Fancy making a mini film to show your skills. Something to look back on in years to come. We can help you with that.
To the lyrics rather than the beat.

MaxJive
Caz's intro 
Jive is the foundation of a range of genres. Salsa, Lindy-hop, Rock n’ roll you name it. The difference is the music, the speed and style of the moves.
Learn Jive and you can adapt to all kinds of other styles.
Learn one move and see how it can be used in so many ways. Take a look at the basket move here.
MaxJive blends smooth with quick. Expressive - slower to some tracks. Faster energetic when the music invites it. Dance to the beat or the piano or the guitar or the lyrics. A demo of dancing to the lyrics is above: Darkness at the edge of town.
We encourage people to do moves left-handed as well as right-handed. Useful for those with one arm perhaps. We are working on a routine for those with one arm. There are a few one-armed souls about. Learning to do the moves left handed brings back some memories of your first lessons. It helps those that feel a bit ‘leaded-out’. Those that are doing the same, same, same and want something to re-spark the vigour to dance more.
Once you have mastered left-handed moves you can try moves inverted. It is called MaxJive as the aim is to expand what you can do to the limit. Do not worry. You can spread the learning out over a few years if you want. A little at a time at your own pace.
Global
Jive is truly global. I have seen many youngsters in the far east perform Jive on TikTok. Our moves page enables anyone in the world to get inspiration for a new move to add to what they do. More moves is more variety. More variety is more fun. Add one move a week. Or one move a month. You choose.
Filming ‘all moves in dance’ has been most enjoyable. The past couple of years on this project has been a most excellent experience. I will always be thankful to Caz (and Gina, before she moved away, for her assistance in the early period).
