MARK

Mark started his Modern Jive dancing career in 1997, passing his United Kingdom Alliance of Professional Teachers of Dance (UKA) exam in 1999 through membership of the LeRoc (Modern Jive) Federation, with which he still has ties. Mark has, since passing his exam, taught Modern Jive across the length and breadth of the UK and for a short period in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania (US) having maintained classes in England, Scotland and Wales over these years. Mark subsequently trained to become a teacher of Lindy Hop (Swing Jive) in 1999 and has been teaching Lindy Hop now for some 9 years and more recently becoming a teacher of Balboa (Bal-Swing).
