It looks like you’re using Microsoft Internet Explorer as your web browser. This is now considered ‘end-of-life’, and Microsoft is withdrawing support for it because it uses outdated technology. This means that it will no longer receive important security updates and previous bugs will not be fixed.

This means that the risk and cost are placed on service providers to develop twice for modern browsers and again for Internet Explorer. As free, modern alternatives are available for most platforms it is difficult to justify spending public money on further development.

Swing dance classes in Liverpool city centre.

Weekly classes – Learn Lindy Hop & Charleston – Wednesday 7-9pm

Whether you’re a pro or have two left feet, our classes are welcoming, with a focus on getting to know people and having fun. If you’ve never danced before, no worries, and if you don’t have a partner- we have plenty usually.  

We have a beginners class for people new to swing dance and our main class is suitable for people who’ve been dancing for 2 or more months. ​

About classes 

This class will be a great way to start or get back into Lindy hop. There are two options to join in and two ways to pay:

Dance in a pair 

Turn up with your mate and stay with that partner for the whole class. One of you will dance ‘Lead’ and the other ‘Follow’ you can choose to switch roles within your partnership throughout the block of classes.

Dance in the circle 

Turn up on your own, or with your mate(s) and rotate partners throughout the class. If you’ve been to class in the ‘before times’ this is how we’re used to running things. 

Social dancing

There will be social dancing after class open to whoever attended. No one is under pressure to dance with anyone they’re uncomfortable with, everyone is free to ask and everyone is free to say “no” and everyone is OK with that.

Can I come if I have a disability/ issue that might make it hard for me to partner dance?

We welcome anyone to Mersey Swing. A few of our team and members have disabilities so you won’t be alone. We’re not experts, but we’ll work with you to make sure you have a good time. You can either rock up on the night and see how you go, or you can give us an email ahead of time.
