I thought you were referring to that nasty incident in Dalgety Bay last year. (don't know if you read about it: guy accidentaly picked up his own car keys, oh it went so downhill from there....)

Anyhow, another feather in the cap of Boogie Nights.

Looks fab, if just above my ken!! Hope it goes well!

Tell us how this weekend would be for those who haven't done much of the old footwork stuff?????

What about a rough difficulty ranking for the different dances??

And, how easy would it be for the novices to then dance with the h'experts?

Could we be easily led?? (in the dance sense, of course!!:innocent: )

And purely for curiosity, do many of the visitors come in cool retro outfits??
me:D

What proportion is lindyhop compared to the other styles. I like some of them but am not keen on LH :)

Footwork- lots- luvvit! There's 'beginners' levels in swing, tango, tap, jazz dance, hip hip etc. Retro outfits not obligatory, rather the Sat. Ball theme is 'Highland' so get yer kilt on lass! You could never be easily lead Chickie, in any sense :D

About 50-60% Lindy Hop... 'Tis booking up fast, just <100, & may be closed to single gals soon (ie find a man or be a man)....
