    Intestingly, he was inspired John Sergeant

    but his "dance working group" will include the judges who continually slated John.

    I don't know about 'Jive And' (are they a subsidiary of Jive+?) - but there's a few MJ listings.

    I think that's one of the websites that uses information from the National Learning Directory. Basically it's up to organisations offering a course (a "learning provider" in the jargon) to register and make sure their details are up to date.

    It's a bit like the way uk-jive works, but rather wider ranging.

    More info here.
