Dave and Lou
We're based in Yorkshire and are regulars on the local dancefloors, but love to travel to the biggest events too, attending International events like Rhythm Riot (UK), Hemsby (UK), High Rockabilly (SP), Blues at Moonlight (SP), Viva Las Vegas (USA) and more!
We've entered a few Jive competitions too, reaching the finals of the Atomic UK Jive Championships and winning Wickstead Park and the Hemsby Jive Contest.Many couples who dance together regularly end up with their own style over time. For us, it's a mixture of Rock n Roll, Rockabilly, Jump Blues and Swing Jive with lots of musicology* and aerials** too.
We have a ton of fun with it and are often asked to show people how we do it, so...
We'll see what happens if we run some classes :) Photo courtesy of want2jive
* | Musicology is the interpretation of the music and song. Rather than just dancing to the beat, your style and moves adapt to the crescendos, choruses, pauses and even words of a song. |
** | Aerials are special moves like jumps, lifts and throws which can be incorporated into dance. |
