Welcome to our resources page, where you’ll find music to practise to, vintage videos to inspire you, and some galleries and historical background to swing music and dancing.

You’ll also find some links to other sites that will be useful as you learn to dance and venture into the social dancing world.

We don’t post class notes or copies of our syllabus here, but students are welcome to film material in class.
