I seem to recall making this point in a previous thread (Organization or dance style) when others were making remarks about "cowboys" I wholeheartedly Agree with PeterL's point that as long as events are not on the same night, then they are not competing, and if the musical content is vastly different, it offers an alternative, or indeed more choice.
I would doubt that anyone would be foolhardy enough to try to compete with Ceroc, certainly in Scotland, nor would I think they would want to. I think the main motive is to provide an occasional alternative, which can only be a good thing, as too much of one thing can become boring. I know for a fact that organisers of most alternative events, when asked by people where they can find regular jive classes, point them in the direction of Ceroc.(I can only talk about Scotland as I am not familiar with the situation elsewhere in the UK)
