Ceroc

What's that ? Never heard about it ?

In UK, Ceroc is very popular. It's a dance which is a fusion of Jive (Rock'n'roll) and Salsa. It is really becoming a dance phenomenon here. It can be danced to any style of music and many people new to dance try to learn it.

To compare it with 6-step and 4-step Jive as you can learn it in France, I would say it's between both of them. It is smoother than 4-step French Jive with much more style (like in Salsa). You can easily adapt 6-step Jive movements to Ceroc but you need to be careful because it's a 4-step dance.

When you already know Rock'n'roll, it's easy to learn it and you can have great fun in the numerous parties organized here.
I had yesterday my first lesson in Luton and I stayed there for 3 hours and a half. Even when I wanted to have a rest, I couldn't because there was always a lady inviting me. Sometimes it's nice but tiring as well. Anyway, I enjoyed it a lot.

Fire-Alarm Exercise !

6.40 am - Silsoe
Drriiinnnnggggggggggggg

You know those bells that usually ring in pre-schools ? Well, here we have the same but one bell just in front of my room upstairs and another downstairs. The officials of the silsoe campus had really a wonderful idea : wake up everybody at 6.40 am.
It was a success !!!! Hearing such a noise, I tried to stop my alarm-clock but it didn't stop ! And trust me, you cannot stay in your bed, it's too loud.
My housemate who had gone to bed at 4 am couldn't understand what was happening and I had to explain to him. Because even out of bed, he was still sleeping. And outside it was so cold... Some people had taken their covers with them. It's a pity, I have no photograph...

Anyway, I have learnt a new verb today : to blare.

Not the funniest part of the morning because I could have slept 50 more minutes (it's important when you go to bed everyday at 1 am or 2 am) but after, you laugh a lot about it.
