We're feeling all fuzzily festive after looking through these photos from last Sunday's fabulous FCS Christmas Dance with DixieMix Jazz Band! There were so many highlights that it's hard to know where to start with the mentions, but straight off the bat, thank you to DixieMix Jazzband for two great sets of dancing tunes - we're sure this won't be the last time you see this band on a Fine City Swing stage. An honorable mention must also go to Bombshell Rheanne and her indefatigable kazoo (not a sentence I ever thought I'd write) for her guest appearance and to a Fine City favourite, Andy Garner, for his DJ efforts. Sparkly hats off to the Jenny Thomas Jammers Norwich for putting on another fantastic show and to all the Tinsel Tag competitors for joining in with a little seasonal silliness. On an equally competitive but more serious note, congratulations to everyone who took part in Fine City Swing's inaugural Mix N Match - we know this was the first time that many of you had put yourselves in a competition situation before and it was wonderful to see you rise to the challenge. So huge applause to everyone who took part, to our five final couple and to our winners, Sophia and Ayman, who'll be heading off to Cambridge Lindy Exchange as official prize winners!
Lastly but most importantly, thank you to you all for your support, not just at this event but over the course of the past year. We couldn't and wouldn't run Fine City Swing without you and you make our swing community the vibrant, fun and welcoming scene that it is. We're proud to put these events on for you and we can't wait to dance with you all again in 2026.
With love, thanks and just a little twinkling of tinsel,
Ellen, Rob, Daisy, Laura, Mark, Claire, Linda, Robert, Jack, Helen and Hannah,
Your Fine City Swing committee xx
