I was searching for the joy of partner-dancing.
After trying classes in ballroom and Latin, I found my way to Ceroc (a.k.a ‘Modern Jive’) which could be best described as ‘free-form partner-dancing’.
This led to many amazing things… including dancing in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
I was very fortunate that, after studying Ceroc Dancing for years, I had the opportunity to choreograph and dance routines with some truly great people and dancers.These routines won many national-level competitions.
There are basically four categories of Ceroc dancing;:
- Showcase routines (one couple only)
- Teams routines with hand-picked dancers
- Group routines open to any student who wanted to learn.
- Freestyle – improvised dancing at the social and competitive levels
These routines are choreographed for and performed by amateur dancers doing it just for the joy of dancing.
If you only watch one routine, I hope you’ll watch this showcase choreographed and performed with Enza Burgio:
