Our very popular SWING JIVE Beginners courses
Our Beginners Swing Jive Courses are perfect for complete novices as well as dancers coming from other styles such as Modern Jive or Rock ’n’ Roll Jive. Whether you’re brand new to jiving or looking to build solid foundations, you’ll feel right at home.

Three Courses, Three Terms
We offer three Beginners courses across the year:
• Beginners A – Winter term starting in January
• Beginners B – Spring term starting in April
• Beginners C – Autumn term starting in September
All three courses cover the essential beginner jive moves, but each term also introduces fresh steps to keep your learning exciting and progressive.
No Partner? No Problem
We warmly welcome students who come on their own. You’ll be partnered with one of our wonderful Dance Buddies — experienced volunteers who give their time to support new dancers. Many students say it feels like having their own personal teacher guiding them through the moves.
Your Path to Confident Social Dancing
We recommend completing at least one Beginners course plus our Beginners EXTRA course. Together, these will give you the confidence and ability to enjoy social dancing comfortably. From there, you may choose to join one of our Intermediate Courses to continue your journey.
Dance, Socialise, and Learn Faster
We actively encourage you to attend the many social dances organised by Jive ’n’ Boogie and other local promoters. You’ll find a wide selection of event flyers at all our classes — just ask any instructor or crew member. While we teach you the moves in class, many students find they progress even faster by getting out on the dance floor at social events whenever they can.
Come learn, laugh, and dance with us — it’s the best way to start your Swing Jive adventure.
