I began learning to dance with Surrey Jive in March 2017. I started with the Beginner’s course and then progressed to Intermediate’s (though I needed two rounds to get the hang of that one!). The courses are well structured, and go at a good pace for you to really nail down the moves. The team are very friendly, patient and happy to help you, and the monthly social dances are super helpful for getting in some practice outside the classroom. By the end of summer, I was hooked! And I was amazed when I was asked to join the Jive Squadron just a year later! Now, I’m even helping out at classes. I cannot tell you how much joy this has brought me. Not only do I have a new skill and passion, but I’ve also met the loveliest people and have a whole new group of friends. Rather unexpectedly, I’m also more confident in myself – nothing is more terrifying than performing in front of a crowd, so if I can do that I can do anything! Thanks to all the team at Surrey Jive for giving me such a wonderful gift. I’ll be eternally thankful I made that booking 🙂
