DJing
The Bee’s Knees, are jet-powered disc kittens!
Specialising in swingin’ tunes from the golden age of dance, spanning the roaring twenties to the thoroughly modern day!
With regular residenceies at The Pigalle Club, Wild Times, Volupte and Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, playing at public and private events for swing dancers and party goers.
DJ highlights include playing at Cafe Royal, the world famous Speigle tent, Cafe de Paris, The Brit Awards after party and at concerts of The Puppini Sisters and Eartha Kitt.
Dance Tuition
The Bee’s Knees teach dance routines and steps of the Charleston era. Their 'Flapper Academy' classes are energetic, fun and guarantied to leave you with a smile on your face. Charleston is no walk in the park; you’ll work up a sweat (or certainly a glow) with the 1920’s original aerobics!
With a collective experience of teaching community dance groups, including young people and senior senior citizens, The Bee's Knees adapt their classes, from fun informal taster classes for people that just want to 'have a go', to challenging Charleston and Jazz step routines for experienced dancers.
Past workshops have taken place at summer festivals:
The Electric Picnic, Glastonbury, Lattitude, Lovebox; numerous council-organised community dance events, tea dances and schools.
Regular teaching work includes beginner Lindy Hop classes at Bethnal Green Working Men's Club and Charleston/jazz steps classes for the London Swing Dance Society.
