Wowzer!! The Letchworth Vintage Festival, was a HUGE success, with the most amazing sunny weather.
Thousands of people, attended over two days, from all over England, filling the town centre streets. Led by Joseph & Charlotte, JiveSwing created 3 stages, with a great atmosphere, including dance classes, social dancing, live bands, fashion shows, vintage DJ's and performances, by The JiveSwing Hoppers and Charlie's Angels. Massive thanks to all the JiveSwing Crew and Volunteers, that came to help and support, this weekend. We couldn't have done it so well, without your help on the day.
Watchout for the newbies joining JiveSwing over the coming days...

'NEW FORMAT'.

We will resume Bands on a monthly basis, later in the year, as it's an important part of swing dancers development.
