Le Roc is French for rock'n'roll. Combined as one word and brought into the English language it's the name given to a stylish, modern jive which can be danced to virtually any music.

As its name suggests, LeRoc evolved in France after American Gi's brought the jitterbug to France during the war. In the UK 60's, dance crazes like the Twist encouraged people to dance alone, without a partner, and a whole generation forgot how to partner dance.

In France many people carried on jiving ... adapting it to suit slow, heavy disco beats and smaller dance floors. The dance became relaxed, with less emphasis on what the feet were doing and with new and exciting moves.

In each beginners lesson you'll learn 4-5 moves which you can put together into a routine. After 6 weeks you will have learned all the basic beginners moves.

To attend advanced lessons we would expect you to have had at least 6 beginners lessons. For more information visit www.leroc.org.uk
