Discover the Joy of Modern Jive with DanceXtra in Birmingham

DanceXtra invites you to experience the vibrant world of Modern Jive in Birmingham.

Step into our Birmingham dance studio and explore the rhythm and joy of Modern Jive with us.

Modern Jive emerged as a modern interpretation of traditional dance forms, simplifying footwork and emphasising lead and follow partner dynamics.

Its simplicity and versatility make it accessible to dancers of all ages and abilities.
