The Henley Jazz Festival Presents The Big Band Swing Dance

The Henley Jazz Festival Present - The Big Band Swing Dance!

Get ready to cut a rug at The Big Band Swing Dance! Dust off your best suit and dancing shoes and step back to the electric energy of the late 1930’s and 40’s - the golden era of Big Band Swing! Denny Ilett and his hand-picked 17-piece big band will blast out the hits of the day from legendary bandleaders such as Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Harry James, Woody Herman and many more.
Expect non-stop classics such as Take The A Train, Jumpin’ At The Woodside, Two O’Clock Jump and the iconic Sing, Sing, Sing!
New to the floor? No sweat! Our pro teachers will show you the ropes with a pre-show ‘taster’ class giving you the essential steps to get your swing on point before the band kicks into gear.

Dress to Impress: Think 30’s & 40’s vintage - sharp suits and swirling skirts! There’s a prize for the best-dressed dancer on the floor.
