Jive, sometimes described as Rock ‘n’ Roll, was super-cool in the age of Elvis, it had a huge revival later in the 20th century and just keeps going strong because it’s such fun. We start you with 6-beat single-time basics before adding heaps of fun variations to keep your dancing fresh.
Most of the music in this class is from the 1950s or in the style of that era.
Our Jive classes are also a great route into the other dance styles that we teach.
Raise your social dancing for more fun.
Partner dances generally have a "Leader" and a "Follower". We typically have more applications for the Follower role and so we seek a reasonable balance in each class. Some class members learn both roles. NOTE It is an advantage for the Leader to be at least as tall as the Follower.
Come with or without a partner.
COUPLES can chose if they want to remain together in the class or spend some time practicing with the other dancers.
