Beginners

If you haven't been to a Modern Jive class before, whether it be Pulse or one of the other many Jive nights, below are a few handy hints for you.

The Aim

To have a fun and enjoyable nights dancing, while learning to Modern Jive.

The lesson

A beginners lesson will last for 30 minutes, showing you 3 or 4 of the basic moves. It will take most people just 4 to 6 lessons to master the beginners moves and then you1ll be ready to move on up to the intermediate classes......it's as quick and easy as that to learn.

Partners

You don't need one, but if you have one that's great, it really doesn't matter either way. Modern Jive is very friendly and mixing with new people is easy, so it's also a great way to meet and make new friends.

Hygiene

Modern Jive is an aerobic exercise, so deodorant is an absolute must, and a spare shirt to change into as the night goes on is also a great idea. You get a lot more dances if you smell sweet and feel fresh !!!

Dress Code

Casual but loose is best. Footwear is the most important, sensible and smooth bottomed is the key...so no trainers as they're a nightmare to dance in.
