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.

The Jiveoholics - Sunday, 9 October 2011


Tickets are now on sale for this gig with the popular Monmouth-based 'Jiveoholics'. Back by popular demand after a sell-out gig last year, they bill themselves as Wales' hottest jump-jive and swing band. See www.jiveoholics.co.uk for sample tunes. They have a new lead singer since last year ... but their quality is undiminished! Should be a great party atmosphere, and the band name says it all really ... though there'll be plenty for all styles of swing dancing.

Tickets are just £6.00 in advance or £8.00 on the door, and I'd recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment. Contact me (Susan) on 01432 357859, email herefordjive@btinternet.com or get tickets at jive classes in Bartestree, Leominster, Bishop's Frome or Ludlow.
