PLEASE NOTE: WE DON'T EXIST!

We had a great time running Upbeat Swing Dance in South Yorkshire, up until 2020, but we have since moved on to other towns and other careers.

So while we appreciate your interest in learning swing dance locally, this is no longer something we can help you with. Please don't call or email.

If you wish to learn swing dance in South Yorkshire, your best bet is perhaps Lindy Hop Sheffield. Check them out on Facebook for more info.

RotherHop is Upbeat...

... because we're now offering the same fun, friendly classes in Rotherham and Barnsley! Please scroll down for details (including our monthly social).

We can also supply authentic 1920s-40s dance tuition to your event -- please see Events/Corporate for info!

You can learn swing dance, too...

... with fun, friendly, sociable classes suitable for beginners and old hands dusting off their dancing shoes.

Beginners are very much welcome at any point in our rolling, 10-week fundamentals course. Extra classes look at more advanced steps, social dancing and strolls.

** And your first class is ABSOLUTELY FREE! **

Please see our Facebook page or scroll down for the details!

Upbeat offers affordable dance classes...

... for adults in Rotherham and now Barnsley, too! It exists to foster a love of swing dance by hosting classes and social events in these towns.

Classes at both locations cost £5 per person, or £7 for both classes in a night.

Our Rotherham classes are on Monday nights at Triple Threat Studios, Nine Trees Trading Estate, Morthen Rd, S66 9JG (between Wickersley and Thurcroft).

Our Barnsley classes are on Wednesday nights at Kim Frost School of Dance, Archway House, Langdale Rd, S71 1AQ (central, near public transport links).

We also run a monthly social...

... at Soho Music Institute, in central Barnsley! From 2pm to 6pm on the last Sunday of the month, Upbeat brings top tunes for swing kids, jivers and rock 'n' rollers.

If you don't dance, don't worry! There will be at least two classes included in the price of entry! (£5 for a dance ticket, £2.50 non-dancers, kids under 16 go free.)

Want even more?! Okay! Each person purchasing a dance ticket (£5) will be entered into raffles for fabulous prizes provided by our lovely sponsors.

Please see our Facebook page for the latest info and listings. Catch you on the dance floor...!

Upbeat is very active on Facebook...

... where you can find out about upcoming classes, exhibitions and special events.

If you're not a member of Facebook, please get in touch by email or phone, or see below.

Upbeat is available to hire...

... for private coaching, vintage day dance demos, party entertainment and more.

If you have a themed event coming up and you think RotherHop could add some retro glamour, please contact us or see Corporate for more!

RotherHop (now Upbeat Swing) brought some retro glamour to Rotherham Real Ale and Music Festival 2018, hosting a vintage tea party there!
