Yes- I agree with you Floyd. I was at a ceroc class recently where we were taught a mambo move, and another last month where we did some lindy kicks. Ceroc however has cleverly adapted moves from other styles and put them into a simplistic format making it a very accessible dance style. It could be construed as bit synthetic, and I have heard some refer to it as a stepping stone to 'proper' dancing.

I think it is a great concept thought. I am not really bothered whether or not it's a dance form in it's own right, but I think it deserves to be after x(?) years.

James Cronin... he must be well bolted!
