Business bosses in east London are being urged to get their ‘swing thing’ going so they don’t make fools of themselves at the office Christmas party.

The Swing Patrol enterprise is running weekly dance sessions at two East End club venues showing the right steps to get the staff office party going with a swing.
Bethnal Green’s legendary Backyard Comedy club in Cambridge Heath Road is holding lessons every Monday, while the Juno in Shoreditch High Street has them on Sundays.
The secret is ‘themed’ parties, dressing as gangsters and molls, donning Second World War uniforms or just putting on vintage glad rags.
Swing Patrol got swinging after a successful stab at TV’s Dragon’s Den when entrepreneur Scott Culpit, 46, got a thumbs up from Duncan Bannatyne and Deborah Meaden.
