The London Jive Club in Baker Street is probably the only club which has a dancing school
The London Jive Club in Baker Street is probably the only club which has a dancing school held on weekday evenings to teach not only ballroom dancing, but Jive, Jitterbug, skiffle and any other new dance that comes along. Every Saturday and Sunday the pupils have their own dance with a resident Jazz band and Jive records brought along by pupils and played on a radio-gram. Her long pony-tail hairdo swinging one way and her large medallion necklace swinging the other way Shirley Gibson half closes her eyes as she dances with Frank O Donnell. November 1956 H9147-005

The London Jive Club - Where Dance and Youth Culture Collide in 1950s Baker Street
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into a bygone era of vibrant music, youthful energy, and the latest dance crazes at The London Jive Club. Nestled in the heart of Baker Street, this unique club stands out as the only one to offer a dancing school on weekday evenings. From elegant ballroom moves to the lively rhythms of Jive, Jitterbug, skiffle, and any other new dance that emerges – they teach it all. Every weekend, eager pupils gather for their own spirited dance session accompanied by a resident Jazz band. The air is filled with infectious melodies spun from vinyl records brought along by enthusiastic dancers themselves and played on an old-fashioned radio-gram. In this print captured in November 1956, Shirley Gibson steals the spotlight. Her long pony-tail hairdo swings gracefully as she glides across the floor with Frank O'Donnell. With her eyes half-closed in sheer blissful abandon, Shirley embodies the spirit of youthfulness and freedom that permeates every corner of The London Jive Club. This snapshot not only captures a moment frozen in time but also reflects an entire generation's love for fashion-forward clothing choices and carefree entertainment. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when socializing meant hitting up clubs like these – where jiving was not just a hobby but a way of life.
