Brand New Term For Absolute Beginners

Has started - Now is the time to join in!

Video taster of our Beginners Class

Our new term of Jive & Swing dancing only started again on the 24th April and we loosely follow the school terms. Feasably you can join in any week but it gets harder to catch up the longer we are into the term. If you are brand new to dancing we would recommend that you start as soon as possible. Each week we teach the basic 6 count step, then revise what we did the previous week then we teach a new move. This means that if you come each week it is one new move. If you miss a week or two it doesn't matter as we always do revision. You don't need to bring a partner, but if you can, that's great too. We are not exclusive, everyone is welcome; all ages, shapes & sizes - you don't need to be young and fit, this dancing is for everyone.

We teach proper American Jive and swing dance which is based on the original jive dance called Lindy Hop. We do not teach any 'Modern Jive' type stuff, although we do teach to all types of music. There is no particular dress code but comfy casual clothes are better for lessons and then dressing up for dances.

The cost of the beginners class is only £4 which includes a 45 minute after class practice session if you would like to stay on to practice the steps you have learned.

Come and give it a go!
