Jive Craft is a brand new Modern-Jive dance company which holds weekly Monday night classes and freestyle and regular Saturday night dances at Hickstead, West Sussex. 

Jive Craft has one of the best venues in the South-East with plenty of room for dancing, great music and a fun and friendly atmosphere. Having only been open a few months it is fast gaining a reputation for attracting an excellent standard of dancers and is well worth a visit for anyone who is looking for a change from the norm! 

There is a licensed bar, lounge area, second dance floor, seperate under cover outdoor smoking area and disabled access, plus super views of the showground during the lighter part of the evening.  Weekly mini workshops start on Mondays at (around 8.15pm after a quick cup of tea or coffee or something a bit stronger!!) with Beginner Lessons suitable for all. During this time the lounge area is used for a Styling class for both men and women - something which is proving to be highly popular.

More seasoned dancers can attend the Advanced/Intermediate mini-workshop with new and interesting moves and some advanced moves to help you expand your repertoire, the mini-workshops are tailored to the dancers who attend. After lessons the Freestyle resumes, this is where you can practice what you have learnt or simply 'show what you know'!.

Steve Howard and Julie Bass founded Jive Craft to provide an alternative independant venue in the South East and have been personally involved in the refurbishment of the dance floor to ensure that it is great for modern-jive freestyles and lessons. Why not come along to our weekly classes and try it for yourself?

Workshops will be held throughout the year.

Remember -

You'll have more fun and lots of laughter, when you become a real JiveCrafter!
