Episode 98: Jo Emmerson - Seeing the Changes As Ceroc Evolves

Listen Later

Jo Emmerson has recently qualified as an intermediate Ceroc teacher. Her dance story illustrates just how much Ceroc keeps evolving. After a hiatus to West Coast Swing, coming back to Ceroc was like walking into a room full of friends she didn't know yet, and a smoother slotted style of dancing.

 

Listen to her opinions on rotational versus slotted dancing, whether it's harder for leads or followers, and how she balances private life with teaching.
