Tips for using Instagram to find a dance
- Clips from class are the quickest way to see a school's style before you go.
- Festival accounts announce line-ups and ticket releases first.
- Check the bio link for the organiser's booking page.
Prefer to see times and venues first?
Every class and social on Swing Out UK is checked against the organiser's own website: try classes near you, every town or what's on this month. Also on social media: Facebook · Meetup.
