Hereford Jive & Swing was founded in December 2009 by a group of local dancers (not teachers) frustrated at the lack of local dances. During 2010 we organised a series of dances in Hereford, mainly 'record hops' but some bands also. In January 2011 Susan took over the solo running and organisation of the group and, after a year of several sell-out band nights alongside regular 'record hops', 2012 sees an expanded programme (see below). The Group is non-profitmaking with any proceeds going to cover investment in equipment and music, and to subsidise an increasing programme of live bands. The more support the dances get, the more we can organise - so come along and have some fun! And please give feedback!

Dancers of all styles are welcome, as are non-dancing partners who want to listen and watch. If you're a beginner or rusty, the dances are a great place to gain confidence and practise moves - especially the 'record hops' which are more relaxed than 'band nights'. If you have no partner, don't worry - we're a friendly lot and there are plenty of 'singles', so you won't be left out.

The Jiveoholics playing for us on 18 April

It's time to get your tickets for what should be a fantastic evening with the wonderful Monmouth-based jive band 'The Jiveoholics'. As their own publicity says, they're '1 bus, 6 nutters, 5 instruments and a couple of chickens', and they do a great gig - the best of jump jive and r&b, and definitely all very danceable music. If you've not seen them, it's worth giving them a try, and if you don't dance you can just come and enjoy the music.


Support will be provided by our fabulous DJ 'Chalky' White, and the evening will start at 7.30 pm, with the band onstage at 8.00 pm. Kick-out time is 11.00 pm. Venue, as usual is the Richmond Club, details to the left.


Tickets are just £6.00 in advance and £7.50 on the door. Contact any of the numbers or the email at the top of the screen to get tickets or for info.

We look forward to seeing you there .....
