Monday night at Lewisham is where we see the local Sydney University crowd who are hooked on Ceroc!  Watch this space for news on a more permanent location for this recent move from the Camperdown studio. Regular beginner and intermediate teachers include Adam, Ben, Kate, Megan, and Julie G.  Beginner Progression teachers are Anne, Fiona, Kate, Matthew, and Patryck.  Resident student coordinators Ajay, Fiona and Patryck are also always organising social events such as DVD and pizza nights, so it’s a great social venue.

CANADA BAY

The Canada Bay Club is a fabulous venue full of friendly people as soon as you walk through their door.  Say hi to Leo on the club reception before coming upstairs to be greeted by one of our Ceroc door staff Becky, Karen, Joe or Luisa.

Julie G is your regular beginner teacher there, ably assisted by intermediate teacher Louie.  Beginners have their own separate room for their second beginner class with either Carmina, Luisa, Joe, Sylvia or sometimes Julie G.
 
It's a great vibe at Canada Bay and most people tend to stay on after class to continue dancing downstairs to the sounds of Tom and Vicki.  There’s usually a bit of Mambo Number Five action too – come along and witness what that’s all about!

Canada Bay has plenty of on site parking, two great restaurants, and the best air conditioning in town!

With one of the best sound and lighting systems across all our venues, Concord is always buzzing with atmosphere, both on our regular Wednesday nights and on our Saturday night dance parties throughout the year

Concord RSL also has a fabulous air conditioning system, a great bistro upstairs, and plenty of on site parking. 

Format of the night is our beginner class, usually with Julie G, followed by the beginner progression and intermediate classes. 


Becky, Eva and Karen are our friendly faces on the door of Concord, and your regular teacher is Julie G, with the occasional visit from Janet, Gary, and Louie.  Beginner progression teachers include Carmina, Cleo, Joe, Kap, Luisa and Scott.

*Intermediate/Advanced class replaces the intermediate class occasionally as advertised

We opened at Lane Cove Bowling Club in October 1999, and Julie G has been teaching there most Tuesday nights ever since!

Lane Cove has a different format, with a longer, slower beginner class from 7.30pm to 8.30pm, ideal for first timers or more experienced dancers keen on a slower pace with more detail. 

There is no Beginner Progression class at Lane Cove, however it is our only venue to do a recap of the previous week’s beginner routine as a memory refresher – particularly useful for the guys who struggle to remember the moves they need to lead on the social dance floor! 

The recap class takes around 10 minutes, and is followed by a half hour IntroMediate class every week at around 9pm.  The IntroMediate class is a very inclusive workshop style class, with a lot of personal attention where possible, to assist you with the transition from beginner to intermediate level.

The on site bar closes at Lane Cove at 7.30pm, after which time water and soft drinks are available for purchase.  There’s plenty of on site parking behind the bowling club, or street parking right outside.

Julie G and Deanna are your teachers at Lane Cove, with the occassional visit from Ben.  Come along and say hi - we're very friendly!

DEE WHY (PREVIOUSLY MANLY)

After almost 11 years at Manly Leagues Club, we have recently moved (in March 2010) to  our new home for Ceroc on the Northern Beaches - the Gallery Room on Level 3 of the popular 2008 Club of the Year, Dee Why RSL, 932 Pittwater Road, Dee Why.

A huge, modern, fully air conditioned club, with bistro, fine dining, outdoor dining, several bars and function rooms and plenty of undercover parking, Dee Why RSL is a jewel in the crown of the Northern Beaches and we are thrilled to have secured it for our regular Ceroc classes in the future.  As well as the club's elegant and sophisticated dining and bar areas, each Wednesday night is $7 cocktail night until 9pm!


On arrival at the fabulous Dee Why RSL, Club of the Year for 2008, head upstairs and find Brad on our front desk in the main auditorium, and then be delighted with the teaching talents of our regulars Nicky, Ben, Kate, Megan and Luke-Anthony. 

Beginners then go into another room for their second class with our Beginner Progression teachers Rob & Sue, Ken & Carol, Maureene & Chris, Ben or Sean.

Our Dee Why venue has it all - ample car parking, smooth and elegant sunken dance floor, bistro and bar for before and after class drinks, meals and snacks at Leagues Club prices – you’ll find most of our regular dancers in the bar after class each Wednesday night! 

On a Sunday night at Rosehill Bowling Club you’ll be greeted by the friendly face of Ceroc Venue Manager John and his door team Frank, Steve and Regan.

Rosehill has a different format to our other classes, allowing you some extra basic learning time in a one hour beginner class starting at 7pm, and then almost two hours of social dance time every week until 9.45pm.

Watch out for the first Sunday of the month though – it’s IntroMediate night!  That means the beginners are given the extra challenge of a class at a level between Beginner and Intermediate.  So, probably not the best week to come along for your first time, but perfect if you’ve got a few beginner classes under your belt, and are looking to take that gradual step up to the next level.

There’s plenty of onsite parking at Rosehill, plus a quiet and pleasant bar area, and a buffet restaurant open on Sunday nights until 9pm.

Regular beginner and intromediate teachers at Rosehill include Gary, Jan, Julie G, Julie T, and Louie.

WENTWORTHVILLE

Don’t plan on leaving Wenty before trying out the coffee and cake upstairs in the café afterwards!  We have such a great turn out there on a Monday night that the club even reserve tables just for us! 

There’s plenty of parking on site, plus fabulous restaurant and bar facilities.

Please note you will need photo ID or a Wenty Leagues membership to enter the club.  Leagues club dress code applies.

WEST RYDE

Format: Beginner class 7.30pm to 8.20pm Social dancing 8.20pm to 8.50pm Intermediate class 8.50pm to 9.45pm Beginner Progression class 8.50pm to 9.45pm Social dancing 9.45pm to 10.30pm
	At Ryde Eastwood Leagues Club we're tucked away in the fabulous auditorium upstairs which boasts a great dance floor just waiting to be filled every Tuesday night! A few metres from West Ryde train station, and a short walk from bus stops on Victoria Road, Ryde Eastwood Leagues is easy to get to, has great aircon, and lots of parking. Current usually smaller in numbers than our other venues, Ryde Eastwood offers the personal touch with our regular teachers Anne, Gary, Julie G, Janet and Louie rotating amongst all students in the class to give feedback and help you with your techniques.
Beginners will be welcomed for their second class of the night by the friendly teaching faces of Joe and Luisa, giving lots of personal tuition and helpful advice.

WILLOUGHBY

Our Willoughby class has been going since 2002 and it's become our premier advanced venue, with I/A classes running there every Thursday apart from the first Thursday of the month where it’s the easier intermediate class.  Beginners of course still get their two classes, so it’s still a great beginner and first timer venue – in fact even better because all the great dancers are there for you to practise with and be inspired by!!

Nicky is your regular teaching face at Willoughby, assisted by Adam, Gary, Jon, Kate, Liane, Megan and Robert for beginner, intermediate and I/A classes, plus Darlene, Gabriella, Jeremy, Kate, and Liane for Beginner Progression classes.

At our Willoughby venue you can really improve your dancing by participating in our I/A Card system.  Every dancer who has progressed beyond intermediate level may request, or will be offered, the opportunity for an appraisal from any of our I/A teachers. 

Each I/A class is divided into I/A and intermediate level dancers and the I/A Card system allows you to really find out where you are at with your dance level, as each appraisal is conducted according to a set criteria.  Once you have your I/A Card, you are entitled to join in the class rotation with other dancers at I/A level and above.

Of course there is also no pressure to get an I/A Card.  As long as you have participated in AT LEAST 8 weeks of beginner classes and are a competent freestyle dancer you can join in the intermediate rotational lines in the I/A class and take on the challenge of the more difficult class.

Willoughby is also the only venue to offer a full one and a half hour of social dancing AFTER the second class until 11 pm.  For those wanting just a lengthy dose of quality social dancing to end their week, you can enter the venue for only $8 after 9.30pm for social dancing only.

Club Willoughby offers fabulous Club facilities such as car parking, air conditioning, great sound and lighting systems, a separate room for beginner progression classes, a sumptuous bistro (10% discount on presentation of your CMJ Member Reward Card!), challenging classes each week and extended social and freestyle time
