Fun social dance classes

Dance Parties

Calendar

We have regular dance parties throughout the year as well as parties at our dance weekenders.

Monthly dance parties

Our monthly dance parties are immensley popular with 70 - 100 people attending from all our class nights.

There's a short mixer class at 8:00pm where we teach a couple of moves.

Tea, coffee and yummy cake/slice provided ☕ 🎂.

Weekender dance parties

These are larger than our regular parties often with visiting dancers from around New Zealand and Australia.

Check the relevant event for location and cost.

What Do I Wear?

Sometimes there may be a theme and some people like to dress up according to the theme which can be great fun and entertaining! Otherwise come along in whatever you're comfortable in.

Music

Parties have a wide range of music that gives Modern Jive it's appeal - you can dance to anything! If there's a theme then the playlist will often reflect that theme whether it's 80's, R&B, Hallowe'en, Pirates etc. We still aim to have some variety if there is a theme.
