Jive Addiction Dance Holiday, Jim & Nicky are back.....

We've just come back from teaching for John & Wes at Jive Addiction's La Pineda dance holiday (near Barcelona).

The week was fantastic, there were over 90 dancers joined together in one hotel (fully inclusive of food and drink) with 3 sets of teachers and 3 DJs to give dance workshops, plus freestyles every night.

Jim & I have been on a dance holiday before with another company and we have to say that Jive Addiction have got it just right. The planning and attention to detail are second to none. We took a trip to Barcelona on the Wednesday which was great and Jim & I finished the night off with a fun Bump n Grind class followed by 4 hours of freestyle! We were tired, you betcha! it was worth it.

The hotel was lovely and the fact that the dance venue was in the same hotel was a real bonus, air conditioned and plenty of room.

Plus sides for Jim & I were getting to know John & Wes (plus wives Maryann and Chris), who all know how to have a good time and facilitate a dance holiday, meeting Smooth Jive Fusion teachers Mandy & Ian (from Bournemouth) who are lovely, great people and can certainly teach Argentine Tango for Jivers superbly - the best we've ever seen. Peter Phillips and Evelyne taught a fantastic dips and drops class and of course Peter played some great DJ sets, as did Ian and Wes. All in all, what a great team the holiday had and I think the dancers enjoyed themselves too :-)

We would like to thank the dancers as well, they took to our classes really well, considering Smooth Jive was a new concept to them. We got a lot of compliments and of course we're very grateful for those. We just love to teach this style of dance and we're glad that it's being well-received.

We would definitely recommend Jive Addiction's dance holidays abroad and also their weekenders, the infamous Southport (1st - 4th June) is coming up soon (not sure if it's sold out yet), but here's their details if you want to get in touch with them.
