What Is LeRoc?

It’s like the dance floor’s secret handshake—a stylish, modern jive that can groove to practically any beat
💃
So, let’s break it down: LeRoc emerged in the 1980s, waltzing its way out of dances like Swing, Lindy Hop, and Rock and Roll. The clever twist? They simplified the footwork, making it adaptable to all sorts of music—whether it’s a four-beat bop or a slow sway. Imagine LeRoc as the dance equivalent of a chameleon, blending seamlessly with whatever tune is playing
🎶
Now, here’s a fun titbit: The name itself has a touch of French flair. “Le Roc” means rock’n’roll in French. Combine those words into one, sprinkle some English magic, and voilà! You’ve got LeRoc—a dance that’s as versatile as a Swiss Army knife at a musical picnic
🎸
Michel Ange Lau, decided to focus on perfecting the dance rather than chasing income. So, today, “LeRoc” remains a generic term, and various Modern Jive organisations can sprinkle it into their names like confetti
🎉
If you’re curious about the LeRoc scene, there’s even a non-profit federation—the LeRoc Modern Jive Federation—where passionate dance teachers gather. They’ve got moves, they’ve got style, and they’ve definitely got rhythm. Plus, they’ve passed rigorous exams to prove their jive prowess
🕺
So, next time you’re at a party and the DJ spins a tune, channel your inner LeRoc. Who knows? Maybe you’ll be the life of the dance floor!
