What is Modern Jive?

Modern Jive is a captivating fusion of dance styles, blending the best of swing, rock and roll, salsa, Lindy Hop, and tango. Originating in the 1980s and inspired by American dances like the Jitterbug from the World War II era, Modern Jive has evolved into a versatile and lively social dance.

Borrowing its rhythm and timing from rock and roll while incorporating salsa’s close holds and hip styling, Modern Jive is an accessible and fun way to stay fit. Unlike acrobatic dance styles, it focuses on social connection and partner-based movements rather than lifts or high kicks.

Why Modern Jive is Perfect for Everyone

Modern Jive’s simple basic steps allow for personal expression and creativity, offering more freedom than the stricter movements of ballroom dance styles. It’s less about technical perfection and more about having fun and dancing to your own beat.

As a sociable partner dance, Modern Jive is led through arm movements, with men traditionally taking the lead. Beginners only need to master a few basic moves to feel confident on the dance floor, while more advanced dancers can personalize their style and incorporate new techniques.

Even if you don’t have a regular partner, Modern Jive is perfect for mingling. During classes, you’ll switch partners frequently, helping you learn faster, connect with the group, and meet fellow dance enthusiasts. Who knows – you might even discover your perfect dance partner on your Club Dance Modern Jive holiday!

Dance to Any Beat

One of the unique features of Modern Jive is its versatility. Without a fixed number of beats in a move, it can be danced to almost any music, from the latest chart-toppers to big band classics and everything in between. Your holiday classes will also include tips on how to keep dancing once you’re back home, so you can show off your moves at parties or enjoy a spin around your kitchen to your favorite tunes.
