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, 19 June is our next dance

Our May dance was a great success, with lots of people enjoying a great music selection, and lots of different dance styles were on display. Come along on 19th June and enjoy another great 'record hop' night. Don't worry if you're on your own or out of practice, it's a great place to have fun.

Sunday, 15 May is our next dance night

It'd be great to see you for our next dance night on Sunday. This is a 'record hop' with great tunes from 7.30-11.00 pm for just £4.00 per person ... what a bargain! I (Susan) will be doing the music this time, following good feedback from the small stints I did on a couple of previous nights ... so give me feedback and tell me what you want and I'll try and provide. Hope to see you there!
