Be Awesome and Join the Smackdown Showcase
No competition, no rules just a showcase of how awesome you all are! Grab your mates and come up with a routine, do the Shim Sham to Mambo No.5, or wear matching leggings and swing out for whole song- whatever it is, we're on your team and we'll cheer dead loud for you!
Tell me about the Stretch Goals?
The Smackdown is the longest running swing dance event in the North West. Now, Scousers love a bargain (so much so, we invented Home and Bargain!) so to keep the Smackdown going and keep it affordable in light of rising city accommodation costs and cost of living pressures, we've chosen to have stretch goals instead of charging a higher upfront ticket price. This means that the more people buying tickets, the more cool stuff we can do and the better value the weekend is for everyone. Here's the goals:
Stretch Goal 1 (50+ Tickets sold) we'll add an extra workshop on Saturday
Stretch Goal 2 (65+ tickets sold) we'll put on a slap up lunch for everyone on Saturday- we love a boss butty!
Stretch Goal 3 (80+ tickets sold) we'll have a live swing band on Saturday night
Do us a favour, book early, tell all your mates, share the event in your Whatsapps, groups, discords and whatever else you're on these days. We can't wait to dance with yer!
