WHAT IS MODERN JIVE?
Modern jive is a combination of many well-known
dance styles such as
Jive, Salsa, Rock-n-Roll and Ballroom to name but a
few.
Unlike most dance styles that have grown up around a
certain type of
music in a certain era, Modern Jive lends itself
to almost any musical style from 40s swing, through the decades
up to today's
latest pop chart music.
Modern jive is not a dance just of the moment, it's
been around for
over 20 years and its increasing popularity has
made it the fastest
growing partner dance around today.
The reason for this is that it is easy to learn (no
fancy footwork)
along with its fantastic visual impact.
Within a few short weeks, total beginners to Modern
Jive can look as
if they've been dancing for years.
Not only this, Modern Jive is undoubtedly the most
social of all dance
styles. The way the classes are structured, dancers
are constantly
changing partners throughout the lessons, and then
after each song
during the freestyle period, the ladies are
encouraged to ask
the men to dance as well as the men asking the
ladies.
For this reason, you don't need to bring a partner,
there is no
special type of clothing required, and you don't
need to book - just
turn up
and bring along a sense of humour & a towel (you will
get hot). You
will also be entertained whilst dancing yourself
fit.
In short, Modern Jive has it all.
It’s EASY to learn,
It's great FUN,
It's extremely SOCIAL,
It's a great way to KEEP FIT.
