A Whole Weekend, All Under One Roof

Since 2002 we've been putting on hotel-based dance weekends - Modern Jive, Lindy Hop, Tango and Blues - and we still love doing it as much as we did back then.

Book with us and everything's sorted: your en-suite room, breakfast and a three-course evening meal, and dancing from morning until the small hours. No trekking to a chalet, no driving back to a B&B at 2am - just head upstairs when you're ready.

We keep numbers down to around 300 dancers a weekend, which means more workshops per person than you'll find anywhere else. There's so much on offer that you'll have plenty to choose from, without ever feeling like you're fighting for space the way you can at bigger events.

In the evenings the best DJs around keep the floor full until the early hours, and if you need a break there's free tea, coffee and cake waiting at midnight to keep you going. It's the little touches that make a Rock Bottoms weekend feel different.

Whether you're a Rock Bottoms regular or a first timer (Rock Bottoms virgin), you'll feel at home the minute you walk through our door, you ease your way in with a welcome tea dance on Friday afternoon, and from there it's a weekend of dancing in a friendly, worry-free atmosphere, surrounded by fun, friendly people. Enjoy everything without ever leaving, or head out and explore the seaside resort whenever you fancy a change of scene.

Who's Running the Show

There are three of us - Hev, Andy and Jon - and we've been doing this together since 2002. You'll see plenty of us over the weekend, because we're the ones making sure it all runs smoothly. Jon's one of the UK's most experienced DJs, Andy's been teaching dance for over 30 years, Hev's the queen of entertainment and silliness - she makes sure there's never a dull moment. Between the three of us, we've got every part of a dance weekend covered.

Is It For You?

If you like dancing, you'll love Rock Bottoms. Some people come to dance until three in the morning, some come for the variety of workshops, some come to make new friends, some come for the seaside and the chance to switch off for a weekend - it doesn't matter which, we've got you covered. New faces settle in fast, and plenty of people come back year after year. We get a proper mix - the sensible types (they don't always stay that way past midnight) and the larger-than-life characters who get the party started. Everyone mingles - couples, groups, people who've come on their own - and before long nobody's a stranger.
