Bellehoppers are a group of friends who honour the authentic styles of the ‘20s through to the ‘50s. With a passion for all things vintage, they have been dancing as a group for over 3 years as well as having a combined dance experience of over 12 years.

The groups’ aim is to bring recognition to timeless dance styles, such as the Charleston and the Lindy Hop, so that others can enjoy them as much as they do. They achieve this by running classes in solo Charleston and partner Lindy Hop at the Crescent Arts Centre, where they teach the authentic styles and techniques of both dance in fun filled classes for all.

In addition, they also organise a successful swing night called 8 to the Bar which runs throughout the year and pays homage to the classic social dancing tradition with performances, dancing, a mix of the best tunes from the ‘20s through to the ‘50s, guest DJs and even a few surprises thrown in.

The Bellehoppers are also available for events, performances, DJing and private tuition. For more information, please contact
