20 Years of Dancing

A family run business formed in 2003. Specialising in professionally organised Modern Jive and Argentine Tango Dance Weekenders, WCS Events, Competitions and Dance Holidays, using the best National and International instructors.

In 2007, we launched the first 100% WCS weekend with the introduction of the ‘UK WCS Champs’, and became the very first World Swing Dance Council Registry Event outside the USA. Since then we have launched the UK Westie Bootcamp events and varius Intensive weekends.

Fun and friendly dance weekenders and if you want to improve your dancing in a short space of time, a Jive Addiction dance weekend could be just what you're looking for!

Jive Addiction dance holidays are carefully planned using more than 16 years of experience, because your enjoyment is the most important thing to us.

  • What an amazing weekender!! Loved the new venue, the spacious dance areas, fabulous Pro's, truly inspiring teaching and the friendliest hotel staff. I had a brilliant time and some truly amazing dances. Thank you the whole JA team for putting on a great event and helping make it so. Count me in for next year.

  • The UK WCS Championships is a major event in this environment and after 11 years, it loses nothing of its richness because thanks to its promoter John Armstrong-Holmes, who seeks all the time to renew itself, he proposes to everyone the same thing, to share His passion for WCS.

    I don't normally do these posts after events but thought I would make an exception for this one and give a few shout outs as I didn't get around to doing the envelopes (I will make the effort next year I promise !!!!)

    Out of all the weekenders I have done over the past 15 odd years, this one has been by far my fave. Huge thanks to Glenn Ball, John Armstrong-Holmes and the JA team for creating the concept and running this event. The pro shows were off the scale.

    Looking forward to next year !!!
