Re: Dancing by numbers....

Ceroc run dance classes, and they give their pupils a chance to practice what they have learned. As had been complained about incessently they do not teach very much interpretation, hitting the breaks, allowing the women their space in a normal class, and they are in no obligation to give us the opportunity to practice those things. In practice they do give us some more adventurous music.

That is the system that got Ceroc where it is today, and us where we are now. The majority is not where we are now, but back where we were, thinking there is no dance class that we would like, or that we could not do it if we tried. I think that ceroc should maintain the mission that it has shown it can accomplish, teach newcomers to dance, and expand their network to give the same opportunity to others.

If it is deficient anywhere, IMO, it is in running enough workshops and freestyles to give the more advanced dancers a greater opportunity. It should keep the normal class format just about as it is, but giving it small tweaks this way and that and see exactly how those small changes pan out.
