Brighton dusted off its two-tone shoes and put flowers in its hair to welcome its first Lindy Hop Festival. Held at the University of Sussex at the end of April, the weekend was blessed with sunshine and the magic of springtime.

Organised by Sussex Swing, run by Lizzie Abrahams, in association with Simon Selmon’s London Swing Dance Society (LSDS), the festival attracted 150 people, from Brighton, London and even from abroad.

Now in its fourth edition, this year’s LHAIF welcomed over 100 people from Argentina and neighbouring countries – and I had the good fortune to go to this festival for the second consecutive year.
