Classes

St Mary's Church Hall (Fridays)

Brighton Jive run 'Jive' classes for all levels at St Mary's on Fridays. Map.

The price per class is about £6 but you must book a course of classes in advance.

They don't state exactly what sort of 'Jive' it is they teach, except to say it is '1940s Jive'. To my knowledge, that would be the Lindyhop then. However they never use the term Lindyhop, so it's not clear.

Swing

Compared to swing in London or even salsa in Brighton there is very little swing dancing in the city, so the various swing dances have been combined onto this one page.
