WHAT TO EXPECT...
Whilst this class is run by the university of Hertfordshire, it has been set up to run in the standard JiveSwing format.
When you arrive, you will be greeted by our friendly staff who will guide you through 'What's What'. The class kicks off with a fun beginners class which lasts for approx 60mins.
It's a real fun class. Accelerate with Workshops.
We will focus primarily on Lindy Hop. However from time to time you will be introduced to a variety of other styles including 1920s Charleston, Balboa and Authentic Jazz..

PRACTICE / SOCIAL DANCE TIME:
STARTS AT : 6:00pm - 7:00pm
This is a great opportunity to practice the moves learnt in class with lots of other dancers. We encourage all students to stay on and dance with other students. We find that people who do stay till the end seem to progress quicker and grasp new concepts and moves a lot more easier.
The music varies from the 1930s to some of today's classics neo tracks. You'll hear a good selection of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Chick Webb, Glenn Miller, Ella Fitzgerald , Slim & Slam, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, etc.
NB: At present there is no official practice / social dancing at Hatfield, but you will be able to go to Boogie Shack , Harlem Nights or any other JiveSwing class on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday to social dance. |
