What Is Modern Jive ?

Modern Jive is the term used for what was originally called "French Jive" or Le Roc. Originally the dance style was very much Rock n Roll orientated, however through the years it has gained influence from other dance styles, like Salsa, and west Coast swing which make it sexier and smoother.

Is It only Danced To Rock n Roll Music ?

It can be danced to almost any kind of music. At most nights you will hear a mixture of current and past chart music, Swing, Latin, and even the odd rock n roll track. It's a dance that suits all age groups, and is a great, fun way to meet new friends & socialise, ....it also helps you to keep fit !!

What should You Wear ?

Dress code is normally casual, but make sure you wear something you feel comfortable in. Remember that modern jive is an aerobic activity, so you will get quite hot. A lot of people bring a change of top (or more than one if they plan on dancing a lot) and a towel. Also try to wear sensible footwear. Rubber soled shoes or trainers will give you problems spinning so are not a good idea.

Do You need To Bring a Partner ?

No you don't. The classes are normally rotated, so during the class you will dance with a new partner every few minutes. This gives you the experience of dancing with lot's of different people, and getting to know new friends.
