Le Bop, also known as Modern Jive, has origins that can be traced back to France in the 50’s. It was very popular in the nightclubs of Europe. Over time the style has developed to encompass an eclectic mix of hot moves from Jive, Lambada, Dirty Dancing and many other styles of dance. This collage of dance styles against a backdrop of retro and today’s dance music can be heard on commercial radio stations and at nightclubs.
You do not need to bring a partner with you as everyone gets the opportunity to dance with everyone in the class. As a social night, it is a great way to meet some fantastic people.
