CLASSES CLOSED from 16 March until further notice
We have thought long and hard about the best course of action for our dance classes and community and realised that the most responsible action would be to cancel our classes and events for the time being.
We'll be back!
Be part of the biggest social partner dance scene in Christchurch. Ideal for dancing at bars, clubs, parties, weddings and so on.
- Want to increase your well-being and have fun doing it?
- Spending too much time on social media?
- Not getting enough exercise?
- Want to learn a fundamental social skill?
Then come and see what other people just like you are benefitting from with Fevah social partner dancing.
- No partner needed (we rotate in the classes)
- Two left feet welcome! (this is where we all start from)
- Classes around Christchurch
Nearly everyone who starts with us has NEVER danced before. Modern Jive is one of the least intimidating partner dance styles to learn first. You'll be amazed what you can accomplish in just one lesson.
We have classes 4 nights a week around Christchurch. Each night has its own feel so we suggest you try them all to see which one suits you best.
- Wide range of ages: adults from 16 upwards
- Come on your own or with a friend
- Start any time
Class nights tend to have 40 - 120 people all mixing together and having a great time.
We take the cool bits from other dance styles (e.g. salsa, rock 'n' roll, jive, disco, swing) to create a style that is easier to learn and more adaptable for different situations.
Intermediate Dance Classes
For more experienced dancers we have intermediate classes which held on the same night as the beginner classes.
The class starts at 8:30pm and runs for 45 minutes and is split into two parts:
- 30 minute group class covering moves, technique, style and musicality
- 15 minute coaching session with the teacher and demo for those who want to go into greater depth
Social Events and Weekenders
Every month we have two social dance events that attract dancers from all the class venues. Parties often have 100 - 180 awesome people just like you! Our events are a great way to meet people and form new friendships.
Every year we have a Christmas party and most years we also have a popular New Years Eve party - a great way to see in the New Year!
Christchurch Modern Jive Championships
Our Champs is one of the most popular Modern Jive competitions in Australasia attacting over 200 competitors of all abilities.
OMJ Winter Weekender
A great weekend with lots of variety for everyone: workshops, socials, dancing and something Winter related on the Sunday.
Either for the bride and groom or for entire wedding party and their guests, we have considerable experience in being able to handle large groups of people and getting them organised and dancing in a short space of time.
Deb has taught over 500 wedding couples over the last ten years and is frequently recommended on bridal social media groups.
