EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST
Dance with Stacey was established in 2018 by experienced Modern Jive teacher and dancer Stacey Marley.
With around 20 years of Modern Jive experience and over 18 years teaching the dance, Stacey is a qualified LeRoc Federation instructor, has passed the Federation’s Higher Level examination, is a recommended Teacher Trainer and has judged at the International Modern Jive Championships.
Stacey also teaches at larger Modern Jive events alongside running her own regular classes, workshops and social dances across the South Coast.
But experience isn’t about making dancing complicated.
It’s about knowing how to make it easier to learn, enjoyable to develop and fun from the very beginning.
