Modern Jive: Weekly classes
Thursdays, Waddesdon Hall
Beginners 7.45 - 8.30pm
Intermediates 8.30 - 9.15pm
Freestyle for all 9.15pm - 10.30pm
Learn to dance Modern Jive
It's great fun, easy to learn, exhilarating, addictive and you don't need to bring a partner. It can be danced to any modern music and is a great way to get fit!
As a partner dance, it draws on many other forms such as the traditional ballroom steps, post-war jive, modern Argentine tango and salsa. The big difference is that there is less foot-work to worry about and the learning time is much, much quicker.
We will have you dancing on your first evening!
Do I need to bring a partner?
No you don't! However, it is always fun to learn to dance with someone you can practice with or with friends.
Lessons take place in Waddesdon Hall, High Street, Waddesdon, HP18 0JE
