Rough Programme

Splurge 1 will include a mix of dance styles as listed in the class guide. As an extra treat for this Splurge, we have some lessons from Harold and Christine, specialists in lindy hop and boogie woogie. Splurge 2 will have a similar mix of classes to the previous splurge. However, we will also have Dan and Lisa teaching solo hip hop and partnered hip hop jive.

The music for the evening events will be played by the very popular ‘Jive Party’ DJs. They play a fantastic mix of old and new and are always ready for your requests. At around 1am each night, we plan to slow it down with an hour of blues.

Lots of jivers have other enviable talents (last year brought us a vast array including juggling, puppet shows, hip hop dancing, beer balancing etc.). We hope to persuade you to share your talents with us in the cabarets.
