Andy's thread on venues got me thinking - So
What is your idea Ceroc night.
For me it is going to be close to Hipsters Tuesday minus the Lindy.
2 great classes
1 style 8pm to 8:45
1 advanced 9 to 9:30 (9:40 latest)
Dancing until 11:30 with a profficient DJ who has a strong handle on interpretive music and what works locally (anything works locally if the teachers and DJ works together).
Teachers would have to be good and very experienced (a rare commodity) Good would equal, crowd control, personality, varying voice tones and inflections, ability to break down moves proficiently and a forward thinking approach.
Of course this would attract better dancers - me I would normally turn up for the freestyle and occationally for the lessons if feeling social.
As for me, I have tried to encorage the local dance company owners to do this, they go part way, then have "droped the ball" through lack of personal input or lack of knowledge of dance forms and musicality.
This of course is my personal opinion, or as they say IMHO :flower:
