What We Do

Rock Bottoms run hotel-based dance holidays, specialising in Modern Jive, Lindy Hop, Tango, West Coast Swing and Blues. Since 2002, we've built a reputation for delivering some of the highest quality dance weekends around.

All Rock Bottoms dance holidays include en-suite hotel accommodation, meals, and all your dancing, all under one roof - so no trekking miles to your chalet or driving back to your B&B.

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. Dance as much as you like, enjoy everything we have to offer throughout the weekend, and when you're not on the floor, make the most of the seaside setting and the chance to get away from it all. Most people leave already looking forward to coming back again.

Meet the Team

We're a team of three - Hev, Andy and Jon - and we've been running Rock Bottoms together since 2002, and we love what we do. You'll see plenty of us throughout the weekend as we put everything into making it special. Jon is one of the UK's most experienced DJs, in demand across the country. Andy teaches Swing Dance at Lindy festivals all over Europe. Hev is so good at entertainment that other organisations hire her for their events. Together, we bring experience across every aspect of a dance holiday.

Is Rock Bottoms for You?

If you like dancing, you'll love Rock Bottoms. Whether you're the kind who wants to dance 'til three, or the kind who wants to focus on workshops, or the kind who wants to party with friends, or the kind who wants to meet new people, or the kind who wants to enjoy the lovely location, or the kind who wants to relax – it really doesn't matter – Rock Bottoms has it all. We pride ourselves on the way new people settle in at Rock Bottoms, and we pride ourselves on the number of people who return to Rock Bottoms again and again. We attract a rich mix, from the quite normal (they don't always stay that way) to the larger than life characters who get the party going. Individuals, couples and groups all mingle together in a happy atmosphere.

What People Say About Rock Bottoms

Here's what one recent Rock Bottoms "virgin" had to say:
"My first impression when I arrived and started chatting with people was that there seemed to be very few 'virgins' like me - everyone expected to come back time after time after time. That is incredible. Not just shall we, we might, possibly, if stuff, but absolutely - this is what we do! Nothing says that you guys have got it right more than that does. And as the weekend progressed I could see why. What a social, friendly event it is. Meal times help to create that, as people get chatting with each other without feeling that they are missing out on a dance at all. The fancy dress, meal time madness, pyjamas classes and cabarets all add to it. You guys were tireless in your energy and enthusiasm, leaving me exhausted just watching you. GREAT weekend. Loved it, loved it, loved it!"
