Dance workshops: Med Fest offers a full schedule of dance workshops, with at least five hours to choose from each day. These workshops will not only give you precious time with the top Ceroc teachers in the UK who will entertain you with their humour, personality and excellent teaching technique, but also will give you the opportunity to take different modules including: Styling, Lifts, Drops and Seducers, Dirty Dancing, Fancy Footwork, Close Moves, Stops Breaks and Pauses. This is a unique opportunity to widen your Ceroc repertoire, gain confidence within your dancing and dance as much as you want.
Venue of classes: All the workshops will conveniently take place within the hotel. All of our Ceroc events are gender balanced. We believe that gender balancing is an important feature of Ceroc events as it ensures maximum enjoyment for everyone. By nature, Ceroc requires a male lead and to create a successful event it is important for both men and women to have equal workshop and freestyle opportunities.
We strive to ensure a successful gender balance by creating appropriate promotions where necessary.

The teaching team are chosen not just for their great teaching technique but also for their charisma, sense of humour and fun. The teachers and DJs for this year will be announced soon.
