About Us

How, when, why and everything else about ourselves, Keith & Janey & Revolution Dance.

Although very well respected as a dance company, Revolution Dance can often be found providing dancers for cabaret performances throughout the UK & even Europe, along with Singers, Bands & DJ’s for every event you can think of...

Below you can see Keith & Vicky performing at the Earl of Doncaster after winning the World Modern Jive Championships for the Showcase Sector, the same year they won the Ceroc Scottish Championships. The first video is part of a previous Workshop they taught in Wales. A great place to learn partner dancing whilst socialise with fun loving people.

Keith & Janey can be found running their own venues in Poynton, Stockport, Alderley Edge & Northwich, plus 4* Weekenders in York, Doncaster, Skipton + an All Inclusive Holiday in Mallorca, as well as touring the UK and Europe, teaching and performing for many other Jive and Salsa companies, including Blitz Jive another local company, to Rock Bottoms right down south, Ceroc Daventry & Top Cat Dance Scotland! Together and individually they have performed at the Opera House & Palace Theatre, Manchester, have worked with Katie Melua and the BBC’s Philharmonic Orchestra. Keith also appeared in front of a 10,000 live audience performing 3 dance routines and a solo routine to ‘Mr Bojangles’, whilst over 10 million watched from home.

Other TV appearances included Chanel 4’s ‘Come Dine With Me’, providing the host with cabaret & entertainment, and appearing on CBBC’s ‘Alesha’s Street Dance Stars’ working with Alesha Dixon, providing cabaret & routines for the children to learn and then to progress through to the finals, with Bev taking a place on the judging panel, alongside, Turbo, Kendrick, & Lizzy off ‘So you think you can dance’

In 2010 Keith & Janey won a BBC ‘Strictly’ Competition at the BBC’s actual ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Semi-Finals (It took place between the Saturday Evening show & the Sunday Eliminator, beating off Salsaro’s and Latin Ballroom dancers, one for the Modern Jiver’s!

Since Entering his first Independent Modern Jive Competition ‘Advanced/Open Categories’, with his now wife Janey, some 20+ years ago he has never finished lower than the Top 5 Nationally & this has been maintained since with his 4 different dance partners, inc Victoria, the ‘Dance Diva’ Bev, & now Vicky, presently the World Modern Jive Champions in the ‘Showcase’ Category.

2012 saw the return of the now famous ‘Revolution Dance Show’ This third show had a beautiful twist with 2 Latin Ballroom Stars, hence ‘Dance Revolution’ was reborn. The first show some 10+ years ago was a complete sell out with dancers from all genres of dance showing off their talents. The second saw a more professional image with two of ‘Burn the Floors’ principle dancers headlining the show. 2012 saw the return of our stars, who have since choreographed major parts of ‘Street Dance 2’ the film, whilst Sharna one of the professional dancers in the USA’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ went on to win it & Patrick one of the Turkish Dancing with the Stars Pro’s & BBC Strictly Choreographer, who has also opened their 2015 show & is now one of the UK’s most sought after choreographers & dancers.

Keith & Janey Co-Launched the C2D European MJ Competition in 2000, at the Winter Gardens & Tower Ballroom Blackpool, and has subsequently judged at most major competitions, starting with Britroc for 2 consecutive years, then crowning the UK Blues Champions at ‘BeBo’ Rock Bottoms, in October 2011/12. He has also judged the Welsh Championships & similarly judged the International Open Jive Champs from July 2011 to present day, as well as Judging the World Modern Jive Champ’s 2015.
