Ceroc Scotland runs its Perth classes at a hotel ballroom in the city centre, teaching the partner dance known as Ceroc. It is aimed at adults who want a sociable, welcoming night of dancing with no need to bring a partner. Anyone nervous about starting out on their own will find it especially reassuring.
Dancers describe one of the friendliest venues in the country, with an enthusiastic team who go out of their way to make people feel welcome. Regulars mention rotating through many partners so nobody sits out for long, plus enjoyable tea dances that add to the sense of community.
These dance classes in Perth centre on Ceroc, a modern, jive-based partner dance that is quick to pick up and needs no previous experience. As part of the wider range of dance lessons in Perth, sessions teach clear moves that build into flowing routines, with partners swapping regularly through the evening. It offers a lively alternative to ballroom dancing in Perth or salsa classes in Perth for those wanting something modern and social.
Newcomers are looked after warmly, and because everyone dances with lots of different people you will not be stuck at the side. Wear comfortable clothes and smooth-soled shoes that let you turn, and bring water; some people bring dedicated dance shoes once they are hooked.
Classes are held at a hotel ballroom in central Perth, easy to reach by the city's usual routes. It is a convenient spot for dancers coming from across Perth and the surrounding area.
Another fantastic venue where you can learn to dance Ceroc and don’t need to take a partner. Teaching excellent and fabulous tea dances. I attended Fresh weekender this year and it was one of the best dance experiences I’ve had. Ceroc friends are friends for life.— susan stewart
I'm really enjoying Ceroc! I was nervous about going on my own, but everyone is so lovely & everyone dances with as many different people as possible so I'm not sitting down for long. I've got new sparkly dance shoes for all the twirls on the dance floor. Jx 😁— Jennifer Jackson
Friendly, enthusiastic team of people whom always go that extra mile to make you feel welcome. One of the friendliest venues in the country for learning to dance. Would highly recommend to all to give it a go and come along to support the team in Perth.— Kevin Langan
What a fab venue! Large dance floor and air conditioned too. Great weekly dance classes, freestyle and weekend events arranged by Ceroc Perth and the teacher / dance company owner Nicola. Great mix of music for everyone.— Robert Suttie
The simplest way in is a beginner-friendly class where the basics are taught step by step. While this venue specialises in Ceroc, a graded social class is a good general starting point for any partner dancing.
Many beginners start with an easy-going social style before tackling stricter ballroom forms. Ceroc is a popular first partner dance because it is quick to learn and very sociable.
Salsa takes some practice for the timing, but the basics come quickly with regular classes. Ceroc offers a similarly approachable route into partner dancing if you prefer.
Yes, salsa classes are built for complete beginners. In the same spirit, Ceroc here welcomes people with no dance background at all.
Line dancing typically uses moves such as the grapevine, step-touch, kicks, turns and forward-and-back steps. Ceroc is a partner dance rather than line dancing, so its moves differ, but both are learned one step at a time.
Short, repetitive line dances are the easiest to begin with. If you are drawn to partner dancing instead, Ceroc's beginner moves are just as accessible.
