  • Illumination Dance + Jive4All two room freestyle dates for 2020

    Illumination Dance + Jive4All two room freestyle dates for 2020

    We’re delighted to continue our Illumination Dance + Jive4All two room freestyle collaboration with DanceXcess this year with regular dates in Cambridge lined up throughout 2020!

    Illumination plus Jive4All features a main expressive-style room run by DanceXcess plus an added up-tempo Modern Jive room run by the friendly and inclusive Jive4All team, ideal for those who love to dance to both music styles and perfect for those new to expressive dancing who want to give it a try in a friendly and welcoming environment.

    Jive4All’s collaboration with local independent dance club DanceXcess started in 2019, adding an up-tempo room to DanceXcess’s regular expressive freestyle, ‘Illumination’ at Storey’s Field Centre, Cambridge. Our first joint events were very popular, with high volumes of dancers in both rooms throughout the evening. We received very positive feedback from dancers who attended our first event:

    “Was a great night, well worth the drive, looking forward to next time”

    “Great first time for me but well worth the 140 mile round trip, can’t wait to do it again”

    “2 rooms worked great and hope it can be done again “

    See below for details and the list of dates for 2020. Note some are Fridays and some are Saturdays.

    More about Illumination Dance:

    Illumination Dance is a new concept for the Cambridge and St Albans, Bedworth, Harlow and Leicester areas where we aim to play music which teases your inner dancer to come out. You may be looking for something a little more chilled, lyrical or expressive, enabling you to dance more musically to what you hear. We welcome dancers that want to explore musical expression, and enjoy music that is always interesting and occasionally challenging. You’ll find dancers of all levels of experience and ability, with the common aim that they enjoy dancing to good music.

    More about Jive4All:

    Cambridge not-for-profit Modern Jive club Jive4All explicitly promotes an inclusive culture, and we encourage our members to make everyone feel welcome. As such the culture is to accept any dance as long as you feel comfortable. Equally, we believe that a dancer’s gender is not relevant to their choice of dance role: core to our ethos is that you choose whether you learn to lead, follow, or both!

    We hope to see you there!

    Much dance love,

    The Jive4All committee

    *Venue Change* Illumination Dance + Jive4All two room freestyle for December

    This December Jive4All and DanceXcess invite you to join us for a Winter Wonderland two room freestyle, our final Illumination Dance + Jive4All freestyle of 2019. It will take place on Friday 20th December.

    Dress to impress, dress festive, find a cheesy Christmas costume or simply get dressed! Whatever you decide to wear come dance and enjoy saving some memories with our winter photo booth.

    Important notice – venue change:

    Due to circumstances beyond our or their control, Storey’s Field Centre is unable to accommodate us on this occasion so we will be holding this month’s Illumination Dance + Jive4All freestyle at a different venue in the same area. Our venue for Friday 20th December will be:

    University of Cambridge Primary School,

    Eddington Avenue,

    Cambridge CB3 0QZ .

    Our temporary venue is one minute walk from our usual venue (Storey’s Field Centre) on the same road. Please see map below for location. We will still have two rooms and will start at 8pm and finish at midnight as planned. This change of venue is a one-off occurrence and we expect all future events to be held in Storey’s Field Centre as usual.

    Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
