Have you been along to Edinburgh's newest dance venue, the Jitterbug Club, yet??

This Wednesday (29th Sept.) we will be teaching a basic jitterbug class, and also the famous "Charleston Stroll". Thanks to everyone who has been coming along so far, we have had a really good turn-out each week, and and the feedback has been very positive.

The Jitterbug Club is Wednesday nights from 8.30-10.30pm at the Kirk O'Field Hall, 140 The Pleasance, Edinburgh. Classes are taught by Brady & Lindsay.

Will see you there tonight Mr. Smurf!!!

Hope to see others there for some Jitterbuggin'. The dance style is fast and floaty and originated as a variation of the jive partner style from 50’s America. It's a toned-down version of swing dance that suits boogie woogie, rock'n'roll, big band and swing music.

Once again a really good night. Thanks Lindsay.

Now I know where all the ceroc'ers who can do footwork hang out. Hope it's contagious

Hi Folks,

don't think so, he steers clear of fori (?plural if forum?)
but yes, he is rather smooth

this wed. we'll be teaching some more 6-beat basic moves for the 1st class, brady has some cool stuff for this one.
in 2nd class, some variations on the 'rock step' for the more daring 'jitterbugger' ...ooo-er missus.

Well Mr. Demon, we might just get the guys doing a bit more moving about tonight with a couple simpler variations in the first class. And as Lindsay mentioned, some footwork variations in the 2nd class for the 'daring' jitterbugger! These sort of variations are what will make your dancing look more advanced and flashy as they add flavour to your basic patterns which you know well, rather than trying to do complicated twisted up moves poorly. These concepts can also be adapted to other dance styles, so if you want to add some style to your dancing (jive, swing, etc) to look like an advanced dancer, make your way to The Jitterbug Club on a Wednesday night.
