• Two classes and a Liverpool walking tour- all on the Saturday, all boss!
• One Smackdown- a showcase of all of the amazing talent in our Swing community

Saturday Daytime Classes - TBC

Saturday Evening - TBC

Sunday Afternoon - Lark Lane Police Station, 80 Lark Lane, Liverpool, L17 8UU

Tickets

One pass - follow lead switch options choose your preferred role, and please dance in that role for 75% of the event

Couple pass - this should be a balanced couple of lead/follow

PAYA Pass (pay as you're able)- if costs might stop you attending, you can choose this option and pay whatever you're able, no questions asked. We release one of these tickets for every 10 full-price tickets sold so there may be a waiting list, but we'll do what we can. Register and send us an email to be added on the list.

Parents and Carers pass- if you're a parent, carer or someone who may not be able to attend a full weekend, we're offering the option to share a ticket. These tickets are the equivalent of one pass- so there can only be one of you in the room at a time. Send us an email when you register for more information.

We are also offering the option to pay a 50% deposit to secure your place to help spread the cost of the weekend.

If you've got any questions about Liverpool, or the event, get in touch and we'll help you out!

Classes TBC (not your usual Lindy Weekend Classes!) 

These WILL NOT be Lindy Hop classes. We love to show you what our city has to offer and that includes lots of other dance styles. 

The Smackdown

We’ve always had competitions at the Smackdown but this year is going to be a little different. No competition, just a showcase of how awesome you all are! If you have a routine you've been working on and would like to show off, let us know and we'll put you/your group in the line up.
