Strictly Jive in Sparkford

Although there are many enjoyable ways to get fit, I would say there are very few that are as much fun and as sociable as doing modern jive. Strictly Jive do modern jive moves at the hall next to the Sparkford Inn, High Street, Sparkford, BA22 7JH every Wenesday night, starting at 7.30pm. The hall has a wonderful dance floor, is light, easily accessible, and has a large car park and a bar.

What is modern jive? Sometimes known as Mo'jive, LeRoc, or Ceroc, it is a fusion of ballroom, jive and Latin dance styles. It's a partner dance, but you don't need to bring your own. It's easy to learn and really good fun to do. It’s also great to watch. You can dance to any tune as long as it has a beat, so the music choices are endless.

The benefits of dancing are many. It gets you away from the television to meet new people and have a fun night out. It's an easy and fun way of exercising, as well as learning a new skill. It also exercises the brain and focuses on visual, auditory, and tactile skills without you even noticing.

We welcome absolute beginners every week, with our beginner class starting around 7.30pm, followed by music in order to practice. We will also do an improver class later in the evening for anyone who wants to join in.

Jive classes are the friendliest classes around, with people walking around with a big smile on their face.
