Next dance: [ Booking Essential ]
Sunday afternoon 16th Feb. 1pm to 5pm
updated 23rd January 2025
Our previous venue has changed so our new location is:
The Mercury Motel on the A6 near Westhoughton BL53JP - and is an easy accessible venue with plenty of parking and comfy chairs.
These events are on a Sunday afternoon 1pm to 5pm
The dance floor is only small but the atmosphere is really good - takes you back to the 50's and 60's as it is one of the first motels to be built similar to the American ones.
Booking for these Sunday afternoon events is essential as the numbers are limited due to the floor being small and carpeted (so you need smooth leather /plastic soles to your shoes ) - This is mainly a social event and we will be raising money for local charities from any items contributed by dancers and raffled off during the event.
The music we play will suit (Ceroc) Jive dancing and as before we will be showing the bands on an 8 foot projector screen to bring the music alive.
The music volume will allow chatting to be enjoyable so a social atmosphere is respected.
To reserve a place at this 'cosy' event please
email : kevanjlatham@hotmail.com
or whatsapp Kevan at 07505320612
If you like our event and would like to come on a regular basis and get priority booking you can join our Twirlys club whatsapp group.
This will be a monthly event with flexible dates to suit the hotel itinerary.
Entry to the dance will be £5 for dancers and £1 for non-dancers.

Charity raffles
Our dances at our last venue (before covid lockdown) raised a total of £4459 for various local charities by you being so generous - bringing raffle prizes and buying raffle tickets - well done everyone .
Purpose
Video-Music club is based in Bolton and was the only jive club north of London that played jive music whilst showing the bands on an 8 foot projector screen .
The clubs philosophy is to enjoy all genres of music and to celebrate the artists who have given us so much pleasure in our love of dance music
Whilst focusing our dances on modern jive style we also include charleston + swing + rock/roll + country + northern soul + disco to all our freestyle dance nights to ensure everyone can have fun doing their 'thing' .
Our club's policy is for anyone attending to be able to ask anyone for a dance and thus more able to make friends + enjoy the dance afternoons better.
Whilst having fun we also dedicate a portion of our events to raising money for LOCAL charities .
---BRINGING THE MUSIC ALIVE---
The music is never too loud to chat with your friends.
