INTRODUCING ANTON & LISA DORREEN

 

We have been teaching Ceroc classes since 2001 in Auckland City, North Shore, Tauranga, Tamahere and now Auckland’s Central Suburbs.

 

Lisa has a background in professional dance including ballet, tap, jazz and theatre while Anton has a background in gymnastics and cheerleading! Alongside our regular Ceroc classes we have taught many workshops around New Zealand and Australia at various events, including the Kapi-Hutt Champs, Simply Ceroc Weekends and the Australian Hunter Valley weekend.

 

We enjoy taking private lessons to offer one on one dance training and we have helped people wanting to improve their performance for Ceroc Championships, people wanting to learn to dance for their wedding and those who are simply wanting to take their dancing to the next level!

 

We have competed together in several Ceroc championships over the years and have been fortunate enough to take home a trophy or two including 1st place in the 2003 East & South Champs Open Category and 2nd place in the 2006 East & South Champs doubles category.

 

Anton is still competing today and most recently has placed 3rd in the 2009 East & South Champs Advanced A Category and 1st in the 2009 East & South Champs Showcase Category with his dance partner Angela Metford.

One of our favourite areas of dance is the choreography, teaching and performance of routines. We have been involved in many demonstration and competition routines, with some of our choreography being used in TV3's "So You Think You Can Dance". It was truly amazing to be involved with dancing at such a professional level and being able to help train some of New Zealand's most talented dancers.

Ceroc has its origins in the Second World War, when American GI’s based in France, introduced Jive to the dance scene. Locals adapted it and described it as “C’est le roc”!  Soon called Ceroc, this funky partner dance quickly became popular, and took off in London in the eighties in a big way, and was trendy with the likes of Princess Diana and her Sloane ranger friends.

Our most recent routine choreography took 3rd place in the 2009 East & South Ceroc Champs for both our Beginner Team and Intermediate Team entries!
