The basics of Rock 'N' Roll jive are very simple, you can pick them up in a couple of evenings provided you have a sense of rhythm and can "feel the music - no-one can teach you that!

If you wish instruction please make yourself known to jerry or Trish at the beginning of the evening. We can show you the basic move and spin very quickly then it is down to practice - when simple basics become automatic then we can move you on to other steps if you wish.

Do not think you have to learn lots of moves at the beginning - getting the basics right is much more important. you can be a good jiver with a simple range of steps but the right "feel" for the music. Lots of moves but no "feel" will never get you there.

Think of it a bit like learning to drive - in the beginning you only thought about steering and changing gear - it was only when this became automatic that you really began to learn.

Anyone with a sense of rhythm will master basic jive in 3-4 weeks. if you wish to build on that we will be happy to keep showing you additional steps.

We also have a video on sale which takes you through the basics plus a good range of moves if you wish to practice at home.
