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.

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.
