Jive, swing, Lindy hop and jitterbug to the very best swingin' tunes from the past to the present (Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller through to Lavay Smith, Ray Gelato and Royal Crown Revue) from top swing DJs!
If you want to learn some steps beforehand - or you get inspired by what you see - why not come along to our weekly classes at The Firestation on a Monday night - or any of our other classes and workshops?
Friday Night Jive! takes place every 8 weeks or so - please see Dates.
