On Friday 19th July we will be holding our next Ball at Winchester Guildhall, our Summer Ball, with 3 Dance Floors & Huge Chocolate Fountain!

Dance Floor 1 - Bapsy (Main) Hall - playing the non-stop floor-filling music you come to expect from any Dizzy freestyle.

Dance Floor 2 - King Charles Hall - playing non-stop Swing and Latin music with a dash of Tango.

Dance Floor 3 - Courtyard Hall (Downstairs) - DJ Dene playing a fantastic alternative mix of music.

Also the ever popular huge chocolate fountain will definitely be making a return to tickle your tastebuds!

Tickets available in advance here, or at any of our class nights or freestyles, or on the door on the night if there's any left, however Winchester Ball tickets usually sell out in advance, so don't leave it to the last minute to get your ticket if you would like to come!

Dance Yourself Dizzy DVDs. Learn at home then show off to the world.

Modern Jive DVDsWhy not fast track your learning and learn Modern Jive moves at home.

Our DVDs take you right from the basics of Modern Jive and onwards. Learning to dance Modern Jive at home can compliment your regular class nights or teach you from scratch.

If you already attend a class night our DVDs can remind you of moves that you might have already covered while adding to the repertoire of moves at your disposal. What's the point of spending time and money going to a class night if you then come home and forget everything you have learnt.

If you don't already attend a class night and want to learn from the very basics our Beginners DVD will cover that too.

Each DVD teaches moves in the same way as you would learn in a normal class, breaking them down step by step and then running through them up to speed.

Our range of DVDs currently includes the following titles.
