About

We are Reading University Swing Dance Society (RUSDS)!

We meet every Wednesday evening for our dance classes during term time for everybody from complete beginners to experience dancers.  Throughout the year we teach Lindy Hop, Charleston and Shim Sham.

We also attend and sometimes host regular local social swing dance events, keep an eye on our Instagram and Facebook pages for any events we are attending or hosting.  These events are perfect for practicing any moves from classes, learning new ones from other people and dancing with different people.

All our classes and events are open to anybody, both students and non-students.  Age and dance ability do not matter – we are 100% beginner-friendly.  So whether you have never danced in your life, have danced other dances but fancy something new, or are a seasoned lindy-hopper new to the area – do come along and meet us.

If you have any questions, check-out our FAQ page, or contact us.  Most dancers we know put-off trying/learning for years, and now thoroughly regret not trying it sooner!  We’re the ideal beginner-friendly environment to take those first steps.
