Swing performance and training

The Honey Hoppers

About

The Honey Hoppers are an amateur swing dance (Lindy hop, vernacular jazz and charleston mostly) performance and training group lead by Holly France assisted by Romayne Etwaroo. The  focus of this group is equal on both performance and training, we want to nurture confident dancers on the stage, as well as on the social dance floor who have  creativity whilst doing their best to  appreciate the history and roots of this dance.  The group is very supportive of each other, the members always help each other  out along the way, we believe everyone has something they can bring to the group.

They  have performed at The Lyllian Baylis Theatre, Sadlers Wells, Toynbee Arts Centre, Lylian Baylis, Laban, Zedels, Swing at Sway, Watford Big Dance, Holborn Community Association and One Great Day as well as many other charity and community events.

We aim to be inclusive, if you have any access needs we would love to accommodate.

 Both Holly and Romayne are experienced in facilitating sessions for people with disabilities. Currently our studio is up a flight of stairs, do let us now if this is problematic for you, we are happy to look into alternatives

We rehearse  7-9 every Tuesday at Ugly Duck near London Bridge 47/49 Tanner Street, London, SE1 3PL. We typically have 2-3 main performances each year, with other low key  performance opportunities throughout the year.
