The
Origins
of
Ceroc:
Ceroc
was
originally
based
on
Rock
and
Roll
and
was
developed
in
France
after
its
introduction
by
American
GIs
at
the
end
of
the
Second
World
War.
Since
the
early
80s,
Ceroc
has
developed
its
own
unique
style
and
is
often
referred
to
as
'modern
jive'.
It
is
easy
to
learn,
great
fun
and
hugely
addictive.
A
Typical
Ceroc
Night:
A
Ceroc
night
starts
with
a
Beginners'
class
of
about
45
minutes.
You
will
learn
four
moves
that
are
surprisingly
simple.
Each
week
the
moves
will
change
allowing
you
to
progress
quickly
to
the
next
level
(usually
in
about
6
weeks).
Teaching
methods
are
such
that
you
don't
need
a
partner
to
take
part
as
the
class
is
rotated
ensuring
that
everybody
gets
a
chance
to
learn
the
moves
in
a
light-hearted
and
relaxed
atmosphere.
Later
in
the
night,
the
more
challenging
Intermediate
Class
begins.
This
is
an
ideal
time
for
beginners
to
sit
back
and
watch
whilst
having
a
drink.
After
about
30
minutes,
the
intermediate
class
is
over
and
the
Ceroc
DJ
takes
command
of
the
Freestyle
Session.
This
is
up
to
an
hour
and
a
quarter
of
pure
uninterrupted
dance
when
you
can
practice
your
moves,
improve
your
style
and
soak
up
the
atmosphere.
Ceroc
Moves:
There
are
over
500
moves
in
Ceroc
(just
22
are
classed
as
Beginners'
moves).
They
vary
in
difficulty
and
style,
some
more
acrobatic,
some
sexier,
but
more
importantly,
all
fun
to
learn
and
to
dance.
Ceroc
teachers
will
select
a
new
routine
every
week
to
ensure
you
always
get
a
challenging
and
fun
night.
Clothing:
You
do
not
need
any
particular
clothing
to
attend
a
Ceroc
evening.
Just
come
as
you
are,
wearing
comfortable
clothes
and
footwear
that
will
allow
you
to
move
freely
on
the
dance
floor.
Remember
that
you
will
get
quite
hot,
so
a
change
of
top
is
usually
a
good
idea.
