Funky Smoooth Jive is a simple dance taught exclusively at the UK Smoooth Club. It’s incredibly stylish and very easy to learn, in fact, you’ll have the confidence to impress your friends after just a little tuition!

Funky Smoooth Jive is, as the name suggests, a smoother form of modern jive created by Lazy Dave Plummer who began his dance journey with modern jive and loved the social aspect of it. His journey then took him into lindy-hop, west coast swing and argentine tango – all beautiful dance styles but he felt they lacked the fun element of modern jive.

So believing there could be another way he began evolving a smoother modern jive by introducing some of the simple techniques he’d learnt on his dance journey. His vision:
A social modern jive style that has enough technique to make the dance safe and stylish but keeps the fun, social side of the dance.
The result is Funky Smoooth Jive. It’s taken 5 years to develop for you to enjoy today! If you love fun social dancing, you’ll love learning at UK Smoooth!

Experienced modern jive dancers will love it too – adding a few simple smooth techniques will help to advance your dancing and take it to places you never thought possible! Advanced dancers are smooth dancers!
