A Swing Dance: Part II

A jazz event in Leeds built around swing, presented at the Howard Assembly Room, a venue in the city that hosts concerts and shows.

A Swing Dance: Part II is a jazz event in Leeds, built around swing, the style that emerged in the United States in the 1930s and was played by large bands arranged for dancing. The title's Part II marks it as a sequel in the same vein, with the emphasis on the music and the rhythms that made swing a dance-floor form.

The night suits listeners who enjoy swing jazz and those who want to dance to it. Swing dancing developed alongside the music as a partner dance, so the evening draws on both the listening and the dancing side of the style. It takes place at the Howard Assembly Room, a Leeds venue that hosts concerts and shows.
