A bit of history about "Modern Jive":
The style of dance "Modern Jive" has been in Australia since 1991, originally brought to Australia (Brisbane - Qld) by David Gotley who taught the 1st official Modern Jive Class on the 19th February 1991 in Brisbane Queensland for Le Roc Dance Society.
Nuroc Dance Company has been teaching Modern Jive (AKA Ceroc) since January 2001.
Nuroc Dance Company led the way in New South Wales with introducing step footwork (formerly only done in Intermediate classes) into regular Beginner Classes in 2005.
What to expect at a Nuroc Modern Jive Dance Class:
The night starts at 7.15pm with registration. At 7.30pm, we start a Beginners class. This class is where you will learn a routine of fun and easy beginner moves. This class normally goes for 1 hour.
The beginner class is then followed by 30 minutes of "freestyle" social dancing where you can get up and practice what you've learnt.
At 9pm, students who are ready for a challenge, and who have mastered their basic footwork and basic moves, are welcomed to join in the Intermediate class. This is followed by more "freestyle" social dancing where again you can practice your dance moves!
In total a Nuroc Dance night lasts for over 3 hours. (7.15pm until 10.30pm)
There are 14 beginner routines in total so you will come back around to the routine you started on once you have completed 14 weeks of beginner classes. At this time you are welcome to revise the beginner classes plus do the intermediate class.
On your first night of classes you will be given a "Beginner Card". Each week when you come to classes we ask that you present this card for a stamp to be placed on it. This card will entitle you to your 4th and 8th lesson for FREE!
Remember you don't need a partner as you can rotate around with other students. If you do have a partner and wish to stay dancing with that person, throughout the class, you are more than welcome to do so.
A Nuroc class is fun so smile and don't worry if you can't do the moves straight away - it will happen in time. Remember it's easier to dance if you relax, have fun and laugh when you make a mistake.
All that's left to do now is turn up at 7.15pm at any one of our venues and be prepared to learn a very easy style of dance and have lots of fun meeting new friends!
