This is the 11th year that we have been running this weekend of Ceroc events and this year we already have over 350 people registered. There are still places available at the welcome dance on Friday night, the Showcase Spectacular on Saturday night and at the Titanic Ball on Sunday night at Te Papa. International dance stars Jordan Frisbee and Tatiana Mollman, 12 times winners of the World West Coast Swing title, will be performing at both the Showcase and the Ball. This will be your only chance to see YouTube’s most popular dance couple perform in NZ. We also have workshops on Saturday and Sunday being taught by 3 of NZ’s top teaching couples. Vanroe and Naomi from Auckland will be passing on their knowledge on incorporating latin style into our dancing with their Latin Flavour workshop and also wowing us with their Ceroc Signature Moves workshop. Catherine and Royce from Kapi-Hutt will once again be teaching us some brilliant and useful Lifts, Seducers and Drops and of course Adam will be entertaining us with his Styling and Hot n Spicy II workshops – back by popular demand. We have over 200 people coming already from all over NZ – 75 from the South Island, 50 from the central North Island and 75 from north of the Bombays. We already have our full complement of performances for the Showcase Spectacular but if you would still like to perform please do contact us to discuss it. Unfortunately all the workshops that Jordan and Tatiana are teaching are now full but remember that you can still see them at the Showcase and the Ball and they will be there dancing with everyone. Come along and be part of this fun and vibrant weekend – your dancing will never be the same again!

And class nights with freestyle are an ideal place for it. Don’t be afraid to practice things you are not yet perfect at, and actively encourage others who are trying to improve. If you laugh at, mock or gossip about someone who is still trying to work something out you can destroy their confidence to try and ruin the wonderful atmosphere of support and trust that usually exists at Ceroc” A big Thank You to Ceroc Christchurch for this positive tip! .   FEEDBACK WANTED! We are always looking at ways to make things better and to provide you with the classes and the atmosphere that you want to be a part of, so if there is anything you don’t like or if there is anything you want more of, we would love to know! There are many ways that you can provide us with feedback! You can approach Lisa or myself and have a chat, and you can do the same with all of our teachers, alternatively you can send us an e-mail or even drop a note in the suggestions box at the front desk.
