Christelle Fournes and Thierry Gauthier dancing some of the moves they taught over the last 3 months in Croydon, Woodmansterne and Caterham.

Welcome to Simply LeRoc, the fun way to learn Modern Jive in Surrey. Learn some impressive and exciting moves in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. After only a few lessons you will be able to impress your friends on the dance floor!

LeRoc is French for "rock'n'roll". This stylish dance was brought to England in the early 1980s. Throughout the years, it has developed a unique and versatile style, incorporating Salsa, Tango and Hip-hop variations to the original moves. 

At a LeRoc evening you will be able to meet people, make new friends, have fun and keep fit, all at the same time!

This is what a beginner's routine look like (we've danced the routine twice through, don't panic, it is not that long!)

After the lesson, there is a "freestyle" session, which means that the rest of the evening is left for you to practise what you have learned in a party atmosphere. LeRoc is so flexible rhythmically that you can dance it to virtually any music, from Swing through Rock'n'Roll, Disco, 80's music and right up to your current chart favourites.

LeRoc is easy to learn and fun to dance as the footwork is kept to a minimum! In your very first lesson you will learn four moves put together into a routine that can be danced in a loop. Therefore, you can start enjoying the dance straightaway. The way we teach the dance ensures that you quickly feel confident in freestyle.

The dress code for a LeRoc evening is usually casual, but do make sure that you are wearing comfortable clothes that do not restrict your moves. Try not to wear rubber soled shoes such as trainers, as you will find it difficult to spin. LeRoc is a very energetic dance and it gets quite hot when you are dancing freestyle so we recommend that you bring a change of top.

Finally, there is no need to bring a partner as you will be "rotated" every few minutes, throughout the class. This rotation of partners is a great way to meet lots of people and will actually make you improve your dancing.
