Modern Jive In Action: A Freestyle Performance
Check out one of our latest Masters performances. This was improvised with no choreography, no prior knowledge of the song - just dancing in the moment !!!
With the flexibility of Modern Jive, we can keep it simple with footwork that steps to the beat, or switch it up by dancing to the lyrics and other musical layers. Modern Jive isn't just for this song; it adapts effortlessly to a wide range of music styles, from pop and hip-hop to country, rock, latin and more.
Whatever the song calls for, Modern Jive lets us move to the music in our own way !!!
