Certificate

Running Time
88 mins

It’s the latest retro fad in the world of hoofing (who knew?): dressing up in Depression era glad rags to chuck one another about on the dance floor. This feelgood doc explores a bit of swing dance history, which is traced back to its origins in Harlem, but mainly follows acrobatic modern-day practitioners.

This screening is presented by Swing Dance Bristol, whose experts will be showing off some moves in the bar afterwards.
