4D Dance
About 4D Dance
Hi, let us introduce ourselves!
We are Chelsea and Nathan Sawley and we started 4D Dance because we are passionate about growing the modern jive community in Adelaide. Our goal is to provide a fun, inclusive, and safe space for people to socialise and grow themselves as dancers.
​
Modern jive (also known as Ceroc) is a modern form of partner dancing that is easy to learn and can be enjoyed with almost any style of music; including top 40, hip-hop, swing, and more.
​
Modern jive is primarily a social dance that promotes building friendships and having a good time. However, for those inclined, there are many opportunities to grow as a dancer by taking private lessons, workshops, and competing all around the world.
About the owners
Nathan started dancing in 2010 after being coerced into a dance class that he had no interest in attending!
He was immediately hooked and became a regular at classes.
It didn't take long for him to find his passion for competing and pushing himself to be the best dancer he could be. After becoming a teacher and seeing that same passion in his students, Nathan found the desire to help them become the best dancers they could be too.
​
Nathan loves modern jive for the freedom it allows him to have in his dance and for the many friends that he has found through the modern jive community.

Chelsea moved to Adelaide in 2006 and, with two left feet, was invited to a dance class. Having met very few people, she found this was a great community that she could connect with on a social level. For many years, dancing was simply fun, fitness, and friends!
Chelsea started dancing (and competing) with Nathan in 2017 and caught "the bug". This is when she really developed a passion for dancing, improving herself as a dancer, and helping others to do the same.
​
Chelsea enjoys modern jive because she can lose herself in the moment and forget the day's worries. Competing around the world has given her an extraordinary dance family, which she feels blessed to be a part of.
