CPAC STORY
Officially known as the Ceroc Pan Asia Dance Championships, and fondly known as CPAC, the CPAC philosophy is that the event should be a meeting point and melting pot for dancers from across the world, where different techniques and styles of Ceroc and modern jive are represented and explored. We favour a non-intimidating, friendly atmosphere where dancers can mingle, dance and learn.
The event is run by Ceroc Asia was established in 2007 in order to spread the love of Ceroc dancing across the Asia Pacific region, officially kicking off with weekly classes in Hong Kong in the autumn of 2007, followed by Singapore in 2013 and Malaysia in 2014. In 2014 the first Ceroc Asia Champs was held in Hong Kong attended by Ceroc Hong Kong, Ceroc Singapore and Ceroc dancers from Japan. The event has since been held across Asia including in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Bali and will take place in Bangkok in May 2024.
Since we started 10 years ago with a single night event, CPAC has now expanded to become a 4 day event followed by a 4 day tropical Dive & Jive Dance Holiday, which will take place in Phu Quoc, Vietnam in 2024 - so you can discover more of Asia each year.
CPAC bears the hashtag #internationaldancefamily, and in 2019 attracted over 150 attendees from 9 different countries to Bali - our largest yet. We are hopeful for a bumper year in 2024 as the international dance family can finally reunite after the long break.
WHAT MAKES CPAC UNIQUE?
- CPAC is held across different Asian destinations, bringing dancers from East and West together.
- CPAC plays songs from Asia alongside other international hits, broadening the range of musical styles you can enjoy while dancing.
- The CPAC competition kicks off with Asian Connexion on the Friday night. This heat is where a dancer competes in a freestyle heat with a dancer from a different country, enabling participants to meet and dance with someone new. No need to find a partner as your Asian Connexion partner will be assigned to you ‘lucky-dip style’ on the night. Just be sure to register in advance if you would like to take part as competitors are entered on a first come first served basis into the lucky dip. Asian Connexion is included in every dancing Pass as a complimentary category so everyone can dip their toes in the competitive waters.
- We award a 'Spirit of CPAC’ medal each year to one female and one male dancer, who we feel have best represented what CPAC stands for by demonstrating inclusivity, warmth, friendship and authenticity.
- Each year a Dive & Jive dance holiday is added onto CPAC for a relaxing time. And, you don't need to be a diver or a dancer to join! Everyone is welcome to come and take in some sand, sea, food and fun as we all relax and chill out after the main event. Choose to come for as long as you like, our dates are suggested dates only.
