The Shed Speakeasy.

Tucked away on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, within the grounds of a haunt known for its fine food and experience, there is a well known little music venue aptly named, The Shed.

It’s going to be a night of cocktails, music and dancing and certainly one that will leave an impression.

So, grab a ticket, don those braces and boas and join us for a night of 1920s splendour.

See you there!

This gaggle of Gatsby's danced up a storm for a very special birthday gal and we were joined by the equally fabulous @mrdarrencharles . What a team and what a night!
We even had time for a cheeky game of chess...

Bring on the next adventure on the island!

2026 has been off to a flying start, kicking off with @swingit_band 's UK tour and a cheeky trip to Norway for a private soirée. We truly couldn't ask for a better way to spend our January.

Stay tuned for a behind the scenes snippet of the fun and frolics from what was a fun filled few weeks.... It really was the berries.

In the meantime, here's a fabulous in the moment snap of the one and only Lexie. ✨🥰✨

The inspiration from Fred Astaire that keeps us on track and this pic of our gal Lena is no exception.

Oh....And it's this Gatsby Gal's birthday too! 🎂

🎬 Hooray for Hollywood! 🎬

Now awards season is well underway, we couldn't help but share our little tribute to the magic of the silver screen. A time where the stars of Hollywood created much needed joy and escapism, for those lucky enough to go to a movie theatre.
Just S'wonderful. 🥰

Hip, hip, hooray! It's UK Mother's Day!

Sending all the love out there to the mums who have helped us along our way. We certainly wouldn't be dancing for our dinner if it wasn't for you dropping us off at dance class, putting gel in our hair ( and pinning it soooo tight) for our ballet exams, prepping the dinner and making sure we got our homework done despite all the extra curricular activities. Most importantly, thank you for encouraging us to do what we wanted to do.

Lastly, a special shout out to all the mums to be, all the mums shining down on us from the sky and all the beautiful women who may find today more difficult than others.

The one, the only, Cyd Charisse.

When comparing working with Astaire and Kelly, Cyd perfectly responded with....

"It's like comparing apples and oranges; they're both delicious."

And if they're the fruit, Cyd is the luxurious chocolate drizzled all over them.
A perfectionist with lines that linger in your mind for days and a commitment to her craft like no other. Ahhhh.....we could watch Cyd dancing all day.

What a woman.

#internationalwomensday - well we made it a week.

With International Women's Day over the weekend, we thought we'd continue celebrating the women who have inspired us. ✨

Shining a light on one of our fav's, Audrey Hepburn, we couldn't resist sharing this classic image of this incredible woman and we may just line up a couple of her most fabulous films this weekend. Dreamy!

And just for fun....

Anyone know what movie this quote is from? 🎬

"It's useful being top banana in the shock department."

Also, we'd love to hear your favourite Audrey quotes! Pop them in the comments below.

Happy International Women's day!

And what better way to celebrate than by shining a light on the Baker of @brooksandbaker - Josephine!

“I shall dance all my life....
I would like to die, breathless, spent, at the end of a dance”

This quote truly sits with us and inspires us every day and she looks over our desk as we chip away. A true legend and inspiration on and off stage, Brooks and Baker would not exist without her.

Whatever you have planned today, imagine you have a banana skirt and shimmy until your heart is content. 🍌
