Signing of the Peace Dance!

Let’s party! Celebrate 80 years of the signing of peace after World War Two by dancing the morning away. Learn to jive and lindy hop.

Adults bring your kids, kids bring your adults! This is fun for all the family and for all ages! Head to the Museum of Oxford for a fun filled intergenerational dance workshop. Our excellent dance instructor will aim to be as inclusive as possible to support all abilities and ages.

Learn the dances that would have filled the dance halls 80 years ago when peace was declared at the end of World War Two.

There is 1 hour long session: 11.00-12.00

Please make sure to arrive on time. We allow a 10 minute grace period for late arrivals. After this point, we cannot guarantee admission to the activity.

This workshop is suitable for ages 5-100!
