A fantastic week-end of Style and dancing with top guest teacher Humphrey Euwin and partner Kirsty.

Here you are guys, a few more details about the Style week-end in September. 2 workshops and a party, with plenty to learn from our guest star for the week-end: 'Humphrey Euwin, commonly known as 'H', well known for his unique and fabulous style. His background in dance originates from years of practice as a Jazz and Ballet dancer. 'H' started dancing Ceroc in 1994 and then moved on to teach in 1996 and has been in demand ever since!! H and his partner Kirsty have been dancing together for 3 years. They ooze smooth-ness and style, drawing from all aspects of their dancing backgrounds.

How mad can things get? :nice: Find out here with the programme for the Style week-end:

¥ Starting in Glasgow on Saturday 21st September with the Footwork Frenzy Style workshop:

Come along to this workshop to learn some fun yet challenging steps! We quarantee by the end of the day you'll be doing them with confidence and perfection!

¥ Still wanting more? Drive on to Aberdeen for one of our (now infamous) party nights on the Saturday night, with a guest class from H and Kirsty.

¥ Stay over-night (more chatting, dancing and general mis-behaviour ;) + hotels are cheap) and be ready on the Sunday morning for the second Style workshop: Smooth Grooves

A workshop especially devised to polish off those rough edges you develop during freestyle and make you a smoother dancer! Re-energize your dancing with plenty of style and finesse tips!


Each workshop will cost £25.00 per person (the party will be at the normal price of £6.00). There is also a special Style Addict Pass available for all 3 events at £40.00 only! (a saving of £16.00 per person!) but you will have to book fast as numbers for the workshops will be limited to 25 couples, first come first served...
You can book by phone (01324-613 209), or better still, by email: hi@cerocscotland.com

If you have any questions about the above events, post them here in this thread.

You can count me in for the lot and probably out for the count come Sunday night. :sick:

Anyone else from Glasgow fancy a joining the convoy up to Aberdeen after the Footwork Frenzy workshop??? Or indeed fancy a lift? Let me know. :grin:

I have added your name to the list (second only to Amanda the chilli! so far).
I have not yet decided on a theme, but I was leaning towards a uniforms night (you know, police officer, army officer, traffic warden etc... for the men and Nurses for the women :yum: :wink: ). But I am not too sure, still open for suggestions...

The sky is the limit, stretch your imagination, but in the meantime, you can suggest other themes you would like to dress up for.

That'll be John McAulay's house then. Rumour has it that he does very reasonable rates and if you're really lucky he might just rustle up a 'full English' the next morning.... Mmmmm, anyone for an extra sausage? :wink:

Amanda

John McAulay
21st-August-2002, 10:38 AM
As you well know, you can always get a large portion of sausage when you stay at mine Amanda!
It helps having a son, who works in a butcher's.

For the sane people out there
try the travelodge on Bridge Street
or the Premier Lodge next to the Lemon Tree

Can I just register my disgust at the blatant innuendo peppered throughout the last couple of posts? I find it abhorrent that grown adults should masquerade their sleaze in such a sinister fashion. I was having a couple of lovely meaty pies last night (which I personally filled with top quality beef) and reading your messages made me have to stop eating at one point. Disgraceful!!

That hurt John!! That really hurt!! My ego has been trampled on once again from the man who supplies dodgy CD's. Were you aware that it was the Robbie Williams CD that packed in on me? I hope you are man enough to accept MOST of the blame.

John McAulay
21st-August-2002, 11:06 AM
Typical you try and give a snotty face kid a hand up,
and even go out of your way to get him a copy of some decent music to dance to.
He then plays it till the record bleed's! and then has the brass neck to blame me!
ps. get a hair cut!

regards:waycool:

Curtain
21st-August-2002, 11:14 AM
I should have known better. I apologise profusely for my ungrateful posturing. It was ill considered and downright silly to blame you for my misdemeanor. It was all my fault, I should never of accepted the shoddy merchandise in the first place.

p.s. Grow your hair!!

John McAulay
21st-August-2002, 11:27 AM
Your grumbling apology is both noted and accepted!
It is however noted, you used the word ''Merchandise'' as if some money passed hands.
As I remember it, at the time you never offered any money as none was asked for!

Ps. further to this you could,nt afford a hat as you always wore a T cosy on yer head!

Oh oh looks like it's back to that old "au natural" theme again:devil:

Would give the neighbours a few things to talk about!

How is your nipple problem John McAuley???:wink:

PS Franck hope you have the 2 Sandra's on your list for the 22nd and of course we wouldn't miss the party for anything. There's always the "Tarts and Vicars" theme!

John McAulay

Don't have a fit Gus. The CD in question was Swing When You're Winning and the track was La Mer (Beyond the Sea). Good track by all accounts, provided of course it doesn't jump ..

La ... Bey ... That's where ... Golden Sand ...

You get the picture now?

Apology (?) accepted.

Re Swing .... winning, best track is ...Ms Jones .... good floor filler down here.

Re Beyond the Sea, not a bad version but down south they prefer the Bobby Darin version (on Swing! album) ... probably agree with the Southerners (London) on that one even though as Robbie is a Stoke lad (my home town) tend to have a bit of bias in his favour.

You mean a sort of Navel Display uniform?

I won't even suggest judging on a Navel Rating basis, and as for Able Bodied Seaman, I would be scared I misspelled it.

You see, it's not only Franck who can make the bad jokes!!

Think we've lost the thread again:sorry

Just a quick update to say that the workshops are filling up very fast... (within 2 days of opening the bookings, more than half the women spaces are already taken... and about a third of the men spaces, so if you are keen to go, make sure you email me or phone asap.

So far quite a few of you have opted for the Full Monty Special, which is great value at £40.00... We will all be leaving Glasgow together towards Aberdeen, and I am sure there will be a few spaces in cars for anyone interested...

Does anyone want a lift? Don't know what time the class in Glasgow starts but am sure it will be somewhere on the website, just haven't looked yet.

Franck am assuming you have counted the "2 Sandra's" in your numbers??? If not can you please.:grin:

Cheers

You are indeed on my list already, for the Full Monty! :yum:

Both workshops will start at 11.00am (on time! so every one should turn up at 10.30/10.45am at the latest, and finish at 3.30pm, with a break for lunch.

I reckon we will all be dead by the end of it, but it will worthwhile. :what: :waycool:

Dead but not down and out! A drive up the road and a few drinks and off to the party for even more fun (hope your'e working on that theme)
:wink: :yum:

I take it there is no bus from Aberdeen to Glasgow in the morning? Don't matter cos I can easily take car as indicated earlier.

Do you think Ceroc takes over lives??:really: Even when I am in a shop and I turn around to talk to someone, I do it with a little half spin now!! Walking down the road I do it with a swinging motion!!! Do I need help or is this usual for addicts:sick:

Still don't know how to split quotes but haven't given up trying - yet!

Still enjoying:wink:

Good to see we have convinced you to go for the full 'Style Addicts' package...
There are a few reasonable hotels in Aberdeen, the Travelodge is only £45.00 per room, and if you have a buddy you can share with, it makes it fairly cheap!

I am also talking to another couple of hotels to see if they would do us a deal for several rooms... Watch this space.

I am so looking forward to that week-end, to be able to pick up new Style points for myself, and for the mad partying that will inevitably happen on Saturday night...

Franck.

I'll be doing the Grand Tour of Scotland that weekend (Fife - Glasgow - Aberdeen - Fife) so if anyone wants to hook up with me for the journey then please get in touch.

(To be honest, by the time the Sunday workshop comes around it won't be so much Style as Survival! :confused: )

For accommodation, it's always worth keeping an eye out for special offers from the likes of Travelodge and Premier Lodge (eg this weekend you could pick up a room at the Aberdeen Premier Lodge for £20).

Meantime you can always book up at the current rates, and if a better deal comes up then as long as you cancel (say, the Travelodge) before 4pm on the day then you won't be charged anything. You can book on line at www.travelodge.co.uk or at 08700 850950.

Already a change of plan for the party in September... The new venue will be the Aberdeen Northern Hotel, 1, Great Northern Rd, Aberdeen. This is a fabulous venue, well known to all Aberdeen dancers and we can now dance until 1.00am :grin:
As an added bonus, the Sunday workshop will also take place in the Northern Hotel. As a result, I thought it would make sense to stay there overnight. It is a bit more expensive than the Travelodges, but they do include a full cooked breakfast (and we might need it after the partying :wink: ) and you don't have to drive or travel after the party, and you can stumble straight out of bed into the workshop!
The normal cost is £75.00, but I have negotiated a discount: £62.50 per Double / Twin room. You can also get a Dinner Bed and Breakfast deal for an extra £10.00.
To book, phone 01224 483342 and mention you are part of the Ceroc party and the rate was authorized by Lorna.

Franck.

Just a small recap of events for those of you who got lost in the last 3 pages... :wink:

Programme for the Style week-end:

¥ Glasgow on Saturday 21st September: Footwork Frenzy Style workshop

¥ Party on the Saturday night, with a guest class from H and Kirsty:
No theme, we won't need an excuse to party... :nice:

¥ Aberdeen Sunday 22nd September: Smooth Grooves Style workshop
Become a smooth dancer!

Places for the workshops are disappearing fast and a (surprisingly) high number of people are mad enough to have booked for the full package!
Don't leave it to late, or you will regret it!. :tears:
