Reputation Total: 10  |  Ceroc or not Ceroc ? So, having told a couple of friends about my new hobby/addiction (Ceroc, not anything more dangerous !) I have been greeted with replies like "Oh yes, like on the BBC1 segment". Not being a great watcher of TV I hadn't seen the thing, but being bedridden with a cold (feeling sorry for me yet ?!) yesterday I saw it. I think I noticed an octopus among the moves - but can anyone confirm whether or not it is actually Ceroc ? It would appear to be far more elegant than anything I could ever muster ! |

The only real modification was to slow the set of hand movements where the man takes the hands from his right to his left shoulder so that they both fell on a whole (Jive) beat, rather than have one one a half (Jive) beat.

Reputation Total: 30 | The guy in red leading the class teaches salsa with lambada body styling (lambada was his background and he markets the class as funky-salsa) at Pineapple studios and is amazing. Was the UK Salsa champ 3 years in a row. Shame you don't get to see any good dancing in the clip though. Last edited by JamesGeary : 6th-April-2004 at 09:19 AM. |
