FAQ What is Modern Jive? Modern Jive is an informal partner dance, danced to a four-time beat and to a wide range of musical styles. It’s not the same as Jive taught in ballroom classes! It’s not the high-energy wartime Jive with lots of lifts and throws that you see in old films! It IS easy and it’s fun. What sort of music is played? If you come to a Dance Night you will find a wide range! Styles include pop from all decades (the majority of the music) plus swing, disco, rock-and-roll and latin. Think Madonna to Sinatra and everything in between! We choose the tracks very carefully; you’ll be itching to get on the floor and DANCE! Be honest with me, how hard is it really? Modern Jive is, without a doubt, the easiest dance style. There is very little footwork to learn and when it is well taught everyone (and we mean everyone) can learn it. I’m a beginner, I’m keen, what do I do next? You can choose from weekly classes or a learn-in-a-day workshop. Can I come on my own? Definitely, many people do. What do I wear? Anything from jeans and t-shirt to specialist dance-wear! But you will need smooth-soled shoes (especially the ladies) so you can spin – trainers won’t work!. Where else will I be able to use this new skill? Anywhere that’s playing four-time (not waltz) music – discos, weddings, the queue at the Post Office, etc. What does it cost? Weekday drop-in classes are typically £6-8. classes Weekend evening dances (we call them Freestyles) £8-9. Our Learn-in-a-day workshops are £45 per person. learn_in_a_day Workshops to speed your learning (4 hours) £25. workshops I’m interested but not sure . . .
