Jive Cats is brought to you by Debra and John
We welcome your inquiries and look forward to meeting you.
Debra began teaching dance in March 1990, focusing on Rock'n'Roll and Ballroom (ISTD), teaching with Bill Heron - making a great initial contribution to the growth of the local dance scene.
From 1994, bitten by The Jitterbug, Debra was the first local organiser of swing revival dances and classes in and around Reading, spreading the Lindy Hop to new audiences and introducing many people to a life-long pleasure.
In 1996 Debra launched the famous Jive Junction with DJ Rob McKim. This is when John joined Debra's dance world and their shared passion for dance brought them together to learn, perform and teach in partnership.
Dance opens the door to so much fun and we love to play our part in bringing you to the party. Debra and John also host regular social events, often with live bands, so your move from class to club can be seamless.
