D-Day Dance

People dressed in 1940s style dancing at the National Army Museum
Put on your dancing shoes and jive back in time to the 1940s at this after-hours event at the National Army Museum.

Swing, Jitterbug and Jive the night away at this special after-hours dance event.

Whether you’re a beginner or already know your way around the floor, SwingdanceUK will show how it’s done. From Lindy Hop to Jitterbug, they’ll soon have you jiving onto the dance floor with their beginner and intermediate lessons.

With live music from South London Jazz Orchestra and cabaret from the Diamond Girls, you’ll be shaking and shimmying to the best sounds of the ‘40s.

Hair and makeup artists Pretty Me Vintage will be on hand (7.00pm to 10.00pm) to keep you looking the part.
