Let's meet the owners

Alan, Tina and Kayla

Also known as Mama and Papa Kingshott. They began dancing over 20 years ago and have never looked back. It all started when Papa Kingshott wanted to get a motorbike and Mama Kingshott said sure thing if you come dancing with me… Little did Papa Kingshott realise his two left feet would actually get him the name Mr Smooth on the dance floor with his laid back dancing approach and never being too far away from the bar. Whereas, Mama Kingshott had dancing in her blood from a young age and has competed in many ballroom competitions including at the famous Blackpool Tower.

Mama and Papa Kingshott introduced Baby Kingshott to the Modern Jive world. So be sure to grab them for a dance as you won't be disappointed. Together all 3 Kingshott's bring the family element to dancing and look forward to welcoming you into the Modern Jive King community along with the Crown Jules (teacher) and the rest of the Modern Jive King crew.

Kayla, also known as Baby Kingshott. Baby Kingshott has been dancing for over 10 years (no, not the puppy), it all started at a small independent dance venue where she instantly fell in love with the ease of moves and the vast array of music to dance to. As she progressed she started visiting more and more venues across the UK learning from some of the best Modern Jivers on the circuit.

Baby Kingshott started DJing for a Modern Jive company where she met her dance partner and started competing in national and international competitions. She has a real love for music and loves nothing more than to see the dance floor packed with smiling faces dancing the night away, you'll often find her sneaking off for a dance or two throughout the evening so make sure you ask for a dance if you catch her.
