JiveX Classes

It’s Smooth! It’s Jive! and Most of all, a Fun Socialable way to learn!

Making Tracks (Beginners Smooth JiveX Class)

Making Tracks is all about teaching the basics of Smooth Slotted Modern Jive and it is so easy to dance too. If you can tap your two left feet in time with the music, then you can master it very quickly and open up a whole world of new friends and low cost entertainment.

It is about learning the basic Modern Jive moves but just as important, we will show you how the way that they are executed, with the correct footwork for the guys and the techniques of turning and spinning for the ladies, will help you to avoid derailing and the risk of injury from bumping on the dance floor. Learning these basic moves and techniques will enable you to pass seamlessly through to the “Smooth Train” Intermediate level where you will be set free to express yourself and be creative on the dance floor.


Smooth Train (Intermediate Smooth JiveX Class)

Smooth Train is the next stage on! We have taught you how to track, turn and spin, in order to keep you in the slot and now we will expand on that as we teach you the Modern Jive intermediate moves and add elements of the West Coast Swing strolling style of movement into our dancing.

We don’t use the tricky footwork of West Coast but we utilize the stroll down that track for expression, creativity and fun as you develop your dancing a stage further.

We will show you moves and how to put them together hence the “Smooth Train” but we are not a move factory! We will encourage you to freestyle and develop your own moves and learn to lead via the lightest of fingertip control, body movement and eye contact. You will also learn how to hit the breaks in the music and quickly slip into and out of blues style dancing.

Quite simply your dancing will be less taxing on the body, yet will still provide you with fitness through aerobic exercise and most importantly it will become more enjoyable, exciting and above all else, FUN!

Now all there is to do is to come along to Burton on Trent, Derby, Nottingham or Tamworth (Atherstone) and give it a try! You don't even need to bring a partner, just a pair of slippy soled comfortable non grip shoes is all you will need.
