Welcome to Joint’s a Hoppin’ – The lindy hop, balboa, shag and jive event for Surrey and Hampshire
A new lindy hop, swing and jive social dance event based at West End Social Club (WESC), West End, Woking, Surrey. We aim to provide a regular opportunity for lindy hoppers, swing dancers and jivers to strut their stuff in a comfortable, sociable and informal environment. If you haven’t got a smile on your face when you arrive there’s a strong chance you’ll have one when you leave.
Rip your stuff
The spacious dance floor provides scope-a-plenty for you to rip your lindy hop, balboa, swing and jive.
Next Event
The next Joint’s a Hoppin’ is on Friday 25th October. This record hop will again be bringing you the best of recorded music for your dancing delectation, by way of the fabbest duo of DJs: Flat Foot Al and RococoMo. Plus we have the amazing Grace Ashby getting things started again with a 40min easy warm-up lindy hop class starting promptly at 19:30. So, truck on down and join us for your finely fettled fix of swing and jive.
