Class format
- Lead and Follow Partner Dancing: Everyone gets up on the dance floor at the same time. The instructor will break down each move.
- Beginner-Friendly: After 6 weeks, you’ll know several basic moves to confidently join the dance floor.
- Continuous Learning: Practice basic moves and advance to intermediate level. Learn more complex steps at your own pace.
- You are welcome to stay fixed with your partner if you choose to.
Music
- We play an eclectic selection of music, including pop, soft rock, country, r & b, and across the decades. If it has a regular beat, it will suit modern jive dancing.
What to wear
- Comfortable, casual clothes.
- Please, no stilettos or black rubber soles to protect the floor.
- To begin with, comfy shoes with a low heel.
- You may want to buy dance shoes after your first few classes. We recommend leather or suede sole to allow you to turn comfortably.
