London Swing Cats Corner

A young and retro-minded crowd - plenty of wartime dresses and two-toned shoes - flock to this jam style jitterbug contest each month, the winning couple takes the full jackpot of at least £100. All styles of jitterbug allowed: Lindy Hop, shab, balboa, Charleston and jive variations. Beginners' and intermediates' classes until 9pm, then it's all on the dancefloor for the contest and club. See their website for competition rules.
