Beginners and Improvers Modern Jive DVD's Available Online
We know that sometimes it's a bit impractical to learn to dance in front of your computer, sometimes there just isn't enough space. For this reason some of the moves that are available on www.danceyourselfdizzy.com are now also available on one of our new DVD's. Currently 2 DVD's are available.

These DVD's take you right from the basics. From learning how to hold your partner and how to both start at the same time through to dancing all 21 of our beginner moves and linking them together in the order of your choice. Then on the Improver DVD you will get instructions to 30 core intermediate moves. These core moves are the ones that form the basis for countless other, more advanced, moves. Learning to dance the core moves well will make learning more advance moves much quicker and easier because you will already have the basics of the move under your belt.

On each DVD you get step by step instructions to all of the moves along with hints and tips to help you avoid any pit falls or bad habits that might become a problem when you move on to more complicated moves. If you are new to Modern Jive or just moving up to intermediate classes these are the DVD's for you.
