Modern Jive & Ceroc
Across the blog modern jive and Ceroc are used interchangeably, both meaning the same dance style. Ceroc is the brand name for a modern jive organisation, while independents use the term modern jive. I also refer to other dance genres on occasion, because there’s more out there to reference, many people dance more than one style and we can all learn from different styles of dance.
Hints and tips to get you more confident at the beginner stage. We all had to start somewhere.

Go line dancing
Line dancing is my new love. I started intending to use it to get fit and get back to Ceroc after a (yet another) long break. But I’m really enjoying it, and it’s interesting to see how different it is to all the improvised partner dancing I’m used to. So I’m building up my experience, and posts on here.
Come back and find out more about how it’s going, what’s new, and let me know if you’re a line dancer with questions you want answering.
You can find all my line dancing posts via this page, but don’t forget to check out the main blog page for other thoughts and tips on dance.
