DANCE STYLES

More expanded history coming soon...

The Jive
The coolest couples' street dance from the '50s! One-handed Elvis-inspired wiggling with no squares in sight...

The Jitterbug
The earlier form of jive, in a closed hold. Think '40s and WWII .. Wild, bouncy, rhythmic couple dancing!

(Texas) Two-Step
Popular dance on the rockabilly scene, as seen in Austin, TX. A couples dance suited to that perfect honky-tonk shuffle, à la Ray Price! 

The Stroll
The fun dance that lets you strut your stuff in a sexy lined-up box formation. Dance to bouncy r-n-b, slower beats and rockin' garage tunes. NOT line-dancing!

The Bop
This wild solo freestyle dance was more of a man's dance from the '30s to the '50s, but it's the 2020s and everyone can bop around with this fast crazy dance, popular worldwide, after remaining far underground for most of the '60s. This is a great workout - think rockabilly aerobics! Bopping is a passion-filled mix of tap, step and jive beats fueled by your love and feeling of the beat, the beat, the BEAT, each person feeling it in their own way.

Northern Soul
1960s James Brown style fancy footwork in a dance where you don't need a partner! Motown, '50s/'60s RnB and rare soul grooves fuel gliding smooth moves. Learn this dance that became popular in the North of England, hence the name!
