✨We’d love some additional pairs of hands ✨

We’d love some extra volunteers to help us out behind the scenes! You can sign up for an hour or, two or more depending on your capacity.

Particularly:
- setup (preparing the welcome desk, the water station, venue decoration)
- teardown (cleaning up after ourselves before leaving the venues)

And if you’re able to give even more help:
- replenishing snacks and refreshments (like our water jugs and tea dance cakes)
- help with the Parade/Outdoor Dancing (first aiders, we’re looking at you too)

We may even throw in a free ELX tshirt (terms and conditions apply 😉) and, back by popular demand, you might even get a chance to wear a hi viz jacket.

We’re on the lookout for local dancers who can host our visiting dancers for ELX 🏡

We have some lovely dancers on our waitlist waiting to be matched with a host ☺️

This helps make the event more accessible and affordable so thank you in advance to those who are able to. It’s also a great opportunity to connect with visiting dancers!

Dear dancing community,

We are writing another chapter into Edinburgh Lindy Exchange’s long history in 2026 because we love this event and the community at its heart. We love showcasing our local scene, our beautiful city, and dancing with visitors from near and far.

We’re asking the community that has brought ELX to life for over a decade to do so once more.

The UK’s rising cost of living has made it more challenging to run events that bring joy.

Our ticket sales are lower, and our venues and bands are more expensive. However, through the strength of our community, our dance has survived many periods like this in the past.

If you’re planning to come, please buy your ticket as soon as you can.

Early ticket sales make a huge difference.

They help us understand likely attendance, commit to venues and musicians, and make informed decisions about the weekend ahead.

If you’re not in a position to buy a ticket right now, the best way you can help is by spreading the word. Share the event with your local scene, tell your friends, and encourage anyone who has been thinking about coming to take a look.

ELX runs thanks to your enthusiasm, generosity and support. We’ve welcomed dancers from around the world, forged friendships that have lasted years, and created countless memories on dance floors across Edinburgh.

With your help, we will continue that tradition this September.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for being part of the ELX community.

With lindy love,
The ELX Team 💌

🙏 Help a follow out! 🙏

We’re getting dangerously close to needing to turn the waitlist on for follows.

If you lead and are thinking about getting an ELX ticket, pretty please can you get one soon so we can keep the numbers balanced.
