If you’ve ever wondered about our Facebook group’s photo, it’s a photo of us dancing at the Tate Modern for the Thames Festival a few years ago.

And guess what, the swinging stage is this year located back at the Tate Modern.

The Festival runs for two days, and features the best bands and DJs, and a few dance lessons from the likes of LSDS and Maddy’s Jiving School.

For full details of the event and the line up, see the links below.
