ABOUT this Years Hullzapoppin'
Hullzapoppin' 2025 is held in the two most spacious and splendid venues in the vicinity, the Guildhall and Hull City Hall!!
We kick off our Hullzapoppin' weekender at 5pm on Friday 23rd May 2025. This a fun, relaxed weekender with workshops and a choice of tasters each day from 10am to 6pm and three social dances at the fabulous City Hall and Guildhalls in Hull City Centre.
FRIDAY night sees the welcome dance in the Guildhall on Lowgate HU1 1AA
SATURDAY and SUNDAY we will be dancing at the amazing Hull City Hall in Victoria Square, HU1 3RQ
Both venues are within walking distance of Hull's Interlink Train and Bus stations, and within close proximity of a plethora of quality, cheap accommodation.
Workshops and tasters will be in both venues, you will get a detailed breakdown from reception when you arrive. (it's just a six and a half minute stroll between the two venues... we timed it).
We have international teachers for FIVE Lindy Hop streams, Improver, Intermediate, Intermediate/Advanced, Advanced, Advanced Plus plus Solo Jazz. We also have our Aerials stream and there will be several tasters during the weekend. (For guidance on which level/stream suits you see our BOOKING section.)
There are licensed bars at the evening dances and amazing sprung dance floors for you to fully enjoy swinging out to our guest DJs and Live Bands
Sunday evening sees our fabulous and legendary tea dance with cake, cake, and even yet more cake... (and maybe gin based cocktails again? They were quite nice last year)...!
Finally, there will be several taster classes to try something new.
