More About The Teachers

picture soon Matt & Sarah

Meet the dynamic dance duo, Matt and Sarah, who collectively bring over 50 years of dance expertise to the floor. Qualifying as modern jive teachers in 2009, they each have unique dance backgrounds that blend seamlessly. Sarah's foundation lies in ballet, tap, and jazz, while Matt's journey began in line dancing. Their paths converged as they discovered the joy of modern jive – Sarah during her university days and Matt in the local modern jive scene.

Their impressive dance careers include numerous modern jive competitions, with Matt earning the prestigious title of twice World Open Modern Jive Champion, and Sarah boasting several UK Open titles. They also made history as members of the pioneering 2 Hot Rhythm competition team and later took on the roles of choreographers and coaches for BUST (the Bristol University Student Team), extending their legacy.
