The Jenny Effect strikes again! Twenty-four happy Jammers spent a whole day hammering a brand-new routine into shape, and we can't believe how good it looks already. That's what you get when your choreographer is the best in the business. And because we asked nicely, she even let us stop for lunch too 😉
Thank you for another brilliant workshop, Jenny Thomas. You really do bring out the best in us. Please come and see us again soon!

And now for something a little different! The Jammers were lucky enough to experience a fantastic evening with Anna Mudeka, benefiting from her incredible energy, spirit and wealth of knowledge of West and Southern African dance - and if that wasn't enough, she brought her drummers with her too! Thank you, Anna, for sharing your culture and journey with us. It was a wonderful evening and we'd love to have you back with us again soon.
A lovely, warm thank you to everyone who joined us for our first Jammers session of 2026 ✨ It was a pleasure to welcome some new faces and start the year dancing with friends.
If you missed it, don’t worry — all of our Thursday evening sessions throughout January are open, so there’s still plenty of time to come along and see what we’re about.
Classes are at intermediate level. You don’t need to be a jazz dance expert to join us, but we do ask that dancers either:
🔸 have some previous experience in jazz, tap, or related dance form, or ...
🔸 dance regularly and are at an intermediate level in another style.
📍 Silver Road Community Centre
🕖 Thursdays, 7–9pm (January only)
💷 £10 for 2 hours
Jammers is all about working together to improve our dance, build confidence in performance, and progress as a supportive community - if that sounds like your thing, get in touch.

🎺 The first Jammers session of 2026 kicks off tomorrow evening at 7pm, Silver Road 🎶
We're looking forward to waking up our bodies up after the holidays, reconnecting with the music, and spending time with our little jazz dance community.
January is a trial month, so if you’re curious about joining us, do come along and dance! We’re a friendly bunch who support each other to learn, grow, and enjoy the dance together.
Hope to see some new (and familiar!) faces.
A peek behind the scenes of our Some of These Days routine below, choreographed by Jenny Thomas. Still my personal favourite! 🧡
🎉✨ It’s almost 2026!
If you’re thinking about dancing more in the new year, love jazz and swing, and you’re based in/ near Norwich, we might have just the thing…
Our lovely, supportive vernacular jazz dance troupe, the Jenny Thomas Jammers, are opening our doors to new members from Thursday 8 January.
We’re a friendly group of dancers of all ages who meet on Thursday evenings to build confidence in jazz dance and performance — though performing is always optional.
You may have seen us dancing at a local event. We’re supported and guided by amazing professional choreographer Jenny Thomas, who helps shape our training and development.
✨ January is a trial month, so you’re very welcome to drop in on any Thursday, dance with us, and see what we’re about.
We don’t expect new members to be proficient in jazz, but we do ask that dancers either dance regularly and are at an intermediate level in another style, or have previous experience in jazz, tap, or another dance form and are prepared to practice outside of class to support their development.
📍 Silver Road Community Centre
🕖 Thursdays, 7–9pm (from 8 January)

Video below from the JT Jammers’ July performance of Sing You Sinners by Fletcher Henderson at the Assembly House during the Fine City Swing Festival. The amazing choreography is courtesy of the brilliant Jenny Thomas 🧡
So, as promised, here it is - Saturday night's performance! 😍💥
We think this may just be the most complex routine we've attempted yet. But it's up there with our favourites - possibly top of the list - and we're on the hunt for opportunities to dance it again as soon as we can!
As always, thank you so much to the incredible Jenny Thomas for conjuring up this choreography and then working her magic further to pull it all into place. We hope we've done your vision proud, Jenny - and we can't wait to see what you dream up for your Jammers next!
Whether you saw us live at Fine City Swing or whether you're watching this for the first time, we'd love to hear your thoughts on our performance. And don't forget, if you're searching for a troupe to jazz up your event, look no further. Please feel free to get in touch!
Thank you again to Fine City Swing for giving us a showcase slot and once more, with feeling, to Jenny - and thank you, of course, to you, for all your support.
Anyway, enough from us. Sit back, press play and enjoy...

The Jammers had such a great time performing on Saturday night at Fine City Swing! We couldn't wait to showcase our new routine, choreographed as always by the brilliant Jenny Thomas, and it went down an absolute storm. The full video will be posted shortly, but for now, here are a few behind-the-scenes shots from before and after our performance. The smiles say it all...
Video incoming. Brace for impact! 💥🔥

Well, that was a hot and sticky way to spend a Saturday! It wasn't just the stand-up fans that worked overtime this afternoon 🥵 But six hours and seventeen tired Jammers later and our new routine has been given the 'Jenny Effect' - and those smiles should tell you everything you need to know! We can't wait to show it off it at Fine City Swing in July, but we all agree that this routine definitely deserves more than one outing, so if you're need of a dazzling jazz troupe to perform at your event, make sure you get in touch!
Thank you, Jenny Thomas, for all your time and effort in fine-tuning us today. We promise we'll do you and your fantastic choreography proud.
Now for a shower and a long, cold drink! Cheers to the Jenny Thomas Jammers Norwich. We've certainly earned it today!

It's official - we broke Jenny! Nine hours on a train and four hours of polishing our brand-new routine in readiness for our upcoming performance would tax the energy of any normal choreographer. But amazingly, she's still smiling at the end of it!
We're so excited about performing at Fine City Swing in three weeks' time. If you want to be in the audience (and dancing all night to an amazing band too!) then there are still a few social tickets available - head to www.finecityswing.co.uk for more details.
Thank you so much for making such a marathon effort to visit us, Jenny Thomas, and we hope you have a smoother journey home!

All smiles after this evening's rehearsal! Today was in aid of Brain Tumour Research and this amazing bunch really stepped up their headwear game! Thank you so much for all your support for such a vital cause and for having loads of fun in doing so too!
