Looking forward to it especially if they have the ‘dance floor police’ keeping non-dancers off the dance floor.  Worked really well last year.

Looks like a lot of fun!
Will there be Jive tips and lessons for beginners?
And, is it all open-air, or is part of it covered?
The weather looks ominous but I’m going to come anyway : )

This is the best event along the Thames if you are into Vintage music, great bands and dancing. Shames it’s not on Saturday as well like last year

Cannot wait!
Absolutely love this stage - great DJs, established bands and new discoveries. The scene’s grown quite a bit in the past year, so I hope the dance floor’s big enough!
