The Blue Mermaid Dance

The Blue Mermaid Dance Please join us for a very special evening aboard a very special ship! The Blue Mermaid is a replica of a famous Thames Barge of the same name built in 1930 but lost to a mine in World War Two. She was constructed between 2015 and 2019 and belongs to the charity Sea Change Sailing Trust which provides action-centred learning and seamanship training for young people and vulnerable adults. The Blue Mermaid is visiting Sandwich for a week or so in August and as part of the festivities we will be organising a one-off swing dance on Tuesday 18th! 7pm-9.30pm Music: 1930s, 40s and early 50’s. A great mix of big band swing, boogie woogie, jump jive, early rhythm’n’blues, gypsy jazz, western swing, hillbilly, latin and calypso. Dress code: Nautical and nice! Glamorous beachwear, hot Hawaiian, sailor chic, black tie and ball gown, dress to impress.
