Following the change of popular music in the end of the FOURTIES from BIG BAND SWING to RHYTHM & BLUES, ROCKABILLY and finally ROCK & ROLL, the (most famous SWING dance) LINDY HOP became more simplified in the U.K. and was referred to as JIVING.

The ROCKABILLY JIVE (as it's called nowadays) has a unique rhythm, motion, and emphasis – a 'feel' – that is not captured by any other dance style. It may be danced in several different forms without using a back-step – this marks the ROCKABILLY JIVE as distinctly different from other dance styles. With a very basic step it's very accessible, easy to learn, perfect for dancing to fast music from the FIFTIES and looks super-cool.

As a passionate ambassador of this culture, King D not only plays the music – he teaches the moves. With years of experience on the dance floor and behind the decks, he offers Rockabilly Jive classes that are energetic, welcoming, and true to the spirit of the 1950s. Whether you're taking your first steps or polishing your style, King D’s classes are the perfect way to get into the groove – vintage style.
