sometimes look as though they’re reading each other’s minds.
They’re not! It’s the wonderful conversation between leading and following.
Come and discover how it works with Lindy Jazz at the Durham Jazz Festival.

💃 Leading & Following Workshop + Social Dance to Swing DJ set 🕺
Sunday 25 October | 2:30–4:30pm
St Oswald’s Institute, Durham
Learn a few simple tips and tricks to make partner dancing feel clearer, more flowing and effortless and then put them into practice on the dance floor.

Week 2 at Lindy Jazz and so much fun!

We’re practising new moves, dancing with lots of different people and gradually putting all those little building blocks together.

Lovely to see our more experienced dancers helping and encouraging our newer dancers too. That’s what Lindy Jazz is all about - learning together, having a laugh and enjoying the dancing. 💃🎶🕺
