We select teachers who deliver inspiring workshops and perform dazzling cabarets. But just as important, teachers who love their dancing and get out on the social dance floor with all of you.

Matt has been teaching since 2009 and has since made dance his career. His workshops focus on technique, musicality and creative movement — the building blocks that help dancers build real competence and confidence on the floor.

On the competition circuit, Matt is a big name: triple winner at the World Modern Jive Championships, and Grand Masters and Open title holder at numerous others. Expect that same relentless energy and distinctive style in every class.

In over 20 years dancing together, Andrew & Kim have had years of success in competition both as a couple, as founder members of the Dancing On Air aerials team, and performing in local theatre.
They have a special interest in teaching Aerials which are dance moves in modern jive that involve impressive dips and lifts. Andrew & Kim aim to share their wealth of knowledge and bring a different dimension to dancing through these exciting moves.

Jon has been DJing for modern jivers for over 30 years, making him one of the most experienced jive DJs in the country. He co-organises Rock Bottoms and gets booked the length of the UK — from the North of England to the South Coast.

On the floor, Jon likes to mix things up: current pop, smooth Latin, a bit of swing, and whatever else feels right for the room. He takes requests and his aim is simple — a full, happy dance floor all night.

A bit of history: Jon introduced blues dancing to the modern jive world (Nigel & Nina ran with it and made it what it is today), and ran the country’s first live swing event for modern jivers. There’s usually more going on in a Jon Brett set than meets the eye.

Nick is an international Modern Jive and West Coast Swing DJ based in Cornwall, who travels the length of the country to play at dance events.

His passion is simple: filling a dancefloor with happy people. How he does that depends on the room — the venue, the dancers, the mood — but you can always count on something new and unexpected being thrown in to keep things interesting. Main room, blues room, West Coast Swing — Nick knows his way around all of them.
