Lists of Moves

[Dreadful Scathe]

Does anyone actually have lists of Ceroc / Jive moves - i can never remember them all :(

If not - we could make some - whos up for it ?

[Franck]

Hi Scathe,

Welcome to the board. Pretty scary name / avatar!

To answer your question, someone posted a web address on the previous board (available from the news page of the Ceroc Scotland website).

There is also a list of all the routines / moves taught at your regular venue. You can ask the venue manager for a look at any time (if the teacher does not have it).

Cheers,

Franck.

Hi,

Just to add some detail to your other reply...

I run a site at www.jiveoholic.org.uk, where you will find lots of moves, many of the important ones with animation.

I have to say that this discussion group is technically excellent - far better than the one I have.

Hi,

That was the site I meant earlier. Thank you for the kind words on the Forum, it is only just starting, but seems to work quite well. :o

By the way your website is fantastic, I can only guess at the amount of work you must have put in to create all these animations and descriptions. :cool:

Well done man,

Franck.

[B]Hi,

Can I just add that your site is brill. As a new cerocer I find it difficult to remeber all the moves and signals - I log onto your site and practice with my 13 year old son.

Is he quite happy to help, or does he think it's uncool to dance with mum?

Must agree with Franck the Jiveoholic is a superb site and well worth visiting . Like most people I have trouble remembering which move is which but the animation is so good it jogs your memory and is so easy to follow. Always thought that there should be a book/video for beginners/intermediate - no need its all on this site!
Visit the site and support the creator for all his hard work !!!

hope you have a valid excuse for such abuse of emoticons ? or where you really rolling on the floor panting drunk ? :)

[xSalsa_Angelx]

haha..!!

yeah that's me rolling on the floor laughing, but not through too much drink, its after my boyfriend has had to do a push spin and punched me in the face (By accident of course, The boy aint got ryhthm) that's how I managed to come across the website with the moves, so that he can practice safely. ;)

Only discovered this rather hidden gem of a site myself a few days ago. It is excellent with quite a number of moves and a nice feel to it. I think it is excellent if moves are available from lots of sources - lots of variety.

However - just to save any confusion, www.jiveoholic.org.uk only charges (£10 per year to charity) for the illustrations and advanced search engine. Anyone can access 600 moves, described textually, without paying a penny and that is the way it will stay.

This is a great site - well worth it for the sarcy comments next to moves the author isn't so keen on. :)


Long slow halleluja: As Halleluja but instead of a simple arc, take up copious quantities of time doing 3 pointless things. [...]One way to spend your evening I guess.

[Emma]

There are THREE things in a halleluja?

I have to admit to haveing a strange affection for the much-maligned halleluja. If nothing else it's so cheesy that it usually raises a giggle

Am thinking of starting a society for the protection of the halleluja...

(good grief, must StepAwayFromComputer....)

Well Lory, you have all the moves I need anyway.....a slo hallelujah, hands behind the head followed by a cuddle shimmy ........... :yum: :yum: :yum:

In the immortal words of some bloke who sang a song...

How Lucky can one guy be.....? :flower:

[Andreas]

My old database comprises about 260 moves I think. But they will be no good for you as the names in NZ are sometimes err very different :D

[MartinHarper]

That'll just help lend our dancing an exotic air... :)

"What move was that?"
"Oh, just a teapot dragon... say, do you know the wasp?"

[dancecrave]

If anyone wondered where the site has gone, it has been moved due to ISP issues and is located at:

http://www.dancecrave.com/jivemoves

Just as sarcy as ever :)

P.S The idea is for readers to add any moves they know not already in the database, so go on, have a go.. :clap: :grin:

That's a lot of moves. I did a random search and I got lucky!

Move No 317 - how to impersonate a chicken! :D :D

The move can be found more easily by using its ID, 476, rather than 317 "next record" button clicks!

Needless to say this move was based on Lindy-hop!

Move No 317 - how to impersonate a chicken! :D :DI used to do the "flap arms and go cluck-cluck to "Ain't nobody here but us chickens.". It usually got a titter.
Next chorus I huddled down with some more chicken noises - then rose and explained "that time I was a battery hen." - Never got a reaction.
then a pause - "I was thinking of getting one of them to keep my walkman going." That was a complete failure 2/3 attempts, but the third one my partner cracked up to the extent that we had to lead the floor.
End of that experiment.

Wylke3,

How come you haven't posted for so long?
