Dance Parties

Our dance parties are heaps of fun and a great way to spend an evening with 80 - 120 people turning up during the course of the night.

  • Meet and dance with dancers from our class nights
  • Come on your own, with a partner or with friends
  • Everybody welcome

Parties are usually held each month, sometimes we'll have two in the same month each with a slightly different focus so check the calendar for details.

We begin with a quick ice-breaker class and then it's freestyle for the rest of the evening. If you arrive within 10 minutes of the start time you can earn early arrival rewards to go towards free classes 🐤

Tea, coffee and yummy cake/slice provided ☕ 🎂

Dance Parties

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

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.

Otherwise parties will have a wide range of music that gives Modern Jive it's appeal - you can dance to anything!

Tea Dances

Tea Dances are held every month or so on a Sunday evening between 6 and 8pm where we play a more chilled out Sunday afternoonish selection of music.

Tea Dances
  • We provide tea, coffee and some snacks, non-dairy milk also available ☕ 🎂
  • Bring a small plate to share - not compulsory but greatly appreciated
  • Everybody welcome - come on your own, with a partner or with friends

Tea dances have a great vibe with 50 - 80 people from our class nights around Christchurch. Come and dance, chat and mingle.

Workshops & Master Classes

Workshop

Workshops are a great way to improve your dancing in a short space of time and help you master the basics as well as challenge you with more advanced material.

The best dancers attend workshops!

Master class

Master classes are like mini-workshops to help you focus on key skill areas that will make significant improvements in your dancing.

No need to book but please aim to arrive in good time so we can start promptly.

Regular & Future Workshops
Extended Freestyles

Similar to a normal class night except there is extra dancing instead of the intermediate class.

For Flavoured Freestyle nights we'll have a theme such as:

  • Decades e.g. 60's, 70's, 80's
  • EDM - Electronic Dance Music
  • Jazz & Swing
  • Latin etc.

Competitions and weekenders are special events that we run every year or every other year.
