5 hours of non-stop freestyle from 8pm - 1am on the biggest dance floor in the South!

The Huge chocolate fountain will be returning to tickle your taste buds!

There will also be a large range of dance shoes on sale from 'Spotlight' who will have a stall there on the night.

Tickets on sale at the early bird rate of £17 until 31st May, then £19 from 1st June and on the door if any left.

Tickets available from here, or from any of the DYD classes or freestyles.

Dress Code: As it's one of our special events, ideally we'd like you to dress to impress, like you may have done before at one of our special events. We're sure there'll be a fair few men in black tie & ladies in elegant dresses. BUT as it is a Summer Ball being held at the end of June - dress for the weather - Summer dresses & smart short sleeved shirts are definately fine too!

Tickets also available directly from Southampton Guildhall box office. However when buying tickets from the box office over the phone or on-line there is an extra £2.25 booking fee.

Winchester Big Jubilee Tuesday on the 5th June!

Winchester Big Jubilee Tuesday 5th June!

On the Jubilee Bank Holiday Tuesday 5th June, it's our next Big Tuesday at Winchester Guildhall, when both the main halls will be open and you can choose whether you want to do the class or just freestyle!

In the Bapsy (Main) hall, we'll be running the night with the normal class night format starting at 8pm with the beginners class, followed by the intermediate class at 9.05pm. The 2nd hall will open at 8.45 and have non stop freestyle through till the close at 11pm!

The main hall freestyle sessions will be mainstream music. Whilst in the 2nd hall the music will be mainstream while the intermediate class is on in the main hall, but once the intermediate class is over the 2nd hall will play just swing & latin music!

So if you've not been able to try out this format before, we hope you can join us for this special Tuesday night at Winchester on the Jubilee & have a fab night where you can choose to do either a class, or just freestyle the night away!

Modern Jive DVDsWhy not fast track your learning and learn Modern Jive moves at home.

Our DVDs take you right from the basics of Modern Jive and onwards. Learning to dance Modern Jive at home can compliment your regular class nights or teach you from scratch.

If you already attend a class night our DVDs can remind you of moves that you might have already covered while adding to the repertoire of moves at your disposal. What's the point of spending time and money going to a class night if you then come home and forget everything you have learnt.

If you don't already attend a class night and want to learn from the very basics our Beginners DVD will cover that too.

Each DVD teaches moves in the same way as you would learn in a normal class, breaking them down step by step and then running through them up to speed.
