    What the Papers say....

    Capital D, 2011 "The romance of the jazz era. Lovely colourful atmosphere. Amazing, stylish and elegant! It's such a fun thing to do!"

    Le Cool, 2011 "Lads, bust out the Brylcreem; girls, twirl up those Victory rolls and let's hold hands and sashay down to the Grand Social for a cheeky fling around the dancefloor. Twirling, kicking and flicking is back in vogue with jazz and showband influences creeping into music at the moment, getting us moving again after a decade of the almost stationary pump and grind. The beginners lessons start from scratch every week and the post-lesson extravaganza is where you can really finesse your new skills and advance them by dancing with the seasoned regulars, so hop on down!"  

    Irish Time, 2010 "Ridiculously good fun...Irresistible! Perfect for anyone who likes to party in old-school style."

    Dubliner Magazine, 2010 "The band rustle up a mix of gut-busting tunes....the atmosphere crackles as the dance floor explodes into life."

    Totally Dublin, 2010 "a brilliant night of jazz and swinging cabaret"

    Daily Mail, 2007 - "one of the most fun nights out I've had in ages....SwingTime, which encapsulates those 1930's and 1940's days of decadence, is making a comeback, and with it the velvet tones and glamour of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Ella Fitzgerald. After years of formulaic and tacky night clubbing, there's really no better way to party...... Swing dancing is a dance of craziness and beauty.....After the class finished and the club started, the real fun began. The bar transformed into something resembling the Savoy Ballroom circa 1947, as the young, gorgeous and glamorous, clad in vintage gear, flooded the dancefloor.....It's easy to see the appeal of Swing dancing - the physical energy, the old world glamour and the heady romance of the dancefloor!"

    The Sunday Independent, 2007 – “girls dressed up like glamorous pre-war pin-ups .. men looked fabulous in sharp suits and spats….This is so hot…watching a tall, sexy man jitterbug across the dance floor, spinning his flexible partner with abandon. Outside on the cobblestones we danced our own version of swing … it’s about being able to just let yourself go.”

    The Independent 2005 – “the bar takes on the atmosphere of the ballrooms of America in the 1950’s…..it’s addictive …..the happy dancers take to the floor to swing the night away.”
