Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

A beginners' group class is the easiest start, teaching posture, timing and a few steps before joining them up. Ceroc itself is modern jive rather than ballroom, so ask about dedicated ballroom sessions if that is your aim.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a popular first ballroom dance for its steady rhythm, with the foxtrot another gentle option. A ballroom teacher can suggest the best starting point for you.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is easy to begin, resting on one repeating basic step. If you enjoy the partner rotation at a Ceroc night, you will likely take to salsa's basics quickly.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, salsa welcomes complete beginners, and the same is true of the modern jive taught here. No experience is assumed and everyone starts from the same steps.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Line dancing typically uses the grapevine, kick-ball-change, heel and toe touches, shuffles and simple turns. These building blocks recur across many dances.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Short four-wall dances with a repeating sequence are the easiest introduction, as the pattern returns on each wall. A beginner class usually starts there.
