Our next dance evening will include a Jive Taster Lesson with Matt & Sarah from Coolmoves Dance. If you've thought about doing jive, but not been sure it's for you, this is the perfect opportunity to give it a go. You can come to the lesson from 7.15-8.00 pm and then stay on for the dance and try out your moves and be inspired by watching the more experienced dancers. Don't worry if you've no partner, there'll be plenty of people to dance with. There'll be information about classes around Herefordshire/South Shropshire and elsewhere available, and a few teachers around, so you can meet and chat to them and see whether it's something you fancy pursuing.
Our regular 'record hop' dance will start at 8.00 pm and run until 11.00 pm, with a wide range of classic and modern tunes as usual. If you're an experienced jiver, just come along to the dance if you want, or join in the lesson to help the novices.
The whole evening is just £4.00 on the door and you can come for just part of it or all of it. It promises to be a lot of fun, and hopefully our usual friendly atmosphere will encourage lots of people to come and give it a try.

A couple of inspirational video clips for you ...
The first is of Ginger Rogers (who I'm embarrassed to say I thought was long dead) dancing the salsa (I know, this is a jive site, but it's still dancing!). She's 92 year's old and is dancing with her 29 year old great grandson. The first few minutes are just a warm-up, so persevere and watch the whole thing. I'll be happy just to be able to walk if I get to 92, never mind what she's doing!
The 2nd is a clip of a group of London jivers who are trying to get to do something at the Olympics next year. See http://www.planetjive.freeuk.com/news9.html for a jiving video!
