Describe Modern Jive!
If you had just invented this brand new dance form and were trying to get people excited about it, what would you have called it - apart from Modern Jive? There's still time for your ideas... let's hear them.
Here's what we have so far...
Style in Motion
Dance to the Max
Stylin'!
If we get a bunch of submissions we'll put them to a vote. While voting/winning the vote does not make the use of a name binding, there will be prizes for:
The submission that wins the vote
The one we actually use, IF we decide to use it. See note above.
A couple of Guidelines
-- Keep ideas to as few words as possible: three words are great, two even better and one - fantastic.
-- Ideally it shouldn't be a name someone else is already using.
Send your ideas to Nicky via email or use the email address below.
Can you describe Modern Jive? Let's see what we come up with.
