TEACHERS
DETAILS
Rockabilly Jive Bootcamp
Come learn the basics of this dynamic dance in one afternoon. It is fast paced, upbeat and typically danced to Rockabilly or 50s Rock ‘n’ Roll style music.
Note that Rockabilly Jive is not the same as American Jive, East Coast Swing, Ballroom Jive or what is taught in the Swing Toronto Rock ‘n Roll Swing class.
This workshop will have different material from previous Rockabilly Jive Bootcamps taught by Vicky.
Vicky Yeung added Rockabilly Jive to her repertoire, during her stint as a teacher, coach and competitor at PortOSwing Ecole de Danse in Quebec City. It quickly became one of her favorite swing dances. She is excited to bring this wonderful dance to Toronto!
DISCOUNT for returning students: dancers who have taken one of Vicky’s Rockabilly Jive workshops before get the dance included in the workshop only price!
For all the details about the evening dance party and drop in lesson, see the listing under DANCES.
