Final Balclutha Ceroc Class THIS Friday

 

Regrettably due to the gradual decline of numbers in the Balclutha classes, we are unable to sustain a regular class in Balclutha. This Friday will be our final class night for the time being.

 

We are looking into the option of perhaps running a 5-6 week course in the future should we find there is a demand for it. Your feedback is welcome and encouraged on this topic as we are trying to work in with the seasonal program of the farming community.

 

I would like to thank sincerely Monique, Glen, Sheree and all the other helpers that have contributed to the class up until now. Hopefully we will be able to find a sustainable option in the future.

 

 

South Island

 Ceroc Champs –

Christchurch ANZAC

weekend – April 26th

 – Update

 

The competitor entries have now closed for the champs, and it is shaping up to be a fantastic event with almost 180 entries received. You should receive your entry ticket in the mail before too long as they are being processed as we speak.

 

Champs Spectator tickets  

 

We have arranged to make some more discounted spectator tickets available. We are getting requests for them from around the country so don't delay. We won't be able to create any more after this, so when they are gone, they are gone. (Any additional spectator tickets will then cost the full $50)

 

What: South Island Ceroc Dance Championships

When: Saturday 26 April, 2008

Cost: $25

Seating is unreserved. Start time TBA. Ticket valid all day (i.e. both day and evening sessions)

NO "Last Saturday of the Month"

Dance Party this month as we will all

be in Christchurch for the South

Island Ceroc Champs J

 

 

Coming Events:

 

Puttin' On The Glitz Ball - Chateau a go-go!

 

7pm Saturday 17th May, at Carringtons, Auckland.

 

Ceroc French Jive celebrates 20 years in New Zealand this year.

In 1988 Angelique Meyer took on teaching Ceroc in NZ after a dare from her brother.
There are now 29 Ceroc clubs across the country from Whangarei to
Invercargill.

 

Ceroc French Jive is a fusion of American Jitterbug with the French

Boogie Français, the result: a stylish easy to learn social dance phenomenon. The
name Ceroc is an abbreviation from the French 'c'est le rock', shorthand for lets boogie!

 

Ceroc French Jive works its charms on almost everyone, even those with two

left feet find they can make good progress. And it is becoming popular to do

a little 'c'est le rock' for your wedding dance.

 

"Even after twenty years of dancing, I still haven't tired of this dance, every time it

wakes me up, makes me feel good, its my natural pick me up" say Meyer,

"and sometimes dancing is so peaceful, so centered, its almost a Zen experience".

 

You can join les Cerocers for a night of celebration and if you are a veteran
Cerocer, you are invited to bring your photographs and relive some memories.

 

Sumptuous Prizes, Belle of the Ball, Entertainment, DJs, Buffet Meal, Cash
Bar, Indoor and Outdoor dancing.

Be in to win a night for two at Bayview Chateau Tongariro* by simply buying

your tickets. www.chateau.co.nz

Quotes for the week

 

"Dance is passion, it is speechless, it is the soul of life itself."

~Lisa Roma~

 

It is also just good fun! ~John~

 

The language of movement requires no words - neither for its expression, nor for its understanding.

Without uttering a syllable, the vocabulary of dance speaks directly to the senses, seducing the heart and securing the soul.

~ Royal NZ Ballet ~

 

 Kind Regards

Katie, John, Brent and the Ceroc crew :-)
