[Yogi_Bear]

Definitely Bedford Corn Exchange on Friday the 24th..!
....not sure about the 25th though as the Rushden Jiv-Vibe event is an unknown quantity and expensive at £12, Nuneaton is also unknown and the Ceroc Leamington Spa website does not excactly motivate me to go either...nowhere else is within travelling distance....

[SnowWhite]

Can't decide between Bedford and Ashton's...

Hmmmm, decisions, decisions - I've never been good at making those. (or cakes! Never been good at making those either! :what: )

And that's without even thinking about Saturday! :eek:

[TheTramp]

And that's without even thinking about Saturday! :eek:

You don't have to think about that. You'll be coming to Hammersmith. Won't you? :yum:

Coventry Jive Fever (I'm always going to call it Coventry Blitz) is my favourite freestyle and I'll be there on Friday. :clap:

4 Good reasons why:

Great Dance floor
Music is always to my liking.
The friendliest place I go.
I’ll know lots of people there.

Oh!! Coventry is my home city so that may also have a bearing too. :grin:

Agree with all that , wish her well in her new venture away from ceroc mmm is a common theme going on here .

[Sinner]

In case anyone lives South of the M25, lets not forget Ashstead in Surrey which is run by Colin Shaul. Generally sells out and is a nice dancfloor too. Has the main room and a blues room:respect: www.leroc.biz

I went to Colin Shaul's LeRoc Ashtead dance last Saturday with Dangerous Curves and had the best time I have had for ages. Colin always plays great music:respect::worthy: (he can really read the floor) + Sheepy in the Swing & Blues room :worthy: - really happy friendly faces and lots of really good dancers and coffee/tea and yummy cakes to finish.:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Definitely recommend this night :flower:

However ............ it's not on this Friday, BUT he does have a dance at Friends Provident and it will possibly be the same crowd and they have a top teacher doing the class :whistle:

[Sinner]

Thanks for the correction Minnie.. thats what happens when you post something in the early hours, half asleep.. have Ashstead on the brain at the moment.. so.. FRIENDS PROVIDENT, near Dorking it is then..:grin:

I'm still wavering - Chesham, Ashtons or Finchley tomorrow... decisions decisions...

[tiger]

i think ashtons will be good as there hasnt been a friday freestyle for a long time. Ashtons it is.

Oh well, seeing as you say so :devil:

[MartinHarper]

I'll be (with my goodies) at Ceroc Midlands Halesowen on Friday (late finish i believe) :clap:

I am really cross with myself for not finding out about the late nights at Halesowen before tonight. It's a gem of a freestyle, and only 30 mins from home.

[robd]

Decided to go to Bedford this week instead of Ashtons having not danced locally very frequently for quite some time. Bad choice methinks. Music not to my taste at all (nor to many others I spoke too). Very crowded, lots of bumping and bashing going on. Less than a handful of dances that I actually enjoyed (tho did manage a basic cha cha and an equally basic WCS to a couple of appropriate tracks). I hasten to add that my enjoyment is up to me to provide just as much as my partners and given the music and very busy floor I just really wasn't in the mood :sad:

Given that I have levelled similar criticisms at Ashtons in the past I am not sure I would have had a better night had I gone there but then it's always tempting to ponder 'what if.....'

[bigdjiver]

:yeah: :mad: ...and it was too hot for my comfort.
OTOH There were a lot of superb and fun dancers there, and the water was free.
On a personal note, I was busy ignoring Doctors advice to rest my muscle strain, and, that, the crowds, temperature, and the all too infrequent inspiration from the music meant that I generally gave the ladies far below my best. Nevertheless one superb connected dance, and a lot of fun ones, ensured that I enjoyed my evening.

[David Bailey]

Ashtons was OK - standard fare, nothing special, there'll be another one along in a minute.

Seemed relatively quite though - ie. there was space to dance and it wasn't too hot. But I need to remember to take more money to pay for for the extensive Ashtons bar bill, I foolishly assumed £20 would see me through the night :rolleyes:

Fun, yes. Superb, well it depends how you define that but I'll concede it's a subjective assessment.

Dodgy music and a dodgems floor is a good nutshell description for the night.

[Cruella]

I think that Ashtons was more of a 'ladies night' last night, there seemed to be alot of good men there. In fact i didn't seem to find time to get around to dancing with them all. :sad:

So that's why my drinks kept disappearing.:whistle:

20 would have been enough if only you had not tried to take a dozen ladies to the bar but just a handful you greedy sod. :na: Was good to finally meet you. :nice: :cheers:

My take on the night, it was a good night but nothing special. I became victim of this 8 minutes lasting track of nothing but boom boom. To the DJs, does really anybody request that piece? I mean it is no music but all beat and for being so terribly uninspiring it goes on for way too long. The blending from one track to the next was done pretty well, too good in fact. With quite a few (too many) techno tracks being played it was virtually impossible to tell them apart until half way through the next song. Consequently it appeared rude to say 'let us sit that one out' because it seemed like the first track hadn't actually finished. :whistle: I liked the good number of Cha Chas and Rumbas and thanks heaps to the ladies that danced them with me. :hug:

[David Bailey]

So you were just on the water then? :rolleyes:
Soda and lime, as recommended by Stewart38, is going to be my drink from now on.

I was on the orange-and-lemonade kick, but that's £2.60 a pint, S-and-L is £1.40.

Bargain, by Ashton's standards.

The music was, well, as I expected, so at least I can't say I was surprised.

There were a couple of nice sets around 11 - 11.30, and again 12.30 - 1, however.

[littlewiggle]

Went to Bedford last night - didn't enjoy it as much as usual though. Got a bit fed up with being elbowed, trodden on and generally bashed about. Did have some good dances though. Dancing with strangers is a bit like eating a bag of Revels as you never know what you are going to get! I did get some coffee ones .... :tears: but on the whole enjoyable :nice:

I was also at Bedford (arrived around 9.45). The music was not at all to my taste and was far too loud. I think that sums it up. Apart from that I had a pleasant evening. Nice to meet you LW and also Snow White ....and renew acquaintance with a few others I hadn't seen in a long time.....
