Position:Home>Dancing> Oh my God, I'd love to learn how to dance! Can anyone help me?


Question:I love music, and singing and dancing...I mean, I do it for fun because it is not really my path in life. But I can only do it in the bathroom or in my room, I would feel so uncomfortable and out of control of my body if I had to perform in front of other people! I'm tall as well, and when I dance it feels like my limbs are all over the places, it's kind of embarrassing. I want to take dancing classes! But where to go in London? I am a student too, so…cheap classes! The music I like is rock’n’roll! Cheers!

You are talking about jive. I do not know what the prices are like in London but in Plymouth jive lessons are about 4 hours long and cost between £3.50 and £4.50 for the evening. The lesson consists of about an hour learning 4 beginner moves, about an hour "Freestyle" (no lesson just dancing) about an hour intermediate lesson and another hour freestyle. You do not need to take a partner with you.

There are lots of dance classes in London so you need to find the closest to you. You are looking for "Modern Jive", "Leroc" or "Ceroc"

Here are some links to get you started but there are more if none of these appeal
