Beginners’ Jive Class for Let’s Dance

Tutor: Luba Mushtuk, Strictly professional dancer

Strictly professional dancer, Luba Mushtuk, returns to the Virtual Village Hall to celebrate Let’s Dance (#LetsDance), the UK-wide dance campaign founded by Angela Rippon OBE for people to get fit, connect and have fun.

In this fun Jive class for complete beginners, Luba introduces some simple basic Jive steps, then puts the steps together into a simple routine. The class includes a warmup and cooldown, with an opportunity to ask Luba about her own love of dance. There will be seated and adapted movements for people that find standing challenging.
