Just some clarity for any Aussie girls new to the forum.
This strange "Hipsters" thing....

No, it is not a shop, you will not be able to buy your low-cut trousers there...

The Tramp's 'offer' is always 'special'

In noticed on one of the aussie ceroc or jive websites 'rueda'. Is this modern jive in a circle with partner swapping, or salsa in a circle with partner swapping.

It was Ceroc Rueda, Ren (one of our top corrie bods) took the concept of Rueda (Salsa done in a circle with partner swapping) and corried a "Ceroc style" Rueda for 6 couples [using Ceroc moves adapted to be able to regularly swap partners] which we performed at the ball, then put it in the champs (for a bit of fun only).

He then offered it up as a "free for all to learn" routine for the Ceroc Australia students.

I was fortunate enough to be asked to take part in the original for the ball and the comps, it was great fun and a good laugh.

When it was taught to all, it was soon aparent that noone can "hide" in a circle, especially when you are swapping partners, so it was a sure fire way to ensure everyone came up to the same level (no hiding at the back)

I saw you perform this at the Champs, Martin, and I have been watching it in more detail on the video recently. It looks fantastic

Thanks Divissima

Ren is a very inventive choreographer, he also corried the last routine of the champs which I was also in, the "Bring it on" team, where the girls wore cheerleaders outfits.

I have done a fair bit of "original salsa rueda" so it was fun to dance the same type of thing to Ceroc moves.
