Read our latest monthly update
What's on in September
At Brighthelm Swing we keep our classes small on purpose. Smaller groups mean more time on your feet, more one-to-one feedback, and faster progress — whether you're brand new to swing or working on the finer points of your technique. Keith and Annie, who've been teaching since 2017, offer Lindy Hop, Balboa and Shag lessons across Patcham and the Steyning/Upper Beeding area, all drop-in, all £10 a class. No big anonymous rooms — just friendly groups, learning and improving their swing dancing.
