Teachers and DJs

At our workshops, we make sure to bring in teachers who not only inspire you with their amazing teaching skills but also love dancing just as much as you do. They're not afraid to hit the social dance floor with all of you and share their passion for dancing. So come join us and let's have some fun together! Our DJs are just the same - they love a full dance floor and will keep it that way until the early hours.

Rob is one of the loveliest and most sought-after teachers on the UK Blues scene, with a fantastic, connected style.

He's brilliant at helping you find the feeling, the musicality and the connection with your partner that make Blues dancing so special.

Expect friendly, accessible workshops that lift your dancing, whatever your level.

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.

Myra's been here before and we were really pleased she said yes when we asked her back. She has a genuine gift for reading a room and building an atmosphere - the kind of DJ who makes the blues room feel like somewhere you don’t want to leave.

Her sets are soulful, expressive, and deeply musical. She pulls tracks that suit the dancing rather than just ticking boxes, and the floor tends to fill up and stay full. If you love blues dancing, you’re going to love this.

John is a blues dancer himself, which means he knows exactly what works on the floor. He’s probably best known for his role at Rhapsody, the well-regarded blues event near Southampton, and that pedigree speaks for itself.

His sets move between lyrical, atmospheric tracks and something more dynamic and modern - a range that keeps the floor engaged all night. The blues room is going to be in very good hands.
