Anyway isnt 'Glasgow Jive' much older than Ceroc in the UK ? |
The point I was trying to make is that Ceroc was FIRST .... so therefore it ia 'alleged' that the other styles/associations copied Ceroc. Interstingly enough the Godfather of LeRoc in the UK (sorry forgot his name) claims in his book that a young James Cronin came to him with the idea to expand LeRoc ... into what was to become Ceroc. However, my contact who 'was there at the time' suggested that this was not the truth .... allegedly.
So dunno .... if the claim that Ceroc was the first to the market with its own blend of French Jive .,.. then it can rightly claim to be a dance style. The only other association that appears to have any claim would be LeRoc ... and even being in the game the short space I ahve I've seen obvious moves from some LeRoc operations to copy Ceroc ...so who knows the truth ... well unless James himself goes to print ... I doubt we will ever know
