Hi all,

My girlfriend and I are thinking of coming to the UK for a year or two to dance, explore UK/Europe and work.

Are there any hot spots for all of that?
Or places with little dancing etc that should be avoided?

Cheers :cheers:
Jeremy

The simple answer to that would be: come to London, there is plenty of jobs and plenty of dancing. Though, I am sure our friends in the nnorthern parts will have good points for you to go there :D

Jeremy Grandparents who emigrated from UK are useful for working in the UK as it enables you to get a grandparents visa - allows you to work for 4 years before needing renewing also don't have be a certain age as per a normal working visa.

Although I have heard that it needs to be a male grandparent....

:waycool: Sounds like an exciting plan, Jeremy. It would be lovely to meet you, and have a few dances.

Yli, you got plans of your own? Could do a Perth-Perth exchange (as long as you visited London often, too :D )

Or places with little dancing etc that should be avoided? Northern Ireland! (Unless you want to teach that is!). I know that's a blow - Belfast was right up there on your list of top places wasn't it!? :rofl:

Well there's always Bristol & surrounds, where we have a nice quaint LeRoc thing going or how about London On Sea - Brighton. Don't live there but my son does and it seems a really hip happening place with lots of work and dancy type things (just don't ask about the cost of housing or parking a car)

Not sure about that one. Easy to call the British Consulate though... :wink:

I have Swiss citizenship so can live and work in the UK (and other places in Europe) for as long as I like. :cool:

No doubt we will visit!

And I have been thinking of getting my teachers training before I go. Not sure to what level I'll get to by then though. I doubt I would be up to intermediate teacher. Beginner or Progression (or whatever its all called in the UK :grin: ).

Beginner or Progression (or whatever its all called in the UK :grin: ). Please visit! We have no teachers here :what: so anyone visiting is very welcome, especially if they can take a class - our dancers just love to learn! :clap:
