Our Thursday dance night is managed by Chris Claxton on behalf of Stylz Jive. Chris learnt to dance at the club and is also an accomplished DJ providing the latest fabulous dance music for the Thursday evening. If you have any questions about the Thursday evening dance night drop Chris an email.

Kylie will be on reception every Thursday evening to welcome our dancers and to work with Chris making sure everything flows smoothly.

We are very fortunate to have three of the best DJ's in the North West providing the music for our Tuesday dance nights. Nigel, Rob and CJ (Alias Clive) are all well respected on the dance circuit for the excellent selection of music they play. Having three DJ's on a rota, plus Chris on a Thursday, means we get a constant variety of the best dance music around and ensures that it never gets repetitive. There is always a good mix of styles, something for everybody.
