Major events and dance weekenders 2012

Is it possible to start at thread for events for 2012? It would really help me with scheduling things for next year :flower:

So far on the Ceroc Escape site we've got:

3-5 Feb: Ceroc Blush - Southport

17-19 Feb: Ceroc Swish - Norfolk (already sold out!)

9 - 11 March: Ceroc Storm - Camber

25-27 May: Ceroc Viva Las Vegas - Camber

Sept - Ceroc Medfest

It's a long wait till the next Breeze though, apparently it's not happening till 20121!

I am particularly interested to know when the summer Southport is since I'm not going to make the February one. I am wondering if the moving of the bank holiday this year is creating issues, as I'm sure it's normally late May, and last year Viva was early June. Will there even be one if it's not on the schedule yet?

I'd also like to know when the Aberdeen Beach Ballroom events are if anyone knows yet.

No info, but I totally agree about wanting more. The earlier the dates are confirmed the better chance I can organise holidays for them.

4 - 7 May - Mariachi Weekender - Rosyth

17 -20 Aug - Blues Fusion Exchange - Stratford-Upon-Avon

24 - 27 Aug - Mariachi Weekender - Rosyth

9-12 March 2012 - JiveAddiction - Hemsby!!!

13 - 16 Jan 2012 - Rockbottoms AT weekender - Torquay

1-4 June - Edinburgh International Tango Festival - Edinburgh

13-15 July - Bluez Cruize - Edinburgh

So far I'm booked on Jive Addiction/Metropolis 27th/29th Jan
& UK/European WCS Champs end of March (can't remember the dates)

Like Twirly I'm wondering when Southport Scorch will be. I can't really see that the extra bank holiday will be a problem as it's usually the week or two weeks before the second May bank holiday, and this year that holiday is being moved to the beginning of June because of the Jubilee.

Has there been a SP weekender yet when the university students have been present? The number of dancers in Feb might be lower in Feb, allowing co-existence. How does this work for a full house in June?

They were there for the October Southport weekend I believe. I didn't notice their presence at all though - I think the main effect was fewer chalets available.

If anyone wants or knows of anyone looking for tickets for Storm.......I have available a Classic chalet with wristbands for one male/one female and a parking space ... can no longer go :(.............gutted

1st-4th June Jive Addiction at Hemsby

I'll be at SP in February, my last weekender/dancing for a while what with the expected arrival of "bump" in May :)

There's some weekenders listed here.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Ceroc Blush Southport in February is my favourite, maybe because it's colder, not as busy as the Summer Southport, I always have an amazing time!

Can't wait for many dances, a bit of Champagne drinking, some waffles and general merriment!
