Reputation Total: 1692  | Hiya It's not really that scary at Peterculter Miss Moll (Can I call you Mad for short?). Most of the people there are nice and friendly (noticeable exception to this is the guy who's the DJ there). And I'm sure you'll get to know people pretty quickly. You'll want to get there about 7:15 to get your drink, and get ready for the beginners class at 7:30, where either Lisa or Lorna will take you through 4 beginners moves. Then there will be about 30 minutes of dancing until the intermediate class, and until you're ready to do that, you can join the refresher class run by some experienced dancers. There's no course in the classes, so you can start as soon as you like (Tuesday?). And when you get there at 7:15, come and say hello. I'm the bloke on the stage, behind the CD player  Steve |

 }, and can definetly say that it's a good atmosphere with good music, good dancers and a good floor.What to expect; there are generally a few "warm up" tracks played at the start of the evening when the floor is clear - you can watch some of the dancers and get an idea of what to look forward to{  don't let that put you off  }. The class starts in rows of couples {loose term - some ladys learn the man's moves and very, very few are actually "couples"} The partners get rotated throught the class and there is generally a small handfull of first timers, so you won't feel isolated.The Lorna{/Lisa} will go through four moves and joins them into a routine to dance. After the class there is some "freestyle", followed by some micro-workshops for beginners while the intermediate class is going on. Then there is more freestyle, then they stop the music and kick us out.  To echo Steve (tramp); each class is different and there is no start/end or progression, so you can start or continue any time without thinking you've missed something. Come and ask me for a dance (if I don't get a chance to ask you); Most folks know me and can point me out. Later Gadget

It is very comforting to know that I am part of such a friendly and sociable 'club' that is ceroc. This thread is a great advert for the dance and the people that practice it.

Im not meaning to be pedantic but its dancers in general that are friendly and sociable. motto:'Want to dance, will travel, will help others dance' Now I appear to be the sort of person who denies being something in a post whilst still managing to be the thing i denied . c'est la vie.Its quiet today isn't it ? Somebody put the kettle on.

Reputation Total: 1692 | Glad to hear that you enjoyed yourself. Sorry I didn't get a chance to come talk to you after you said hello at the start. Next time you come along on a Tuesday, come grab me for a dance sometime!! If you know what you like to dance to, I'll make sure we dance to that track (hey, being the DJ has got to have some perks!!). Steve |

Reputation Total: 1516 | erm... it was one of the busiest nights I've seen at Culter; there were a lot of new faces to dance with, and I'm sorry to say that I didn't introduce myself to many {and even worse, didn't ask anyone's name :sorry} ...So I don't know if I upheld my promise for a dance  But since you will be returning, I'm sure that we will dance again.

Reputation Total: 1692 | Unfortunately, I can't make it on Thursday (I actually live in Dundee). But I'm sure that you'll have a great time, and if you do ever make it out to Peterculter on a Tuesday night, I'll look forward to meeting you. Steve

 I will come up again sometime - always enjoy dancing in Aberdeen. But not tonight, as I'm DJing in Perth. See you at the competition this weekend? Steve

Reputation Total: 1692 | Was going to be going there - was going to be DJing. But it was announced on Tuesday that it was cancelled - apparently, the hotel got double booked or something. Don't know if Franck will sort something out when he gets back from holiday on Saturday or not... Steve
