As I am going to have the luxury of being in one place for more than 5 minutes at a time over the coming months, I am looking for options for diversifying dance-wise. I already do ceroc.

Things I am thinking of doing are possibly WCS, or AT (or any other constructive suggestions people have which make me think:yeah: (?salsa,ballroom??) - I'm pretty open-minded ATM.

Anyway, I could go on the internet, hunt up classes and trust to luck as to whether it is well taught and the clientele friendly..... or I could pick the easy option and ask the folks here for any personal recommendations.

So here is the question - recommendations (preferably tried and tested) for classes in WCS/AT or something equally interesting in centralish Edinburgh.

Oh, and please don't all say "Dancebase" - been there, done that, and I'd prefer somewhere where I don't have to book for a whole term at once due to my nomadic lifestyle.

What I decide on at the end of the day may well be determined by what night of the week it's on, and how early/late it is for the purposes of getting to it.

Many people have good things to say about the Tango classes close to the Pear Tree in Edinburgh.

Could be the Counting House, or something like that.:rolleyes::blush: Is on Sun eve. Starts with beginners, then moves on. Payment is an honesty box, I think. Only went once, as much as I'd love to go again.

Killingtime ut me onto it, so he may still be there or know more about it.:flower:
