About the event

We have an action packed evening for our members and guests, in the panoramic event space at HOME in Manchester.

Proceedings will begin with an update from the current admin board, before members will nominate and vote for this year's leadership team.

We're thrilled to be welcoming Corina Kwami, who will be leading a discussion, exploring the history of swing dance, aiming to give context to help with our understanding and approach today.

After the talk, there's just time to grab some food in the downstairs bar or restaurant, before Corina returns to sing live with our friends from The Big Easy.
