Workshop Content

A 2 hour workshop for dancers to explore the various fun ways we can dance Modern Jive such as,

  • Music Mashup (dancing to short clips of music in succession)
  • Partner Blind (taking it in turn to wear a blindfold)
  • Steals (three people but only two dancing at any one time)
  • Switch (changing the role multiple times mid-dance)
  • Quick rotation (rotating around a number of partners to the same song)
  • Dancing in public spaces

These different activities are also categories in many Modern Jive dance competitions, they're not only fun but also highlight aspects of technique that benefit our regular social dancing.

This workshop is not about being judged but about improving one's own enjoyment and dance skills.

Attendees should be able to:

  • link moves together without stopping
  • dance most of the standard beginner moves

The workshop will be presented by Deb and Matt.
