For the latest news, social events, information and interesting videos, join one or more of our very active Facebook groups.
Facebook groups are a great way to keep in touch with what's going on. All our groups are Closed - see below for information about group types.
Fevah Facebook Page
You don't have to be a member of Facebook to view Pages so feel free to take a look at ours:
Class Facebook Groups
Fevah Modern Jive, Chch
This our main group for all venues and events in Christchurch where we post updates, dance related stories and videos from around the web, venue changes, class information.
MM Fevah (Mondays)
For videos from the Monday intermediate classes and Monday related information.
My Tuesday Happy (Tuesdays)
For videos from the Tuesday intermediate classes and Tuesday related information.
OMJ Chch (Wednesdays)
For videos from the Wednesday intermediate classes and content relevant for dancers in the 18 - 35 age range (approximately). OMJ dancers are sometimes looking for like-minded people to flat with so we're happy for you to advertise flat space or if you're looking for somewhere to stay.
Tips and Guidelines
Please
- Feel free to contribute with dance related posts, comments, suggestions etc.
- Post the original link for videos (usually YouTube), stories, blogs etc rather than links to click bait.
- Ask questions that others might also find useful (otherwise you can just message us in private).
- Be nice
- if you haven't anything good to say then don't say anything at all!
Avoid
- Revealing any more personal information than is necessary. E.g. don't list your phone number, address, date of birth etc.
- Adding friends or others to the group - we just won't add them, they need to apply in person.
- Advertising for jobs, vacancies, work (use your own wall / status).
- Sharing Link bait / Click bait - use the original resource that is found on the click bait page - we hate Click bait - bleurrghh.
- Creating private events for the group.
Group Types
Below is a summary of Group Types, for more information go to the Facebook website. For Closed and Secret groups we set it so that only the group Admins can add people to the group - i.e. we vet everyone who wants to join and don't just add lots of people willy-nilly to get lots of members which would put you and your privacy at risk.
Matt says "Avoid Public groups!! (Unless you're really confident about FB's privacy settings)"

There are plenty of groups and pages on Facebook where you can keep in touch with what's going on elsewhere in the country or abroad.
If you're planning on visiting another location that has Modern Jive classes then contact the locals via FB: maybe get a lift, recommendations on somewhere to stay or simply to say you'll be at a class or party.
