Let's go! Modern Jive Dance Lessons

2023 is here and danceVibe is ready to roll!

danceVibe have been proudly teaching Novacastrians to dance since 2006! The last few years have been disruptive and somewhat challenging for most people, including for dance companies. We are looking forward to a smooth dance year ahead, filled with quality tuition, awesome music, lots of fun, laughs and social connection, encapsulated within a new, consistent and sustainable dance calendar.

We love the difference it makes to people's lives and we are passionate about teaching this awesome past-time to as many people as we can. 

Come and join us soon? We have an amazing dance community and room for more happy faces.

Much more than dance lessons; a great night out!

See you on the floor!

Lot's of dance fun in 2023, including;

Newcastle Wednesday Modern Jive- weekly

Newcastle Friday West Coast Swing- twice a month

Newcastle Modern Jive is weekly, on Wednesdays at Kahibah Sports Club.

Please note you must pre-register rather than just turning up. We have limited numbers due to floor size and need to manage the lead / follow ratio.

** BEFORE REGISTERING please read the Terms of Entry/Disclaimer HERE as the rego page will ask if you have read it, thanks! ***

Please note any follower (ladies) registrations received after 12 noon on Saturday 21st will automatically go on wait list. We need more leaders to balance the lead / follower ratio before we can accept rego. By all means register as leaders are notoriously last minute!
