Ceroc opened its first Franchise in France in Marseille, on the Mediterranean, on 15th June 2005 with a Ceroc class once a week on the Wednesday. A big thank you to all international Cerocers and "Busketeers", who came from the UK and Australia to Marseille throughout the summer 2005, you made a big difference and no doubt contributed to the fast expansion of Ceroc Marseille; you have earned your place in the Hall of Fame.

On 13th March 2007 we opened a second venue on Tuesday nights in Aix en Provence

On 15th October 2007 classes started in Aubagne every Monday night

Since January 2007 we also teach WORKSHOPS on the Riviera near Cannes and as soon as we have the right venue regular classes will follow!

We are in parallel looking for venues in PARIS for a start in 2008. Any help you can give us is welcome. there is already a group of Cerocers meeting up regularly in Paris, contact us to join them.

.....Start telling your friends and get ready for a busking trip!

Guest Teachers

Ann PURCELL and Paul DODDS, franchisees and Ceroc Teachers in Newcastle (England) ....

....did a brilliant job on 3rd and 4th April 2007, teaching 2 classes in French for the delight of our Cerocers here. Ann is an excellent and entertaining teacher and nothing was lost in translation!

Frank PAULY, all the way from Scotland, was in Marseille on 22-23 September 2007 to teach 4 workshops over a weekend. It was a great success and we want him back!

To all Cerocers: If you want to visit us in Aix, Marseille, Aubagne or Cannes, send an email to isabelle, I will give you directions and help you with accommodation.

We are also RECRUITING future Ceroc Teachers for AUBAGNE and CANNES/ANTIBES/NICE, also for next year in PARIS, LYON and TOULOUSE. If you have been Cerocing for several years and now live in France (or are planning to) this may be just the job for you! (You need to speak fluent French)

You also have the possibility of opening a Ceroc Franchise somewhere else in France. Contact me for further info.

About hotels in Marseille, I recommend you stay by the Vieux Port. It's Central and it's easy to go everywhere from there. Here are a few addresses of very reasonably priced hotels:

- Hotel La Residence du Vieux Port (http://www.hotelmarseille.com/vieuxport/vp_fr/index.html) Double room Euro124

- Hotel Hermes (http://www.hotelmarseille.com/hermes/hermes_fr/hotel.html) room with 1 large or 2 small beds Euro72, room with terrace Euro82

- Hotel Belle Vue ( http://www.hotel-bellevue-marseille.fr/) double E68 and E99

In the Summer, choose the hotel by the beach (Pierre et vacances) it's further from the center but close to the beach and the Ceroc venue. And it has a swimming pool. Small apartments to share: studio for 2 = €79, apartment for 4 = €115 http://www.pierreetvacances-city.com/scripts/fiche_produit.php?id_ofr=278

	"Sun, beach and Ceroc. What else do we need ?!?" Says Masaki Masugata, Ceroc London DJ and venue manager, who now counts 3 visits to Ceroc Marseille in June 2005, august 2005 and June 2006.
"Magic Scenery, beautiful women, a great host and dancing till you drop in a stylish and modern venue, it is a Ceroc dancers' paradise" Says Australian Taxi Dancer and Demonstrator Lee Rays, who now lives in London and spent a week in Marseille busking his shoes off in May 2005.

	"Oops, I did it again... Now it's your turn, to do a Travelling Return to Marseille and suntan your style" Says Guy Chevalier, Ceroc London Taxi Dancer, who came to Ceroc Marseille in June and in July 2005, and again in July 2006.
"I loved it all.. the people, the atmosphere, Colin's warmth and personality, isabelle's Hospitality, her dynamic approach, and all in the sun, I'm definitely coming back!" Says Fiona Daniels, a Cerocer from London who spend a week in Marseille in July 2005
