Fancy some dancing to live music in the fabulous retro Rivoli Ballroom? Our ever-popular monthly Saturday nights have a lively buzz, great jive, swing, rock and roll and original R&B music.

Jive Party is for beginners and experts alike. Every month we bring you a top live band playing Jive, Swing, Rock and Roll and original Rhythm 'n' Blues music designed to keep you on the dance floor. The night gets underway with a jive dance class aimed at beginners, to give you some pointers on jive partner dancing. Between two sets by the band, and afterwards, DJs keep the music flowing until 1am. A licensed bar, a fabulous spacious maple sprung dance floor, and the uniquely glamorous interior of The Rivoli Ballroom make for a brilliant night out. If you've not yet been to a Jive Party, why not make this a date and find out why the Rivoli Jive Party is one of the longest running dance events in the Capital? We'll have been going 30 years this November. See below for dates and bands.

UPCOMING DATES:


OCTOBER 21ST: VINTAGE

Despite the name, the musicians in Vintage are anything but – this three-piece band is made up of young rock’n’rollers that never cease to amaze their audiences. They play an array of hits from Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Bill Hayley, Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry – to name but a few…

The band is crazily busy so we’re lucky to get them for a Saturday night at the Rivoli – but it’s a perfect venue for them guys to show off their brilliant musical talents and for everyone to get onto the big maple Rivoli dance floor and show what you can do.
As usual, there will also be a jive class for beginners 8:30pm – 9pm.


Be sure to book your spot at The Rivoli on October 21st – you can look forward to two sets from the band with DJs filling in, licenced bar and the fabulous surroundings of The Rivoli Ballroom.

           

NOVEMBER 18TH: MEMPHIS LEE AND THE CREEPERS



We’re thrilled to announce we’ve bagged the incredible Memphis Lee & The Creepers to perform again in November. If you’re a fan of that authentic rock n roll sound, you won’t be disappointed. The Creepers deliver the sounds of Bill Haley, Eddie Cochran, Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry to name but four, in style, with two guitars, sax, piano, bass and drums topped with belting vocals.

The band members have worked with many famous names from the rock n roll and rockabilly scenes – names like Mike Sanchez, James Hunter and Si Cranstoun, and some that might surprise you, like Eric Clapton and Imelda May. So be sure to book your spot at The Rivoli on November 19th – whatever the weather outside, it’s going to be one hot rock n roll night inside. As usual, there will also be a jive class for beginners 8:30pm – 9pm.     
      

DECEMBER 16TH: LAURA B & HER BAND

Hot favourites with everyone in the know, Laura B and her band are back on the Rivoli stage for yet another blistering night of good time, jive, swing and R&B. You'd have to be comatose not to enjoy this night with some of the very best musicians in the country recreating that authentic 50's sound.

More about Jive Party

Jive Party is one of the Capital's longest-running dance events, going right back to the early 1990's, 20 November 1993 to be precise. Jive Parties were initially held at Leicester Square’s Notre Dame Hall, before our move to the larger Rivoli Ballroom, a totally unique, Grade II-listed venue that’s perfect for dancing to live music. The large maple sprung dancefloor is lit by chandeliers, glitter balls and over-sized chinese lanterns. The walls are adorned with red velvet and flock wallpaper. You’ll recognise it as a backdrop in countless photo-shoots, pop videos, TV shows and feature films! Read what The Independent had to say about it.

A friendly, inclusive and welcoming greeting awaits you. If you've not been to a Jive Party, why not? Here are some of our recent reviews from Design My Night customers:

    Where do I begin? This is one of the best night's out I've ever had! Every single member of staff we came into contact with - from the gentleman at the front door, to the staff checking tickets, the cloakrooms, the bar staff, were wonderful. The venue speaks for itself, it is one of the most beautiful venues I've ever been to. The dance class, music, and dancing, were joyous. Events like this should be prescribed on the NHS, it was wonderful. We'll be back!
