Well, 2010 got off to a bumper start!!!

Our bottoms were well and truly rocked with late night Mariachi Blues going through to 5.00 a.m. and beyond!! Just don’t mention the pyjama class!!!

And the rest of January is looking great as we have Jive Plus’ “Thank Friday It’s Freestyle” event on this Friday Jan 22. Aimed at intermediate and above dancers, the class will be conceptual as opposed to just straight moves. After the class, we will be playing Mariachi Lite mixing with Morris doing his Passion set… so LOTS of expressive music to enjoy…

See here for all the details of Thank Friday It’s Freestyle!

Then the first weekend in February, we are back in Scotland again for our bi-monthly tea dance and workshop in Rosyth. This workshop is entitled “Momentous Moves” and CJ & Pauline “Cheeks” Roddy will be focusing on nice moves which will help express “moments” in the music.

There’s nothing worse than knowing a really nice moment is coming up in the music, getting all prepared then hearing it go “woosh” as it passes you and your partner!! Well, this workshop is going to tool you up with lots of moves and variations to ensure that both follows and leads can pick the right move for the moment, then milk every single drop of musicality and style…

Once again there is an early bird special if you book before the 1st of Feb

Pauline has an extensive background in dance starting with tap and ballet as a child, followed by Modern Jive, Ballroom, Argentine Tango and most recently West Coast Swing. Since starting Modern Jive 6 years ago she has been in numerous cabaret performances in Scotland and competed around the country. In addition to cabarets she has won and placed in a number of competitions so brings a wealth of knowledge that you won’t want to miss out on in this workshop.
