Superb Australian Styling!
Each
DVD offers six fantastic "Wow factor" moves, highly suitable for
competition and cabaret work. Each move is broken down carefully and
taught thoroughly in a safe workshop environment. Click on the DVD cover to
see pictures of the moves.
Taught and demonstrated by Masters Level Champions John & Carolyn
Woodman with their unique and easy teaching style.
John & Carolyn Woodman are the Mainstream Teachers and Managing
Directors of Club Jive/Mamboroc Dance Company, based in Newcastle,
Australia; they teach Modern Jive and specialise in Dips, Baby Aerials
and Lifts. They have successfully competed together in Interstate and
National Modern Jive Championships, achieving Masters Level.

Club Jive
Dips Workshop DVD
Superb Australian Styling!
32 Dips that can be applied to any dance style. A fantastic range of
stylish dips, drops, seducers, laybacks, lambadas and leans.
Demonstrated by Masters Level Champions John & Carolyn Woodman with
their unique and easy teaching style.
This Club Jive Dips DVD takes you through 32 Dips that can be applied
to any dance style. We hope you find dips you love, that you can add to
your dance repertoire and make your own. Click on the cover to
see the full list of moves.
Note:
This DVD was originally designed as an aide-memoire for those who had
attended John & Carolyn's workshops. It does not teach the moves in
detail. It shows the moves step-by-step and at full speed. This is a
great collection of fantastic moves for experienced dancers.
