This is a really good plan. Cerocshops are absolutely great for recent beginners. You'll be exhausted at the end, but the intensity is brilliant for imprinting the learning.

I went to three Ceroc classes and no freestyle in the first year and a half of my MJ lifetime.

The first was a normal one, and I was so hopeless that I didn't go back. The second one was a Cerocshop (I was dragged to it) about six months later - I enjoyed it but still couldn't freestyle.

Then the 3rd one was another Cerocshop about six months after the first one. During this one, it clicked, and I started going to weekly classes. Then the obsession started to develop - but how much time did I waste in discouragement???

I so know how bad it can feel in the early days... now you know why I try and get people not to give up in those first few weeks.

But the workshop should be great. Make sure you take your bloke along too, though...
