Approximate Schedule.
6.45 - 7.15 Beginners, Refresher and coaching.
Aimed at Absolute Beginners, those that have danced before but are wanting a refresher, and people who have already done a Beginners Course* with us and want to work on their basic and core techniques before the Improvers/Intermediates Class.
Please try and let us know if you'll be attending this part of the evening so we can plan in advance. You don't need to pay anything extra to stay for the main Class and dancing afterwards.
Personal coaching may also be available during this time. Contact Us for details.
* Beginners Courses include our 6 Week Jive Introductions and Beginners Boot Camp events.
7.15 - 7.30 Chat and dance.
Say hello, have a chat/socialise, stock up on drinks, and have a warm up dance.
7.30 - 8.30 Improvers and Intermediates Class
Start with a warm up and then learn some moves and techniques rolled into a routine. The Class includes a mix of demonstration, instruction and coaching from the Want2jive team, finishing with a recap on the Class.
8.30 Social dancing
Dim the lights (slightly) and turn up the volume as we go live with a mixture of genres and speeds to suit all abilities.
It's a weekly record hop!

If you already know 1950s Jive and can consistently Lead or Follow medium speed music then join us for the Improvers/Intermediates class. The key element will be building your repertoire of moves as well as introducing variations of the moves you already know that will allow you to dance to faster and slower songs effectively. That in turn will lead into techniques to cover the styling for different music genres.
On some weeks we'll also look at different ways of starting and ending your routine to fit with the song you're dancing to as we introduce live choreography.
Unlike our Courses which run progressive training over a set number of weeks, each Improvers/Intermediate Class is self contained and doesn't rely on you having been on the previous weeks.
Classes may contain a specific theme like Choreography or Finishing. Where possible, we'll announce any of these special activities for an evening in advance.Please Note
Once you've been to one of our Classes or Courses, you'll also get access to a selection of online training videos :) -
