How did you get started ?
Hi all,
I was wondering how you all got started / introduced to Ceroc (or dancing in general)...
Were you actively looking for a dance class, was your arm twisted by a very enthusiastic friend?:nice:
Post your story (short or long) here...
Personally, I first got the bug when I saw the film "Dirty Dancing", and I thought one day I'll find a class and learn.
It took me a couple of years, but eventually, a friend mentionned that a Jive class in Glasgow needed extra men, and I thought, why not... I got hooked pretty quickly (one night a week, then 2 then 3 and eventually 5 nights a week...). 2 years later, I started teaching at the first Ceroc night in Glasgow. The rest is history:wink:
Franck.
How did you start dancing Ceroc?
Endlessly nosy, me. :nice:
I first heard of Ceroc when some people from Bromley came into the school I was teaching at and did a class with my group of 9 year-olds. I was immediately desperate to try it out myself, but was too busy surviving in the blackboard jungle (:tears:...poor little me!!!).
Four or so years later, newly free from the teaching profession (hurrah!) I wanted to dance. I'd forgotten all about Ceroc, but saw a car sticker and did a search on the web. That was six months ago....and every now and again I think about how I could have ended up at a tap dancing class......:what:
How about the rest of you? Someone must have a better story than that!

Don't know about a better story but I got involved when my friend Sandra suggested we try something different for a regular night out. The last time she did this we ended up at a belly dancing class! never did make the jewel:tears: Anyway we went along not having a clue what it was about and after the first hour I almost ran out the class but by the end of the night we were both hooked.:grin:
:cheers:

Nothing to stop you wearing your jewel and flimsy veils at the next Ceroc party night, Sandy.:devil: :wink:
How I started French Jive
I started being interested in partner dancing three years ago. One year ago I moved to Munich for 6 months. Since I didnÕt know lots of people there I went to some ÒStammtischÓ. A ÒStammtischÓ is something very common in Germany, it is a regular event (usually in the evening) with a specific topic. Everybody who would like to come and speak about the topic is welcome. I first went to a French Stammtisch (IÕm French), it was really friendly, but I thought ÒWhat a pity, IÕm in Germany but I speak my own language. LetÕs try an English Stammtisch, it wonÕt improve my German, but I need to practice my English as wellÓ. I found on the Internet a German-English Association. They have a whole program of interesting events, one of them is called French Jive.ThatÕs how I got addicted. As soon as I moved to Aberdeen in April, I went to the Ceroc classes, which is another name for the same dance.

I think the best place for that image is firmly in your imagination John! But will definitely be at the next Aberdeen party, seem to have got a bit hooked on them.
Will be going to Dundee on Wednesday, pity you won't be there but I'm sure it will be the first of many visits.
:cheers:
