DRESS: Some people like to dress up in their finest vintage clothes but the most important thing is to wear what's comfortable for you to move in and most importantly comfortable footwear.
PRICE: Tickets are €18 if purchased on line or €20 cash at the door (if we don't sell out in advance).
REFUNDS: We offer refunds (minus the €1.50 booking fee) up to the day before the event. You can also re-assign your ticket on TITO if you sell it to someone else.
TRAVEL: There is plenty of parking at Leinster Cricket Club for attendees. Rathmines has excellent bus links to the city centre and if you want to stretch your legs it's about a half an hour walk.
CODE: We want everyone that comes to our swing dance events to feel completely at home and to have as much fun as possible. We all can play our part in ensuring that happens. Some of our friends have come together to develop a code for swing dance events in Ireland to help remind us all to be kind to one another.
