SOLD OUT The Ball is now sold out. We hope you’re got your ticket! (after party tickets still available until tomorrow)
This is a proper Swing Ball where you step out in style. This is why you learn! One of London’s stunning dance halls, a live swing band and everyone dressed up in swinging style… this is a night to impress.
It’s called “Meet the Scene” Ball as a lot of new dancers will be attending so here is your chance to meet others from around the community.
The night will feature a small floor show, a fun beginner lesson at the start of the night, a chance to ensure you are professionally photographed all dressed up and lots of dancing.

Your venue colour!
As a crazy Swing Patrol tradition we try and make this particular Swing Ball as beginner friendly as possible. As a rather fun way of finding your “team” or those you learn with each week… your venue is assigned a colour. It doesn’t mean Angel people have to where RED zoot suits… it just means ”a touch of” and you can interpret this as you please.

Angel… Red
Battersea Park… Yellow
Bloomsbury… Purple
Blues in My Shoes… Rose
Camberwell… Spots
