Additional First Class Services

If you are looking for more features for your function or additional wedding entertainment ideas, we can help arrange a number of services.

Swing Dance Class

We also offer an additional 'swing dance' class before our performance from a professional swing dance teacher. Dance learners 'rotate' partners during the class, so everyone is introduced to many people very quickly. It's a great way to break the ice at your party or event, or a really pleasant and enjoyable way for your colleagues to meet, cooperate and learn about each other. They'll love it!
