Swing Riot is run by a committee of volunteers.
A committee of volunteers, who look after everything the community does: from our weekly classes, to our annual dance festival. The committee is chosen by the membership at each Annual General Meeting.
Interested in joining the committee next year? Chat to Jon, the committee chair, at class on a Tuesday, or get contact via the contact page.
