Your instructors
Mark
Founder & Lead Instructor
Mark started dancing Leroc Modern Jive in 2008 with an 8-week beginners course. He then continued dancing locally and ultimately crewed for several local operators. After teaching informally since 2017, Mark became a qualified teacher under the LeRoc Modern Jive Federation in 2022, gaining full membership in November 2024. In January 2023 he opened his own venue in Worthing, with a vision to offer top-notch instruction in a welcoming and supportive setting.
Teresa
Co-Instructor & Demo Partner
Teresa started dancing in 2018 as a way of getting out and meeting new people, as well as learning a new hobby. When normal classes resumed in 2022 after the pandemic, she became Mark's regular demo partner and was instrumental in helping set up the dance classes in Worthing. She has flourished as a dancer and has competed with Mark in the World Modern Jive Championships and International Open Modern Jive Championships.
