great atmosphere, great music , great bands, great friendly crowd

and some great jivers, this place as got it all

The place to be EVERY first Friday of the month for a great friendly dance! Non Stop jiving guaranteed

The only real place to learn to jive, a great social evening as well, fun and great exercise Gwynfor and Mia put their heart and soul into teaching rock n roll dancing for sure Tuesdays evenings the best place around

Loved our first experience of Jive really good atmosphere with a lovely bunch of people we will be back for more

James and I have been meaning to learn to jive for years. At Christmas we decided we would secretly learn to surprise our friends and family for the first dance at our wedding.



Keeping the secret was really difficult as we have just had SO MUCH FUN!



We went to learn to jive, we successfully did that but also we made a heap of new friends and joined a whole new social scene.



What I LOVE most is that VJ is soooo inclusive and friendly. You do not need to have your own dance partner so dancing is not exclusively for couples. Just come along - you'll have a ball! #keepjivealive

I have a fab night every time I go. I've only jjust started to learn rock n roll but eveyone makes me feel welcome.

Great music, great dancing, friendly atmosphere. Can't wait for the next dance!

First ever jive lesson tonight, we absolutely loved it, Gwyn and Mia made it so easy to learn the moves, gonna practice on the beach in Tenerife ready for lesson number 2 when we get back!����

Brilliant place to Rock n Roll, allways friendly place to go on the first afariday of every Month

Big thanks to Gwynfor and Mia for a fantastic workshop and dance event for madeinroath, if you want to learn to jive, Valley Jive are the best!
