New to swing? Start here.

Never danced before? Perfect — our beginners' class assumes you're starting from scratch. No partner needed (we rotate, so everyone dances), no booking. Come along at 7pm in comfy clothes and flat, smooth-soled shoes, and bring a bottle of water. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming and a lot of fun — we were all beginners once.

Mondays

Lindy Hop

The original swing dance, born in 1920s Harlem — joyful, energetic and endlessly social. This is our home style, taught every Monday. Beginners 7–8pm · social & practice 8–8.45pm · improvers 8.45–9.45pm.

Tuesdays (in blocks)

Balboa

Our sister group, Glasgow Balboa, teaches this fast, close-embrace dance in roughly 8-week blocks at Woodside Halls. Ideal when the music gets quick.

Our annual festival

Fast Feet Fest

Each year, Glasgow Lindyhoppers and Glasgow Balboa host Fast Feet Fest — a high-energy weekend of Balboa and Collegiate Shag with international teachers, live music and historic Glasgow venues. Our most recent edition ran in March 2026. Dates for the next festival will be announced here once confirmed.
