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.

Wow - what a fantastic night last night!

Thanks to the band 'Steady Edd & The Boogiemen', the DJ Steve 'Chalky' White and all the fantastic dancers who turned up at the Richmond Club last night. A near capacity crowd put on a great display of dancing, and the band clearly relished the chance to play for people who obviously wanted to dance. They turned out 2 tight, high energy sets of boogie-woogie, jump jive and rock & roll which really got everyone twirling and spinning around the floor. Hopefully we'll have a few pictures soon....and we'll definitely be having the band back!
