Writing an encyclopedia...
One of my hobbies is helping to write Wikipedia... and I wondered if anyone would be interested in having a go?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceroc
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Jive

And, because it's the most important subject on the forum...

Either you missed it, or it is a very responsive site:-

Hipster is also a fashion term from the early 1960s for trousers or a skirt that sits on the hips rather than the waist.

Re: Writing an encyclopedia...
The "Ceroc Modern Jive" folks set it up. Anyone can contribute. The content is copylefted. It's a nice idea and deserves a plug or two here.

Correct you do need to be a member of the Ceroc & Modern Jive Forum to contribute - we were having a lot of spam when first setting up the CerocWiki
