About
Modern Jive was developed in the United Kingdom during the 1980’s at three London clubs: Ceroc, Le Roc, and Cosmopolitan Jive. The style was based on a type of Jive that evolved in France after World War 2 when American dances such as the jitterbug were popular due to the presence of the American miliary.
Modern Jive has no fancy footwork which makes it easier to learn than most other dance styles so if you have two left feet…then its not a problem 😊
A little about me
Jennifer Pearce
I have been dancing since I was six years old. I have danced ballet, ballroom, Latin and Modern Jive. I have been teaching Modern Jive for 16 years. Eleven of those were in Wellington and the last five years here in Tasman. I absolutely love sharing my passion of dance to anyone who wants to learn.
