Vibejive

I was recently introduced to this dance club by a friend and am delighted to say that it great fun. It is an evening of dancing and fun, starts at 7.30pm and goes on till 10.30pm., it is suitable for absolute beginners and the more experienced, within a few weeks you are able to get up and dance the evening away without being embarrassed or gauche. It is ceroc style dancing which is modern jive. Look at their website. It is the type of place a woman or man can come to on their own and not feel out of place as the group are very friendly and helpful. Three weeks out of the month everyone who attends go through lessons for the beginner moves these classes are normally taught by Dawn or Shirley who are long term members of the club (normally three steps) which combine to make a creditable appearance of dancing. Everyone go through a step as instructed then the ladies move one partner on, so you get a chance to dance with both beginners and the more experienced dancers, although if you go as a couple you can request at the beginning of the evening that you stay together as a couple. The lesson lasts about three quarters of an hour then, you get a chance to go through the moves you have learned. Later in the evening as a beginner you go downstairs to refress the steps you have learned while upstairs the more experienced dancers go through improver moves (more variation on the theme) in the main hall. The last hour maybe less you dance your little heart out. The first class is free to see if you like it and thereafter it is £6.00 for the evening. The etiquette of the evening is lady or gentleman may request a dance and unless there is a good reason it is a courtesy not to refuse.
On the first week of the month it is termed a free style which means an evening of dancing. However if it is required they will do a beginner lesson mid way through the evening downstairs.
