Oxford Swing Dance continue their program of events with the Sunday afternoon OSD Summertown Swing Tea Dance February 2024. Pay £6 on the door.
It is the second Sunday of the month and that means it is time to come along for a lovely afternoon of Jazz Swing music, swing dancing, and a friendly welcome for everyone. This month sees the end of ‘The January Blues’ and we start to see the evenings get just that little bit lighter. It is a sure sign that Spring is on the way.
Our DJs will be at work again to play some seasonal favourites as well as other great swing tunes to get your happy feet tapping. We play everything from the 1920s to the 2020s. There is an old school CD DJ set as well as more modern digital formats remastered from the originals. All this for your dancing pleasure as we keep the swing beat pounding and send out the crazy rhythm across the dance floor.
For those who enjoy a treat there will be some wonderful cake to enjoy with your tea and coffee. There will also be some savoury snacks for those who don’t have a sweet tooth. We are particularly known for our vegan options which really are gorgeous. Come along and catch up with friends for a relaxed and enjoyable afternoon of music and dancing.
OSD Summertown Swing Social offers a welcome to everyone and tries to provide a unique environment where dancers are able to bring their non-dancing family and children. It’s perfect for young families who don’t feel they get the time to get out to dance anymore. It also provides an opportunity to catch up on what everyone has been up to. We spotted a few toddlers recently who have been studying mum and dad’s dance moves and are already looking destined to be swing dancers in the future. We look forward to seeing that happen.
There have also been a lot of visitors recently with people driving from as far as Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Bedford, Bristol and Birmingham. We hope to see all of you for this special end to the year of events. Its also a great way to meet new people and chat whilst you dance the afternoon away. Come and meet new dancing friends and catch up with others you haven’t seen in ages. The venue has free car parking which makes it really convenient too. If the car park does over spill there is also free parking on the street on a Sunday. St Michael’s offers a lovely venue to spend the afternoon with a great dance floor to bust your best moves.
Just come along and pay £6 each on the door. We take cash or a contactless payment.
If you have been attending our swing dance classes and are thinking about taking your first steps onto the social dance floor, then this is a warm, friendly and supportive environment to do it. Join us for a great afternoon of music, dancing chatting and cake. Remember that cake is guilt free as long as you keep dancing!
