Here’s a few of our most frequently asked questions…
How much does it cost?
We charge £6 for the whole night. This gives you access to beginner and intermediate classes on the night. There is plenty of time to practice your moves, as we play music before, during and after the classes. You are not obliged to stay for the whole night, just do as much as you like.
Is Modern Jive easy to learn?
Yes, It’s one of the easiest styles of dancing. You won’t need to go to many classes before you can easily move around with confidence on the dance floor.
What is Jive and what will it do for me?
Jive is a mixture of dances with a Latin feel. It’s fun and a very sociable hobby. It will help get you fit and keep you fit. It helps with your co-ordination and is another way of keeping your brain active, it’s also a great way to lose weight.
Is it as enjoyable as everyone says?
Jive is a very addictive and fun way of spending your spare time. You can dance to almost any music as long as it has a beat. The people that go to our classes and dances are very sociable people, and gather together to have a fun time. It will give you a whole new social scene and a new group of friends.
Do I need a partner?
You don’t have to bring anyone with you, just turn up. There are lots of people who come alone, so there are lots of people to dance with. How can I ask anyone to dance, “I’m only a beginner”. Well don’t worry, we are all at different levels of learning and Jivers love dancing with new people. We love to share our favourite hobby with everybody. Don’t forget to ask Roy for a dance.
What should I wear ?
Wear light weight clothes as it usually gets nice and warm as the evening hots up. Shoes should be something that you can move easily in, and maybe spin. Nothing that will damage the dance floor please.
What If I've never danced?
We are all afraid we have two left feet, if you have, we might be able to find someone with two right ones. We all have to start somewhere and you shouldn’t worry. We teach a beginner class as well as an intermediate classe. No one will be watching you make mistakes, we are all too busy making our own!
Should I book?
Yes, you can book and pay up front using this website however, there are no need to book for classes. Turn up anytime and you will be made most welcome! You don’t have to be a member and you are not obliged to come every week.
Will I like the music?
It’s all subjective as you know, but we have a whole range of music to satisfy all tastes. We create a new playlist every week.
Still not sure?
Come along and see. It’s not a life time commitment and we pride ourselves on being friendly and very sociable. All of the elements are here, good music, friendly people, good exercise and an affordable fun night out.
