""Swing Pocket"" and ""Step Out Studios"" brings wonderful swing dancing and tap dancing performances respectively. What's more! Come and enjoy this festive dance floor—whether you want to sway to the rhythm of the music or dance alone, of course, you are most encouraged to invite new and old acquaintances to dance together.

Why party?
The 1930s and 1940s were known as the golden age of jazz. In the dance halls of Harlem, New York, swing dancing and listening to jazz were the most popular pastimes at that time. After experiencing the First World War and the Great Depression, people yearn for impromptu dancing and feel the freedom and happiness in it. In the past few years, we have experienced the depression and anxiety of the epidemic—happiness is both an echo and a call. This Christmas, through the swinging jazz party, we will bring vitality and energy to Hong Kong people from head to toes!

Swing dancing is a social dance, you can dance alone but it is more fun to dance with more people. If you want to master the basic dance skills of pas de deux before the party, you can participate in the first experience workshop of swing dance, even beginners, you can throw yourself into a happy party.
