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 :) -
