Bringing Swinging Feet To Falmer Back Bar
Come and take a peek, this Tuesday night, as our society swing dancers take to the floor. We'll be kicking, clapping and swivelling to your favourite swing tunes over the student chatter and clinking of drinks!
>>>House mates and friends are welcome!<<< Have a casual drink and a good time. There'll be an opportunity to learn a few simple moves if you're feeling brave enough. It could just be the start of your swing repertoire! You never know ;) NO CHARGE |

campus music festival by Sussex records
Time yet to be announced
Sussex Records, a record label with Sussex student artists and bands at the forefront, we are holding a festival on campus. There will be live music in Falmer bar and IDS bar, followed by a headline act performing in Mandela hall in the evening. To complete the day, the Swing society will be dancing and performing in East Slope Bar. It's a great opportunity to meet us and see first hand what we get up to. |
Performance Team recruitment
Date yet to be announced
The Swing at Sussex performance team is due to expand! Get up on stage and shake your thing to a live audience, get thrown in the air (and caught—hopefully!), improve your dancing skills and have a great time. If you are comfortable with swinging out, lindy turns/ circles and basic Charleston then don't hesitate to sign up in the new term! |

UPCOMING PROJECTS
swing society music video collaboration - exclusive to UK universities
Sussex University Swing Society are planning on hosting a collaborative project between Swing Societies across the UK. We would issue a song for which each participating university would film their students' interpretive response. This could be social dancing, performing or some other form of creativity; there are no stated restrictions for the content. From this material, we will create and publish a montage of clips to celebrate student swing dance on a large scale! |
Swing Society T-shirts
The committee will be modelling swing society t-shirts during the first term for you guys to order during the second.
Student Spotify music playlist
We are creating an official Swing Society playlist full of your favourite tunes!
If you have particular songs that you find irresistible to dance to, then share the song title and artist via email or onto our facebook group. We will publish the playlist once we have received your contributions and will continue to add to it. |
