About Club Jive

Mamboroc Dance Company began in 2001 by Carolyn and John Woodman, who after dancing for many years and finding a love for Modern Jive, established Club Jive Dance Company which has taught many Novacastrians the passion of dance. Their desire and direction has seen Club Jive as the longest standing dance company in the Hunter and Newcastle region. Under the new direction of Rachel Davis & Laurie Fawkner, who have been dancing with Club Jive for many years and have been operating as venues managers at Kahibah since 2007, continue the vision of Club Jive into 2011 and beyond!
