Founded in Launceston in 2007, and relocating to Hobart due to instructors change of address, Le Bop Modern Jive Tasmania has provided classes to a range of people, demonstrated at a number of events around Tasmania, and provided a number of short courses for Adult Education in both Launceston and currently in Kingston and Hobart.

We currently teach classes in North Hobart, and soon in Kingston. And also offer private lessons, group lessons, wedding packages, and entertainment for events.

Kim Ryan is the founder of Le Bop in Tasmania, and continues to be the primary teacher at all classes. When a work opportunity resulted in her moving to Tasmania in 2005 to work as a Guide Dog Instructor, she hoped to keep up the dance style, but on arrival there were no classes in her local area, so started classes to pass her passion of Modern Jive on to the locals. She became involved with Le Bop in 2006 meeting Deb Cantoni at a dance event, opening up Le Bop Tasmania in 2007.

Le Bop Tasmania offers a relaxed class format, fun social evenings, and are like one giant family.  We frequently go as groups to community events, including jazz festivals, balls, even theatre in the park.  It has been through the close knit dance community here, and the support of a few very keen dancers, that Le Bop tasmania has grown to be the friendly ever expanding dance franchise that it is today. And through this I personally have made some fantastic friends!!!
