"Ceroc is better imo
Apparently there is some ceroc in Salisbury, although I'm not sure if it's lessons. Now, wtf is ceroc?"
It's a mix of modern jive, ballroom and salsa. Usual evening consists of beginners class where you are taught 3 or 4 moves and how to link them together. Partners are swapped throughout 
Then you have a bit of freestyle where you can practice what you've learnt to songs. After that the beginners go off with taxi dancers to go over what they have learnt while the intermediate class is taught. Then more freestyle until the end of the night.
I love it. |

You know proper dance shoes shouldn't be worn outside and you have to brush the soles with wire brushes right? |

Hehehe... Huge difference between what you see on Strictly and authentic salsa... But fair play to the man! |

A female friend of mine, on here, took me to salsa, I then realised I have no coordination whatsoever. It looks really good, but I think I'd need a lot more lessons than most. |

Look at
"uk jive"
On your computer.
Lists modern jive classes and dances in every area,
Including Ceroc and other jive dance clubs.
Sociable, great exercise, good fun.
Get your backside down there! |

I used to do salsa dancing when I lived abroad..
Unfortunately there is nowhere local to me that teaches it otherwise I'd take it up again..
It's a great way of exercising |

Watched a few Ceroc vids on YouTube, but it doesn't appeal. |

Ceroc is very very social. Weekenders are great fun.
If you want a dance that looks good, take a look at West Coast Swing.
Lindy is great too, but I found the music, like salsa, grinds on me after an hour or so.
Ceroc and West Coast Swing (WCS) have a larger musical variety and, in the case of Ceroc, have a lot more clubs and social events than other dances.
The videos on youtube that come up high, are not always of the best dancers / examples of it. Done well, Ceroc can look pretty good
Zouk is another great dance, but classes are sparse...
West Coast Swing...
