Dance workshops: Ceroc Blaze offers a full schedule of dance workshops, with at least 2 hours each day.  These workshops will not only give you precious time with the top Ceroc teachers in the UK who will entertain you with their humour, personality and excellent teaching technique, but also will give you the opportunity to take different modules including: Styling, Lifts, Drops and Seducers, Dirty Dancing, Fancy Footwork, Close Moves, Stops Breaks and Pauses. This is a unique opportunity to widen your Ceroc repertoire, gain confidence within your dancing and dance as much as you want.

Venue for classes:  All the workshops will conveniently take place within the hotel and the hotel next door.

We aim for all of our Ceroc events to be gender balanced. We believe that gender balancing is an important feature of Ceroc events as it ensures maximum enjoyment for everyone. Ceroc normally requires a male lead and to create a successful event it is important for both men and women to have equal workshop and freestyle opportunities.

We strive to ensure a successful gender balance by creating appropriate promotions where necessary.
 

Teaching the Ceroc Blaze workshops and dancing with you during freestyle nights will be some of the top names in Ceroc from the UK. The teaching team are chosen not just for their great teaching technique but also for their charisma, sense of humour and fun. Among the teachers will be:

Debbie Attwood
A renowned figure on the UK Ceroc scene, Debbie began teaching in 2001 as part of a fresh start after the breakdown of a relationship. She fell in love with it and two years later in 2003 opened a Ceroc franchise in her home county of Worcestershire. Debbie is still as passionate about Ceroc today as when she first started and has helped to run our annual Ceroc Med Fest event for the past 7 years.
