SOLO DANCE ROUTINE CLASSES IN SMALL GROUPS
Build your confidence!
Enhance your coordination and style!
Great for fun and fitness!
‘Jazzy Funky Stuff’ is the best way we can describe these fun classes which are a cross between line dancing, jazz dancing, and what you see the back up dancers do behind the singer on pop music videos.
It’s fun and it’s for everyone – no experience required for the beginner class, but some self coordination and solo dance experience preferred for the intermediate class.
Limited to 20 people per class in accordance with Covid-19 restrictions.
Five Dock – 4 consecutive Wednesdays starting 19th August
Beginner 7.15pm til 8.15pm
Intermediate 8.30pm til 9.30pm
Willoughby – 4 consecutive Thursdays starting 20th August
Beginner 12 noon til 1pm

VIDEO CLASSES TO LEARN WITH JULIE AT HOME
During our indefinite suspension due to COVID-19, we have some fantastic specially created video classes available to purchase and download as follows:
Beginner Ceroc – Series 1 (6 weeks)

CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE YOUR VIDEOS NOW
Owner of Ceroc, Julie Gunn, partnered by Domenic Sergi for the beginner and intermediate classes, teaches you on a pre-recorded downloadable video as though she’s right there in your home, going through 3 to 4 moves per class with full instruction and music run throughs. Despite filming and editing from home during COVID-19 isolation, Julie teaches with a microphone and a good audio and lighting system through a high quality video camera, so the videos are easy to see and hear and there’s no risk of that timelag and grainy video quality you can sometimes get on live videos streamed through the internet from a laptop. Plus of course you can rewind and fast forward her as much as you like!
Most beginner classes are around 25-35 minutes long, and most intermediate around 30-45 minutes (depending on difficulty and length of moves) and of course you can watch them as many times as you like because you can download them. Ideally you do need a partner, however as they are downloadable to keep, they are still a worthwhile investment for your return to the real dance floor if you are isolating without a dance partner. And if you don’t have a dance partner at home and would rather do some solo classes, read on to the bottom of this page!
PLUS! Everyone registered for the online classes has the opportunity to join our Facebook Discussion Group, plus we’ve had the occasional ‘Zoom’ Party too!
FOR BEGINNERS
The BEGINNER videos start off with all the basics for first timers and are jam packed with fun beginner moves achievable even for the most novice dancer. Series 1 is perfect for people who have never danced Ceroc before and both sets of 6 weeks are suitable for beginner dancers who want to enhance their techniques and repertoire of moves. We recommend that absolute beginners start with Series 1 before moving to Series 2. If you do move on to Series 2, you’ll continue to learn more challenging beginner moves to get you ready for a possible move up to Intermediate after that.
Beginner classes are released one class per week on TUESDAYS as listed below. If you miss the start date we can send you the weeks you missed, up to maximum 3 weeks. If you purchase after 3 weeks into a cycle, you will receive your first video at the start of the next cycle:
NEXT 6 WEEK CYCLE:
Tuesdays 25th August to 29th September 2020 (Series 1 or 2)
Please note you can start EITHER Series 1 OR Series 2 on any of the above dates. Videos can be ordered one series at a time, and we will contact you at the end of one series to offer you the option to purchase the next series (if there is one).
FOR INTERMEDIATES
The INTERMEDIATE videos have a collection of some of Julie’s favourite moves and sequences, plus a bonus ‘dancealong’ freestyle with her and Domenic at the end of each video. Series 2 Intermediate even has some NEW MOVES never before taught at our regular classes, so sign up now to get a head start on some stuff nobody has ever seen before!
Intermediate classes are sent out once a week on WEDNESDAYS as listed below. If you miss the start date we can send you the weeks you missed, up to maximum 3 weeks. If you purchase after 3 weeks into a cycle, you will receive your first video at the start of the next cycle:
NEXT 6 WEEK CYCLE:
Wednesdays 26th August to 30th September 2020 (Series 1 or 2)
Please note you can start EITHER Series 1 OR Series 2 on any of the above dates. Videos can be ordered one series at a time, and we will contact you at the end of one series to offer you the option to purchase the next series (if there is one).
BEGINNER & INTERMEDIATE VIDEO PRICING
Each series is available for purchase for only $35 per household for the whole 6 weeks. So if there’s two of you at home that’s an absolute bargain – 6 weeks of beginner or intermediate classes for less than $3 per person per class!
NO DANCE PARTNER AT HOME?
The SOLO STYLING & TIMING videos are for intermediate Ceroc’ers and are perfect if you’re stuck at home without a dance partner. The 3 week series covers things like timing variations, styling, and spinning, all of which you can practise at home alone and then put into the context of your Ceroc moves when you return to the real dance floor. A small section on ‘lady play’ options is also included, however the videos as a whole are suitable for both leaders AND followers.
Solo classes are sent out once a week on THURSDAYS as listed below. If you miss the start date you will receive your first video at the start of the next cycle:
NEXT 3 WEEK CYCLE:
Thursdays 6th August to 20th August 2020
The solo series is available for purchase for only $20 for the whole 3 weeks. Classes are approximately 30 minutes long, depending on the content from week to week.
