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.

New Year happenings!

What a great night last week with The Heartbeats ... fantastic crowd, dancing and atmosphere. Thanks to everyone who turned up, and hopefully will continue to come in 2012, when some changes are afoot!
Dances will continue on Sundays at The Richmond Club in Hereford. Again we have a mix of record hops and bands (more bands this year - some of our favourites, and some new ones). In addition we are going to be running 4 dances in Leominster on Friday nights, to see how they work out. All these will be band nights and will be at The Royal British Legion Clubhouse, which is 30% bigger than The Richmond Club, with a fantastic dance floor, bar and lots of parking. Hopefully there'll be lots of support and we can fill the place! Details of venues and gigs are on the menu at the top of screen ... and a new, clearer website is on it's way - subject to my computer not breaking down again!!
Have a great new year and I look forward to seeing you in 2012.
