About the Workshop:
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.
No dance experience required though some partner dancing experience is definitely an asset. Experienced dancers will have the opportunity to work on both leading and following in the workshop.
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 and Roll Swing class.
This workshop will have different material from previous Rockabilly Jive Bootcamps taught by Vicky.
What does Rockabilly Jive look like?

About the Teacher: Vicky Yeung
During her stint as a teacher, coach and competitor at PortOSwing Ecole de Danse in Quebec City, Vicky added Rockabilly Jive to her repertoire. It quickly became one of her favorite swing dances. She is excited to bring this wonderful dance to Toronto.
