I assumed the Back to Basics competition was going to be just like CerocX. But I was wrong. :eek:
I happened to be looking at the rules tonight, and I'm baffled by some of the moves! It looks like Sherif's been raiding the Ceroc Australia syllabus.
What's a CJ? I remember dancing it many years ago in a class with Nicky Haslett, but can I remember what it was? It's driving me mad!Quote:
The permitted moves which can be danced in this category are:
CJ (Walk), Accordion, Accordion Spin, First Move Check, Pull through, Neck Break-through, I-turn U-turn, First Move Hook, Blind Break-through, Wellington Return, Sway, Catapult, Loophole (Octopus), Basket, Shoulder Pass, Man Break-through (Change places), First Move, Yo-Yo, Aerial Yo-Yo, Lady Spin, Underarm Walk-Through, American Spin, Throwaway, First Move Man Turn, Neck Break, Comb, 1/2-Windmill, Windmill, First Move Flick Spin, Kiwi Comb, Clever, First Move Lunge, Push Pulls (Arm Jive), Push Pull Push Spin, Octopus, Swizzle Stick, Pretzel, Back Pass, Conan (Arch), Left to Right Hand Pass, Figure of 8, Hip Spin, Wurlitzer, First Move Stop Spin
I thought an I-turn You-Turn was another term for a Figure of 8, but Figure of 8 is listed separately, so I must be mistaken. What's the difference?
And a Clever? Is that a Cleaver? And if so, is it the 2-handed Ceroc Cleaver, or the old style LeRoc Cleaver that's a variation on a R-R Return? They are 2 completely different moves.
Ceroc X is a fab idea, allowing competitors to make the best of a limited set of moves. What's the point of Back To Basics? There's more moves in there than the majority of men put into a standard freestyle dance!
(p.s. I'm not entering. A pal called me tonight to see if I could help identify some of the more obscure moves. As you can see I was somewhat stumped at some. Anyway, good luck to everyone competing and judging!)
