About Nailsea LeRoc

Nailsea LeRoc run weekly classes in North Somerset at Scotch Horn Leisure Centre, Nailsea.

Everyone is welcome – couples, with a friend, or come on your own.  We teach complete beginners through to intermediates interspersed with freestyle to give you a chance to practice.  

We are a very relaxed and friendly class.

If you are looking for a new social group then this will give you everything from learning a new skill to exercise and making new friends.

History of LeRoc

Le Roc, now more widely known as Modern Jive, is French jive.  In the 60s, when the British and Americans stopped rock and rolling and starting twisting, the French carried on and developed their own style of jive.  It was brought to the UK in the early 80s and arrived in Bristol in 1985.  It has become incredibly popular over the subsequent years and is now a nationally recognised form of dance.  It is very easy to learn and can be danced to most types of music, from current chart to swing, blues, rock and roll and all the eras from 50s through to 00s.

Classes

These are held at the Scotch Horn Leisure Centre Nailsea.

The evening runs from 7.30pm until 9.45pm.

Beginners starts at 7.30pm and finishes at 8.15pm.  You will be taught 3 moves.

There is then a 15 minute break to have a practice or a drink.

Intermediates starts at 8.30pm and finishes at 9.15pm

Whilst the Intermediates are being taught, the Beginners go into a separate room with different teachers to learn an extra move which will link into the 3 already taught.  Therefore, by the end of the evening you will have learnt 4 moves to make up a routine.

When all lessons end, the lights are turned down, the music turned up and it is general dancing until 9.45pm.

The cost of the evening is £8 regardless of whether you one class, both classes or both classes and freestyle.

Freestyle Dances

We run freestyles every other month on a Saturday evening at the Scotch Horn.

These events attract dancers from all over the South West.

They start at 8.00pm and run on until 11.30pm and cost £10 on the door.

F.A.Q’s

• Do I need a partner:

You can come with a partner, a friend, or on your own.  We move everyone around during the lesson anyway regardless of whether you come with a partner to ensure you all get a chance to participate.

• What should I wear:

Whatever you feel comfortable in and probably good idea to bring layers as you will get warmer throughout the lesson.

• Do I need special dance shoes:

Not at the beginning.  Any shoe with a smooth sole is ideal, not trainers as they tend to stick and make spinning tricky, especially for the ladies.

• Do I need to book:

No, you can just turn up and pay on the door.

• Is it a course:

No, we mix and match the beginners’ moves over the weeks so they are continually appearing again.

• What if I miss a class:

As above, because the moves are repeated regularly, missing a lesson does not matter.

• Do I have to stay the whole evening:

You pay £8 for the whole evening but you can just stay for the first lesson, for two lessons or both lessons plus the freestyle.
