iDance Wellington

iDance Classic 2026 registrations are now closed, and we can confirm that this is going to be the biggest Classic in five years!

If you haven't registered for the competition, you can still come along, hang out, support all the amazing dancers, and have some socials. Passes will be available on the door.

🏃 Registrations for iDance Classic 2026 close this Friday! That means partners and payments must be sorted by Friday or you risk missing out.

If you have any issues or questions, message us here or at [email protected] and we can help you out.

What is a Floorial then?

Floorials are a fun category of moves where something other than your feet touches the floor during the dance. That could be your hand, your knee, both at the same time, or even sitting positions and grounded shapes.

Some examples of floorials are:

A New Yorker to the floor
A step across where the lead touches the floor
The lead dropping to one knee, sitting the follow on knee or walking around them you
Any move where your hand, knee, or body intentionally connects with the floor

Floorials are smooth, can be dramatic, always playful and creative and they’re not about tricks or breakdancing. They’re about controlled, intentional movement that plays with levels and makes your dancing more expressive and dynamic.

Still unsure what counts as a floorial? Check out this video of our Level 1s and 2s doing floorials at Simply last year...

🆕 New year, new me, New... comer moves? Also new!

We're back to our regular schedule of classes for Wednesday and Thursday nights, but with an update! For the first time in a decade, we've modernised our newcomer moves to better represent the current state of modern jive. Most moves have had small updates, some have had larger overhauls, and a few are no longer in the rotation.

A huge amount of work went into redesigning our newcomer curriculum, and we think we've taken a really positive step for our dancers of tomorrow.

For a full list of new newcomer moves and class routines, check out

Newcomer Moves | iDance Modern Jive Wellington Each routine consists of four moves, with some moves included in many different routines. We've designed the routines to flow together.
