“The best class you could join in London! The teachers are fantastic and the classes are so much fun. Whether you are 5 time world champion or never danced in your life - there are classes for everyone. Jessie has built a lovely community and would recommend anyone to join that would like to learn a few steps and meet new people!”
“Jig & a Swig is genuinely for everyone, Jessie has created the most inclusive environment I’ve ever experienced and I love getting to dance with people from so many different countries and walks of life that I never would have met otherwise.”

“Thank you so much for your coming on the show. It was a brilliant segment - your dancing, and your teaching skills, were really impressive!” - Albertine, Lorraine Producer, ITV
“Absolutely spectacular lessons! Had such a brilliant time and I can’t wait to rejoin. I am a terrible dancer so was so grateful to have clear instructions and a great pace to progress. Thanks for everything!”
“After moving to London just over a year ago, I dove into classes with Jessie and could not be happier with the entire experience—the jigging, the swigging, the amazing friends I've made, and all the fun we have as a group going to gigs and fun events together.”
“Jig and a Swig has very quickly become a weekly must. Joining this group was one of the best decisions I made. It is such a welcoming and fun group of people! The classes are supportive, easy to follow, and lots of fun. There is no pressure to perfect every jig, compete, or perform. It's totally up to each person what they want to get out of the class. It's truly a nonjudgmental environment and welcomes everyone.”
“Everyone was really friendly and we all had a good laugh. Jessie always made an effort to welcome everyone as they walked in and always made me feel like I could give everything a go without being embarrassed. Going for a pint after was great too. Would highly recommend this class to everyone!”
“I’ve Irish danced on and off most of my life, but this is without a doubt the most fun I’ve had dancing. I’ve always struggled to follow instructions in busy classes but the way Jessie breaks things down, I can pick up the steps so much easier. Everyone is so friendly and it’s such a welcoming atmosphere.”
“Whether you're looking to connect with Irish culture, find a new social circle, or just want a fun way to stay active, I can't recommend Jig and a Swig enough. It's a unique experience that'll have you dancing a jig and smiling in no time!”
“Being a part of jig and a swig completely transformed my experience of living in London - I've gained a new skill, grown in confidence, and met so many incredible like-minded people. I strongly encourage anyone who is looking to make new friends and try (or get back into!) Irish dancing to give J&S a go because Jessie has created something really beautiful with the classes she offers”
“It’s a great confidence builder, as you are in a class situation all learning together, egging each other on and the “swig” part in the pub for a drink afterwards is a great idea as you get to have a laugh with your new classmates.”
