Moves? I thought that folk had moved away from teaching moves and now teach concepts and ideas that will help your dancing - not just perform moves.
Sometimes, you have a great idea under the shower. For me tonight, this was just as I found a new move, and after reading this thread . I just love it!
Concept:
- Every year, the Ceroc Scotland forum hosts a competition where non-teachers post a routine of 4 moves (demo + teaching) -with preferably original moves they have created- on the site via a hosted video site (eg: YouTube)
- A poll system is used and people vote for the best routines
- The winning routines are filmed by their creators in a studio and compiled on a DVD
- The DVD is sold in the Ceroc catalogue and profits after production costs are deduced go to Comic Relief
Details on how it works and how everyone wins:
Contributors win because:
- They can initially film at home, easily, on low quality with amateur video, prett much for free
- They win a free Ceroc weekender if their video is selected, during which they will film their routine and explanation
- They have their move registered and classified (they should even be allowed to name it!) in the official list of Ceroc moves
- They become a little part of MJ history without having to dedicate their life to it
The Ceroc franchise wins because:
- They get new moves that make sense, look good and are not just the fruit of some teachers' week-end get-together malarkey
- They can easily film the DVD in parallel to the recording of the week-ender
- Tehy increase their visibility as a global brand by getting closer to the BBC
- They have a repeatable yearly format
- Thay will gain a lot of visibility / marketing for a relatively small budget and a few freebies. No doubt they would get a spot on the Comic Relief night. And then a judge stool on Strictly
Modern Jive wins because:
- The knowledge sharing raises, so the standard raises
- The visibility of the style rises
I'm happy for Ceroc to pick it up. If they don't want it, it can easily be done as non-branded MJ and some of us could get together and do it. I've been working on a move called the Scooby-Snack, this is the way to make it world famous!
