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.

Jiveoholics dance night a great success




Thanks to everyone who turned up for the our first live band night with the fantastic Jiveoholics. It was a great night, and the feedback we've had has been great .... fantastic atmosphere, venue, band and DJ music. Definitely a worth going to. And the place was almost to packed to capacity, so we managed to make a small profit ... which is a bonus, and we'll put that towards the next live band!

A photographer friend of Rob's came and took some fabulous pictures during the first part of the evening, see the samples above .... the full lot very soon (when I've worked out how to do it!) ... so you can see if you can spot yourself! If anyone wants high resolution versions emailing to them, email me.

Sorry not to have done this sooner ... not been very well for a couple of weeks ... but hopefully back on track now! Obviously done too much dancing!
