“I'm new to this – what is Modern Jive?”

 

It’s about an infatuation.

 

When you’ve got it ‘bad’ it’s about managing everything in your life so you can be on the dance floor as much as possible.

 

As a novice, it’s about learning a new language, a new way of moving your body and gaining a whole new group of like-minded dance-obsessed friends, male and female.

 

Modern Jive is a generic term for a blend of dance moves adopted from latin, jive, and ballroom with a few ‘Dirty Dancing’ moves thrown in for good measure. It has some uncomplicated footwork (useful for the guys!) some very strange dance moves (ever had a Wurlitzer on the floor?) and plenty of lifts, dips, and drops to keep everything sexy and interesting.

 

The great thing is you can dance modern jive to chart, club or 40’s swing music. The variety of tracks adds to the appeal, and there really is something for everyone’s taste. You’ll soon get a favourite music style, or a song which will always make you need to be on the dance floor, fast.
