Swing at The Bothy
‘Swing at The Bothy’ is the notorious biweekly swing social dance run by The Swing Era, a swing dance school in Birmingham (United Kingdom).
The Bothy is a shed with rustic charm in the beer garden of the beautiful independent Prince of Wales pub in Moseley. ‘ Swing at the Bothy’ is sometimes referred to as Birmingham’s version of Herrang… but then a tiny notch smaller! Ever since The Swing Era started running classes at a nearby dance school in 2014 the students have come to The Bothy for a drink and a dance after class.
This is a FREE event, although we do take donations to help us put on live music nights.
8-9pm Beginners social dance practice (open to everyone, as long as you dance with beginners only)
9-11pm Social dance (open to all)
Every social we’ll have a fantastic DJ from our swing dance scene to play you the finest tunes…
**WORLD RECORD**
We boldly claim that The Bothy is the tiniest social dance floor IN THE WORLD! Read why:

1920s Charleston workshop
get stuck in with this decadent pre-decessor of Lindy Hop that was danced during the infamous Prohibition Era. Think Roaring twenties, flapper and speakeasies. Also, 1920s Charleston is another one of those dance styles that is perfect to dance fast music…
