The Highland Swing%u2028weekend of dancing for two
Imagine a lindy hop weekend set in a romantic castle in the Highlands of Scotland! Well look no further. The Highland Swing boasts small class sizes with top teachers providing 10 hours of classes per level. Teachers include Ryan Francois & Jenny Thomas (UK), Skye Humphries & Frida Segerdahl (USA / Sweden), plus Christi Guest & Paul Rankin (Scotland) and other tbc. The full weekend price of £200 includes accommodation in the castle and meals - so you can eat, sleep and dance in the beautiful Carbisdale Castle overlooking the salmon packed river Kyle. And if that isn't Scottish enough for you, there will be a themed dance on the Saturday night and an optional 'Whisky Bus' providing return travel from Edinburgh via a famous whisky distillery. Dates: 13-15 June, contact christiguest@thehighlandswing.co.uk for more information.
The prize includes accommodation and all workshops and dances.  Food and transport is not included but can be purchased separately if required. The cost of all food for the weekend (breakfast, lunch & dinner) will be £40 per person and if they wish to book a place on the bus (leaving from Edinburgh on the Friday morning)  then that will cost £25 per person return journey.
