You have been going to a Ceroc (modern jive)
lesson at one of the venues that Ceroc Xtra does. You’re starting to get the
bug for dancing and now want to dance more. This will be going to more classes
so that you improve quicker. You may be thinking where else can I dance???, What

4.
What
is a freestyle??? When can I do one???
Freestyle is not a class but like in classes
you get a chance to dance with lots of people. Men can ask the women and women
can ask the men. Freestyle is an event where no matter how you good you are
everyone dances with everyone. You can be a complete beginner to an expert. I recommend
that you have done about 3 classes before going to a freestyle. You know what sorts
of moves are likely to be done if you are a lady or you know some moves if you
are a man. The event last 4 hours and usually starts at 8pm. You can arrive at any
time you wish to. The first time you go to one you may find it very overwhelming
or exciting. After doing one you may want to do as many as you can get your
hands on. I will try to keep this blog updated with the list of freestyles.

I
have been doing the classes and going to the freestyles for a while now and I feel
that I have learnt everything that I can from them. Is there anything else I can
do to improve myself???
For those who are past beginners but not
ready for intermediates there is sometimes a workshop put on called beginners
plus. This is all to do with bridging the gap between beginners and
intermediate. This is done by taking the beginners moves and extending the move
to an intermediate level.
For those who want to become great
intermediate dancers there are intermediate workshops. These tend to have one
thing that is being focused on and expanding that.
For those who are looking to have various
classes on lots of different things such as body movement, dips and drops and floor
movement etc. then there is Ceroc weekenders.
For more information on workshops and when and
where they will be held please speak to Chris Baker at one of the venues above.
