Anyone heard about this? (http://www.london.gov.uk/bigdance/)

C&P from Website......

Big Dance is a week long celebration of dance across London and the UK and will involve a huge range of dance events across the city.

From 15 to 23 July 2006, it will be time to get up and dance!

Big Dance is all about fun and throughout the week, there will be plenty of chances to get dancing. As well as events from London’s top dance organisations and theatres, there will be plenty of smaller events and open days around the capital, as the many smaller, local dance clubs and schools throw open their doors to the public.

Big Dance ends with 'Dancing in the street' a spectacular weekend of dance in Trafalgar Square, including the biggest mass choreography Nelson has ever seen!

This sounds as though it is going to be BIG!!!!

Word from ceroc is that there is going to be big groups of people from all different dance types learning the same routine over the next few weeks and dancing it together in Trafalgar Square.

Alex and Emma from Ceroc Central is putting together the ceroc part of the routine and selections are going to be happening from ceroc for the dancers who can pick up all the dance types from the routine, the quickest. :respect:

Bedford Thursday night Michaela announces St. Neots freestyle the next night (Friday) and says that the fun class will be "not Ceroc".

Friday night Michaela says that the fun class is part of Emma's routine for the "Big Dance". It looks like a sort of street line dance to me.

This seems to me a unique opportunity to give the nation some idea of what Ceroc is, and the message is being muddied.

I have no issue with the quality if the routine, it just seems to me that Ceroc should be promoting Ceroc, and only Ceroc, as such an evnt.

On the contrary, it seems to me that if Ceroc people are willing to promote dance for the sake of it, and to appeal to the public at large, that is something to be applauded. As opposed to pushing the interests of a franchise.

I have no issue with the quality if the routine, it just seems to me that Ceroc should be promoting Ceroc, and only Ceroc, as such an evnt.The Big Dance routine is not just Ceroc - it includes salsa, flamenco, Irish, street, bhangra, swing and other types of dancing, with each group involved doing something really cool in their own style and something basic in all the other styles. That's why it's such a fun event to be part of, and why, for once, it isn't about advertising Ceroc, it's about bringing Ceroc dancers into contact with some other fab amateur dancers and all being ambassadors for dance in general. The message is to dance, not to Ceroc, so it is not being muddied at all - just given a great and varied presentation so there will be something for everyone.

I think it's great that you're going to be taught one of the sections, although I'd probably not have chosen the street section, as it isn't so much about moves as attitude and might not go down that well in a Ceroc class, but good luck to you all, and to Michaela teaching it.

The Big Dance routine is not just Ceroc - it includes salsa, flamenco, Irish, street, bhangra, swing and other types of dancing, with each group involved doing something really cool in their own style and something basic in all the other styles. I now believe that what Michaela was teaching in the fun class was "something basic" in one of the other styles, and have no problem with that.

That's why it's such a fun event to be part of, and why, for once, it isn't about advertising Ceroc, from a business perspective it is always about marketing.

it's about bringing Ceroc dancers into contact with some other fab amateur dancers and all being ambassadors for dance in general. Promoting dance in general is good for modern jive.

The message is to dance, not to Ceroc, :devil: I think you might have phrased that better.

so it is not being muddied at all - just given a great and varied presentation so there will be something for everyone.I had the impression, which now seems to have been the wrong one, that what Michaela taught was part of the Ceroc section. I doubt that the BBC will show the whole thing. I was worried that the BBC might pick that clip and present that as "Ceroc".
One of my achievements was to write a software package called MMPLOT, which sold around the world at £900 a time. It allowed a printed circuit board drilling machine to be used as an engraver and a router. This was a unique selling point for our machine. On a very expensive exhibition stand we had the machine proudly engraving the company name. A passer by stopped to look.
Salesman:"Are you interested in a Micromat?"
Man: "No, I am looking for a drilling machine".
Similar conversations happened at least twice more. Since then clarity in the marketing message has been on of my hobby horses. I did not want there to be any chance of N hundred thousand people believing that Ceroc was a sort of line dance.
I applaud the promotion of dance in general, it is just that I want Ceroc to get the most out of the opportunity. As long as the Ceroc section is all Ceroc, I am content.
I expect the BBC to cherry pick the clips to show. If it were me in charge I would want to present Ceroc as a dance that anybody can do, so I would want to avoid the spectacular. So I would want to concentrate not on what was being done, but who was doing it, and aim for the BBC to pick Cerocers for the human interest stories. I would try to get celebrities into the Ceroc team, and aim for the "ests". biggest, tallest, oldest, cheekiest, ... I would try to present Ceroc as a dance that anyone can enjoy. If a wheelchair Cerocer, or a blind one wanted to be in the team, I would have them. I believe in milking opportunity. I would pair a tall guy with a short girl, any thing to capture the cameras attention. I guess that I have a bit of a politicians mind. Do the right thing because it is the right thing, but still be thinking "How can I profit ...".

I did the bit at lunchtime where people all over the country did the same line dance. There were about 100 people at the Malvern Theatres.

The local BBC deliberately didn't play any music between teaching us the parts of the routine, as they didn't want anyone advertising there own dance organisations :confused:

I've just watched the first Big Dance part and Ceroc got a pretty good mention/chunk of camera time with lots of Tessalicious and Emma P. :grin: It seems like a fun idea ... but could it possibly be somewhere other than Trafalgar Square? I'm really fed up with seeing the place not as a wonderful open space for tourists and locals ... more as a mess of scaffolding, portaloos and trucks. :sick:

A really impressive event, which I am sure has done Ceroc some good, and a lot for dance in general. It was good to see some familiar faces, and Emma did mention "Ceroc" at the start of the first show. Well done everybody.


Loads of publicity for Ceroc, but I didn't spot anyone actually dancing it in the Big Dance :(I missed a bit of both shows. Was there "loads of publicity" on TV in the bits I missed?

We had about 7 clips of dancers preparing for the show on Anglia TV news, but no mention of Ceroc. Does anybody know if Ceroc made it onto any regional TV during the week?

I saw loads of dancers from the SW London Venues :clap: in the crowd behind Zoe Ball, (Riaz, Toni, Ruth, George, Adrian) but struggled to see them dancing during the World record event, they just didn't get the camera on them much. :sad:

Wicked show though :respect: , gutted i didn't take part it looked a great afternoon.

WELL DONE TO ALL THE CEROCERS THAT TOOK PART!!!!!:cheers: :clap:

I watched it and was very impressed with the fact that someone had the idea to do it, what a great ad for all dance, what a long way dance and TV have come in the last 3 or 4 years eh? Congrats to all who took part, most of all they all had great big smiles on their faces and showed what a great hobby / pastime / lifestyle choice :whistle: it is.

BUT, I'm afraid that YET AGAIN I was disgusted with the camera editing!!!!:angry: :angry: there were obviously loads of cameras on site in and amongst the dancers and at high vantage points but they didn't stay with each one nearly long enough, the switching in and out of different shots was horrible! I would have enjoyed it sooo much more if they had lingered even just 30 seconds on each shot but often it was more like 15. And did we really need to be reminded that there are columns in Trafalgar Square? Surely the arty shots could have been foregone in favour of more time on the dancers?

Dear BBC....disgusted of North Burnside.:wink:

And Limpy Tink is taller than Wayne Sleep! :blush:

LOL! He was rather short :blush: - unlike Zoe Ball who was stunningly tall in her heels and sooo lovely to all of us in the square. As for Arlene (however you spell it!) I give her 2!

Having moaned through 5 weeks of rehearsals and wondering what the hell we had got ourselves into!! :eek: (made bearable and even enjoyable by the energy an humour of Tim - team leader of "the Putney lot!") and the disappointment of not being to go to W.S.M - I have to say We had a fabulous time!

We started our rehearsals in the square on friday, from 4.30 and rehearsed trough until 9.15 (which was why Riaz, Tess & myself were all a bit tired and dazed at Ashtons! :blush: ). Then had to be back there for 2.30 yesterday :sick:. All credit to the bbc and all of the organisers, for they looked after us all :yeah: (and there were hundreds of us!!) really well; storage rooms and changing areas, endless supplies of rolls, muffins, fruit & water and personal chararones.

What we hadn't realised, is that we would all have ring side seats and form the audience, so we were able to see and be part of everything that was going on :clap: It was great to see so many of "the ceroc lot" getting themselves seen on TV (even if they were caught wearing a sylish rain bag - RIAZ! - what some people will do to get on camera :D ) The rain came down (luckily only for 5 mins!) just as the 2nd part of the show opened - but it only added to the determination of all dancers (and spectators) to pull together a great show :worthy:

I can see that unless you know where to look (during the record break attempt - or the 8 minute routine!) you would not see anyone you know, as the camera does move around very quickly :sick: (but then it was a faster than average routine for many of the dance styles). However - looking back at it on video, I could recognise where myself & Spice 'n' easy were dancing, and it is a great memory to hold on to, as we def felt we were amongst many friends from all backgrounds, coming together with one common love.... dance!:yeah:

A special thanks must go out to Emma and Alex for pulling us all together and getting the team leaders (Tim :clap: George, Ruth & Lisa) to get us all into shape!!:wink: but also must not forget Val Forsey for all of the behind the scenes organisation (so sorry you & Dave couldn't actually take part - oh how I would have loved to see Dave doing the Irish!!:rofl: )

Finally a big thanks to Mike & Linda Ellard for coming out to support us all day yesterday :hug: and also for the champagne reception and kind - verging on sentimental words you said at Hammersmith yesterday :respect:

The big dance was all about people with a passion and love for dance and however you look at it - there should be more of this in the world at the moment! :yeah:

PS. A special thanks to you too Riaz for being my partner throughout - you were fab as always hun - Toni. Xxx :hug:

Couldn't agree more. After many, many weeks of hard work, practice sessions galore in the sweltering heat and a tear or two, it finally all came together yesterday and :clap: IT WAS FANTASTIC:clap: . I am still on a high.

The atmosphere was electric, the dancers and all the costumes were amazing and I was so proud to be part of Ceroc on the day. I just wish to say well done to all that took part and to all the other dancers promoting their dance style :respect: :clap:

Big thanks to Tim, our team leader from Putney, Emma and Alex, Val and Dave and all the other Team leaders for putting together a great routine and for training us up :waycool: :worthy: . And an extra special thanks to my wonder dance partner, Limpy Tink :flower: whose smile managed to keep us going throughout the whole thing and helped to perform at our best for all that was watching :hug:

Hope you all enjoyed it and roll on the next one :cheers:

Wow - what an atmosphere - I was there, standing in the Square for 6 hours in support all you guys and dance in general. (And especially my daughter Tessalicious of course).

You could tell by all the happy faces of dancers and spectators, just what an amazing buzz dancing of any description brings to ones life. But what is so good about modern jive and Ceroc is that it is accessible to young and old alike. And enthusiasm for the dance and the music brings with it a social circle of friendships that is unimaginable in other contexts and walks of life. Long may it prosper.

So I want to say a BIG THANK YOU for all the effort put in by the Ceroc team who did the most amazing job. They didn't have the limelight, which was a shame, but I'm so glad that so many familiar faces made it on to the live TV broadcast.

Congratulations on being part of the World Record!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Loads of publicity for Ceroc, but I didn't spot anyone actually dancing it in the Big Dance :(Each dance was supposed to represented by three iconic moves. There was a brief flash just before the swing moves that looked like a MJ turn and dip, but I my attention was diverted, and I was left wondering "was that it?". The problem is that they were trying to cram enough dances in to get the record, so each "dance" would have had its time reduced to the minimum. I did not recognise the dancers doing those moves, they were not in the Ceroc team colours. I did not see the any of the Ceroc team that I recognised during the record attempt, but things were happening as I tried to watch..

Can anybody tell me, were the ballroom dancers on the stage doing the record breaking routine? Was everybody else doing ballroom steps at the same time that they were being shown?

I also wonder how the three iconic moves were categorised by the Guiness book of records people. Was it "Ceroc", "Modern Jive", something else?

When Emma was asked what dance she did, she replied "Ceroc". I wonder how that sat with the BBC producers. The BBC as an organisation does not seem to be entirely allergic to "Ceroc" as a tradename, we have some excellent write-ups. :respect: to those involved.

Head office does seem to be succeeding at promoting Ceroc. We in Bedford have acquired several new members as a result of this promo, and the ripples have spread via here to other franchises.

Talking to Emma at Hammersmith after the Big Dance, she said when Zoe Ball had asked her what dance style she did, Emma was planning on saying a lot more about Ceroc and it being a modern jive, but Zoe Ball took the microphone away from her before she had time to 'do the sell'. I think that she got the Ceroc name out there though. Well Done Emma!! :clap: :clap: :flower:

Unfortunately, i think that was the problem. They didn't want people to advertise their organisations. Maybe if Emma had said Modern Jive instead of Ceroc then she would have been given the opportunity to say more about it. (she could have still got the Ceroc plug in at the end :D )

Looks like you had to be a part of it. I thought the telly programme was a pointless load of tosh. I can honestly say, I didn't see any dancing (well nothing for more than a split second). Some of those interviews had me cringing and I could really slap the cameramen.

(she could have still got the Ceroc plug in at the end :D )Or maybe we would just have heard "Modern Jive". Where the end was was not in Emma's power, and BBC interviewers are very well trained to watch for a plug coming up. If Emma was only to get one word out "Ceroc" would have been my choice.

Some of my other questions are directed towards digging to see if the BBC producers subsequently deliberately avoided the Ceroc dancers, and anyone else with a commercial point to make.

Seems a daft thing to say to me, why not say "Modern Jive"? Anyone looking for classes or further information is going to struggle to not find mention of Ceroc in their search and it propogates the myth further - that "Ceroc" is a unique dance form itself.

OTOH if she was only to be allowed 1 second "Ceroc" was the word I wanted to hear. Getting the brand name known is the vital first step. Where I think Ceroc the organisation failed is in not having some sort of badge, sow on or clip on, with a very recognisable logo. The two dancers in the 5 point Star configuration would have been my choice.

What is your position on Tattoos?

No advertising then, except perhaps for the "Jiving Lindy Hoppers"?

O.K. so one of their members was attempting a Guiness World Record, so no advertising unless its for Guiness?

On a day promoting healthy activity, they promote Guiness?

BTW Nov 9th is Guiness World Records day

http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com

Oddly enough if I search on dance there I don't find any of the world records achieved on the day, but is anybody up for an attempt at "The longest dance Party"?
