Sunday Tea Dance in Oxford includes refreshments!

 

Join us on Sunday 13th September for the next Summertown Swing Sunday Tea Dance Club. It is an afternoon of fabulous music, social dancing and traditional tea dance hospitality in Summertown, Oxford.

Our Sunday Tea Dance brings a little 1940s glamour to a relaxed Sunday afternoon. St Michael’s Church Hall is dressed for the occasion with colourful fabric bunting, while our DJs provide the soundtrack with wonderful original Big Band Jazz and Swing from the golden age of dancing.

Dance on a wonderful Oxford dance floor

One of the pleasures of dancing at St Michael’s is it’s superb wooden dance floor. Add our purpose-built sound system and carefully selected music, and we have everything we need for three hours of great social dancing.

Lindy Hop, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, Jive and other swing dance styles are all welcome. We also love it when we see a Foxtrot or Quickstep on our dance floor and you are free to dance any style you wish. You don’t need to arrive with a partner, and there’s no pressure to dance every number. Come to dance, socialise, enjoy the music or simply soak up the atmosphere.

Tea, cake and cucumber sandwiches

Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper Sunday Tea Dance without afternoon tea.

Throughout the afternoon we’ll be serving tea, coffee and squash alongside cakes and cucumber sandwiches. Everything is included in the £6 admission price. We make every effort to keep the event affordable and open to everyone, whilst also ensuring that everyone feels special.

Whether you’re one of our regular dancers or have never visited us before, you’ll receive a warm welcome.

Come and spend a September Sunday afternoon with us: three hours of music, dancing, tea and cake, a beautiful dance floor and the unmistakable sound of the Big Band era.

We look forward to welcoming you to St Michael’s on Sunday 13th September.
