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.

Sunday, 7 August - next dance night

Unlike many local clubs, we are putting on a dance in August. So if you fancy a dance, come along on Sunday, 7 August between 7.30-11.00 pm and dance to best tunes around. It's a record hop night with a great mix of tunes, hopefully with something to suit all styles of swing/jive dancing. Come along and have a great time!

Still tickets left for 'The Sultanas' on 17 July

We do still have tickets available, as lots of our regulars seem to be on holiday (how dare they!). We've still got a good crowd coming, but we do have availability for anyone wanting to come along. See my previous post for full details of the band and evening. We're looking forward to another great dance night!
