Jive Nation
When: Thursday, 25 December from 19:30 - Late
Genres: Dance Classes
Having a twirl with twenty different men in one evening is contrary to how it sounds; all in the best possible taste.
From city singletons to severely loved up couples Jive nation's clientèle is as varied as it gets. There is no pressure to turn up with a plus one as everyone gets a spin with everyone else. Which honestly isn't as awkward as it sounds. After the first misplaced hand everyone's in the swing of things with more experienced dancers guiding the newbies.
The moves are ability appropriate with two tiers of classes, beginners or advanced. Instruction is superb; encouraging, in plain English but not patronizing. Set moves are learnt individually, eventually culminating in a full routine that will definitely come in handy next time you want to wow that Patrick Swayze look-a-likey.
