Quite possibly the fastest growing partner dance in the UK. Easy to learn, and lots of moves for those natural dancers.It's great for both beginners and those who like a challenge. If you want a friendly place to meet new people, great music from today's charts back to the 1940's then french Jive is for you. Come and try the best dance night around. You'll be back for more...

Do I Have to be a good dancer?

No. As our nights are not only about learning to dance but having fun! That's why we have a licensed bar, a large dance floor and a great dance crew to help you. French Jive is easy to learn as we keep the footwork to a minimum. The beginners class is just right for the new dancers. We want you to come and enjoy yourself and make sure you come back for more ...

Can I turn up on my own?

Yes, of course you can as it's a very friendly night. We swap partners frequently during the class so you get to dance with people who know what they are doing. If you want to learn with a partner then that's fine as well, just bring them along. Your instructor is on stage twice a night to take you through the beginners moves and the later through an intermediate class. Don't worry, as beginners often join in from their first night.

What else do we do?

Friday/Saturday party nights. A party night at your favourite dance hall. More time to enjoy yourself with your friends and also the chance to dress up. Some of them are themed nights with guest instructors and raffles. You'll find that Jivers travel for miles to join in on a party night, so come along for a full evening of fun and freestyle dancing.
