Jive & Blues Weekend Overview

We are excited to announce our next Modern Jive weekend at the lively Derwent Hotel in Torquay, part of the TLH Leisure Resort. Join us for a weekend of dancing, workshops, fun, and socialising in Torquay by the sea.

Experience a weekend filled with high-quality workshops and social dancing designed especially for Modern Jive dancers. Alongside Modern Jive, we also offer workshops in Blues, West Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, Tango and Kizomba.

In the evenings you can dance the night away with Modern Jive in the main ballroom and a dedicated Blues Room running late into the night. Saturday night's highlight will be the spectacular Teachers' Cabaret that you won't want to miss.

The Fancy Dress Theme for Saturday Night is MISTER MEN AND LITTLE MISS

More About the Weekend

Your weekend package includes three nights' en-suite accommodation at the hotel, with a £20 deposit securing your place. Breakfast and three-course evening meals are included, along with a wide choice of workshops running throughout Saturday and Sunday.

Each evening brings great social dancing and a lively party atmosphere, including a spectacular cabaret on Saturday night. You'll also have access to many of the hotel's leisure facilities and be well looked after by both the hotel staff and the Rock Bottoms team.
