Break Down and Rebuild Moves / Finding Styling Opportunities

This workshop is designed to give some challenge and new concepts for our experienced variations dancers - newer dancers are welcome to participate, but it'll be more of a challenge! For the leaders: we'll look at how to break down a move into parts, and explore what happens if you change them For the followers: we'll look at how to recognise opportunities to influence the dance and add your style - and what to do once you're in that moment For everyone: learning how to pick the key details in moves will help you to learn them faster in class and other workshops

Workshop Moves

We'll be using some of the same moves as a starting point in later workshops, so the workshops can build from them. Make sure you've learned the moves (or brush up on ones you've learned before)

Pausing in Motion

Let's explore flow and pause within our dance. How can we alter the flow of dance through pause and slowing down? How can we find pause within continuous movement and flow? These are the two questions we will be exploring together in this workshop.

Find Your Groove: Mastering Timing & Footwork

Discover how to hear the beat, feel the beat, and move with it. In this interactive workshop you’ll learn to step, roll, and flow through your footwork at single, half and double time — and bring it all together with a partner.

Critique & Afternoon Tea

Get up and dance, and get some feedback from our teachers! Or watch and listen and see what else you can pick up for your own dancing. Tea & Coffee available in the kitchen

Mini-Routine

Learn a cheerful mini routine, with a Christmas taste, for you to perform at our end of year party - and put together all the concepts you would have learnt during the day! Performing is optional, but encouraged

Introduction to Rock'n'Roll

Ready for something a little different? Travis & Mel from Swing That Thing will introduce you to some rock'n'roll. Ceroc is descended from French rock (c'est roc!), so this is a chance to see where some of your favourite moves came from, and how they've changed. There will be some ideas that are quite similar, as well as some new for Ceroc dancers - and exploring new movements is a great way to develop as a dancer!

Social Dancing / Practice Time

The music will be playing, get up and have a dance and put into practice what you've learned - or leave practice until later and just have a boogie to celebrate!

Dinner nearby

Join us for dinner at the Warradale hotel (dinner at your own cost). Let us know if you're coming, so we have numbers to finalise the booking
