Thread: Ceroc - Business Enterprise or "Gift to the World"?

    I'm certain there are others but I think the 2 above are enough to prove my case
    I was refering to local Leroc class that expected beginners to sit out during the intermediate class.

    If my contribution to the MJ scene is to introduce new music and improve the structure of LOCAL classes then thats fine by me but perhaps I should not discuss it on the forum.

    James' skin tone aside...why does it have to be an either or situation? (other that the fact it makes excellent argumentative threadage... )

    Yes Ceroc/MJ is a business, but the few people I know involved in the business side of MJ tend to be highly evangelical about dancing as well as business-oriented. Personally I don't see a conflict. Indeed I'd suggest you have to be fairly smitten by dancing/passing on the dancing bug to get involved in the business side in the first place. Don't know of any MJ millionaires....

    Don't let me stop you Mr Lizard. The Forum is all about discussion and debate. The thing is that statements will be placed on the anvil of debate and beaten with a very large hammer by other 'blacksmiths' until you hardly recognise your original premise. You will be quoted and mis-quoted, but isn't that part of the fun? And throughout it all you need to maintain your sense of humour

    Yeah, that *is* the obvious answer....tho I guess the money we are assuming he has came from selling the business...but do we begrudge him it? Not me - the guy had a fantastic idea and sold it. Good for him. And was he an evangelist? I have no personal information but am prepared to bet he was.

    I think he's worth every penny too. The reason I believe he's made at least a million is that I've heard he's considering starting his own church in New Zealand. That sounds expensive.

    And evangelical.

    Not James (if what I'm told is true) but there are at least 2 to 3 franchisees in the UK who have made serious dosh ... and why not if they've put in all the hard work.

    I think it veers more to a business slant which is a shame...thats my experience of Hammersmith,anyway.. "roll 'em in", but it's in better shape then the Bristol LeRoc scene at present..no doubt.!

    (Scotland seems different but never been...)
