Sunday T-Dance - JitterBug Swing

We are excited to propose the revival of a cherished tradition, the Sunday Tea Dance, blending the elegance of traditional ballroom with the edge of modern club culture. 

This event aims to bridge the generational gap within the LGBTQ+ community, fostering a connection between past and present while celebrating the diversity and resilience of queer histories. For more information read our Sunday T-Dance Brief. 

Pay £10 and you can access the following activities.   

• Dance lessons: for each taster we will be exploring a dance style for a specific genre.  Note all dances will include seated and wheelchair formats
• Queer History:  there will be a talk and discussion on the queer history around swing. We are going to explore the intersectional background behind this diverse dance tradition.  
• Tea & Cakes:  We will be selling a selection of teas and cakes/deserts that are tailored to the particular genre.  
• Zines:  You will have the opportunity to take part in creating a live record of the event which will document everything that happenned including photos, quotes, queer history snippets, teas and cakes recipes and dance moves!  
• Living Histories:  We will be recording anyone's experiences with queer dance and how it affected/enabled their identity.  

All activities will have additional options which you can pay extra for.  Such as personal tuition, conversations, bespoke teas, mocktails, cakes, deserts.
