They do some fab ones don't they! Mine looks quite similar to this one...

The best thing about D&L coming over is that we are having a 4 course meal, a demo and then a dance! :clap:

EDIT: I've just had a thought... how the HELL am I going to cope with a simple underarm turn!!!!

You could stay on in Horsham, there is a dance in Broadbridge Heath - or pop down to Brighton to Andy McGregor's Rocsters - or Bromley Ceroc Kent, or Ceroc Surrey's Sutton OR something different Nick Kirby's East Coast Swing in Coulsden :flower:

Hello,

Bank in London for Mum's birthday, but looking at dance options, very tempting:devil:

Or should I be a good son and do family stuff, , Hmm decisions :innocent:

At the moment I am thinking about Ashtons, Slinky and HMS. I can prob only do one, maybe 2. What would you londonites recommend.

Preferences: Experimental dancers, latin and or blues music

I'd say do Ashtons as well, if you can do two.;) Look at how many ladies are going, on the poll :what: plus it has a late finish time and CAKE :na: (for Kev F's birthday)

I'm going to meet friends at the Casbah, for a gentle dance and see how I get on. If I'm up to it I'll come along to Ashtons later.

Tomorrow I'm committed to a Eurovision party :rolleyes: but may try to get to Slinkys before the end. Otherwise it'll be teeth flossing for me the rest of the weekend.

Best night i've ever had at Ashtons. :clap:

My best night ever at Ashtons too. Mind you, it was also my first night ever at Ashtons which explains why I arrived at 8.45 when apparently the good dancers don't get there until 10 :whistle:

The good
Meeting lots of fabulous new dancers, forum and non. No names as I am bound to forget someone.
Meeting lots of my favourite forum people and enjoying some really fun dances
The queue for the bar - very orderly, is it always like that?
Kev F - very smooth and handled his birthday dances with aplomb
The DJs announcement re: floorcraft
Getting back on safari with Di-yena and Zebra sooner than expected. Some wonderful and some nice dances between the pair of them :stirring:

The bad
So many good dancers meant I missed out on many I would liked to have danced with esp. Sparkles who seemed to have left before I could ask her
The fact that the floorcraft announcement came way too late and was probably a waste of time given that none of the leaders will have thought they themselves were the ones being addressed
Some of the music - too much Latin for my tastes. I don't dislike it in and of itself - I just feel I can't do it justice on the dancefloor. Also getting a virtually undanceable (for me) track just at the point I had asked someone I really wanted to dance well with - always happens.

The ugly
People still doing daft dips and drops in that environment :headshaking:

Overall
As Arnie would say, I'll be back.
