Cercoc’ing at the Spadesborne Suite
What a Bromsgrovian hedonistic treat!
Thursday nights they all flock
For that dancing pleasure they call Ceroc!
Starters sit and wonder why they came
Not wanting to stamp on feet and get the blame
Old hands move effortlessly round not aware of the nervous glances
From ‘Newbie’s’ whilst watching the dances
The ‘Professionals’ put on their shoes: be it high heel or spats
Towels on chairs and refreshing drinks on hand to sip between tracks
Now the new people’s hearts are racing
Not sure what to make of this fresh hell they are facing
It’s Beginners Moves and ‘Dancing Queen’ Debs appears
‘Hello Bromsgrove!’ she utters with a microphone headset just like Britney Spears
It’s begun, new Women now faced with a stranger to which they place their trust
And new Men trying not to look down at their opposing partner’s bust
It all settles down thanks to Debs, shimmering and moving, never out of breath
‘Take hold of the left hand and step back’… Newbie’s grip on like grim death
The steps are repeated over and over aiding the brain, that most delicate tool
Of course it’s now plotting its revenge making new people think they’re a fool.
And forgetting right from their left, armjives and octopuses become a sight
Like a very bad orgy, limbs are being placed into positions that aren’t quite right
But no-one is moaning, shouting or having a fit
You see we’ve all been there, feeling clumsy and awkward in short, a bit of a tit
The evening continues, freestyle begins
Newbie’s are loving it, dancing, watching, all have big grins
Performing moves, remembering hard, trying to pay heed
They are DANCING! Ok not quite Fred or Ginger, but less like Frankenstein on speed
The last song is played that’s it, time to stop
Lights come on and the feet are fit to drop
Sit down, take stock, you’ve had a go
It really wasn’t that terrible and do you know
That’s how I started, nervous and shy
Ceroc is the drug that I now try
So forget your cocaine, your amphetamines and Crack
Cercoc’ing at the Spadesborne Suite is good for the soul, if not your lower back!
