Jive

So you might well ask, is doing the Jive difficult? And the answer is absolutely NOT! Jive is a form of dance that anyone who can WALK can learn to do - even if you have two left feet! It has been evolving and increasing in popularity and can be danced at a fast, medium or slow beat, so you can dance it to almost any music you enjoy.

It's a partner dance with a lead and follow style with no complicated footwork so you can pick up a few basic moves in a short time and use it wherever you may go socially. By the end of your first class, you will discover you've just had a lot of fun, met some very friendly people, and feel quite invigorated.

You do not need to bring a partner! The instructors encourage everyone to rotate partners as the moves are being taught so you soon get to know the other dancers who will be happy to help you along the way.

Wear whatever clothes you feel comfortable in but you may get quite hot so a cool short sleeved top is recommended. Dance shoes are not essential but if you have good fitting shoes with a smooth sole, it will help you to turn and spin on the dance floor. On the other hand running shoes, hiking boots, wellingtons, boat shoes, deck shoes, sandals and flip-flops are not recommended!
