Ceroc London runs classes around the capital - I went to this one at Muswell Hill. Ceroc is a way of dancing, described as a bit like Jive and Salsa, but with a style all of its own.
It's daunting at first - you're trying to memorise some quite complex dance steps, changing partners every few minutes. But it's amazing what you can achieve in an evening - with friendly and expert coaching from the tutors I put all the steps together and was dancing well enough to enjoy the freestyle at the end.
The hall was full of people, from total beginners to advanced dancers, but everyone was friendly. Even though I knew a limited number of steps and wasn't much good I had plenty of partners.
Great fun, good exercise and very sociable. read more
