Modern Jive & Munich's Xmas feel - 26-28 Nov 2010


Jivin Munich's Winter Warmer will take place over the last weekend of Novermber, 2010.
This weekend also marks the opening of Bavaria's Christmas Market season...Advent!!!


What to expect...

The workshops

Our teachers from around the jivin' globe will be offering a great programme of modern jive workshops for all levels of dancer.

We run parallel workshops each morning - with basic introductions for new modern jivers as well as plenty of workshops for more advanced dancers: leans, drops, style, musicality, latin and tango jive, 6-count jive, blues and an introduction to West Coast Swing.

This year we're introducing a tripple-whammy Cabaret-Choreo workshop: you can choose to spend the first three hours learning cool moves, essential technique and latin style - choreographed by Thierry and Christelle from Simply Leroc. The cabaret will be performed at our "Saturday Night Special" party.

The workshops will all be held in the Dance Terminal 1 (DT1), a bright, purpose-built complex in the heart of the city, a stone's throw from the Hauptbahnhof (main train station). Here's a map.

Here's the programme as it currently stands - pretty much in its final form! See The Team page for more info on teachers already confirmed. All teaching will be in English.
