So now we have the event which can't be named! Where are you going to be then Gus!
I feel another one of those piggy-in-the-middle situations coming on here Fletch!
If you lie about your age, there's still time for us to enter the old farts category... Or we could do a bouncy showcase.. What do you say?
I know where I 'll be on 4 Nov, but I do need somewhere to practice near Stoke/Manchester on 3 Nov. It will be our only opportunity.
I'm missing you something rotten babes.... And I'm not going to make the next T! Just signed up for Amir's Sunday workshop in Putney on 29th... Life is hard.

Just got back from Knutsford. A superb evening, sold out but more space than before (no stage and fewer tables) so less crowded. Marc was DJing so the music was just right, he also gave an hours workshop beforehand and did a Cuban Blues demo with Rachel which was great to watch. If only all freestyles could be like this!
Similar at Chester, who always sell-out ... must be doing something right. I think its a positive statement about the dancing in the N West that we can have two sellout events on the same night, around 270 dancers in total having a great night out. Was nice to see a few forumites there, Donna and RoyBoy .
Will be interesting to see how things go over the Xmas period. As everyone has traditionally avoided going up against the Stockport town Hall events, most of the local operators are now holding their events on Sat 2nd and 9th of December.
On the 2nd there is
- Alive Events - Whitby
- Cool Catz - Northwich
- Reveolution - Knutsford
- Ceroc Manchester - Hyde
On the 9th there is
- Blitz Chester- Blitz
- Ceroc Nantwich - Nantwich
- Hot Roc - Sandbach
This presents a different issue. The venue capacities for the four 2nd Dec events are (about) 200, 250, 150, 200 respectively. I don't think that there are 800 dancers out and about in the N West so somebody is going to be dissapointed. On the 9th Chester will sell out its 120 tickets no problem, leaving Sandbach and Nantwich to find another 350 dancers between them. The Xmas season is going to be a real challenge to all promoters.
...OK - so I exaggerate slightly - it was a three hour trip, yes, but we'd spent the day nearby for other reasons, so it was nice timing.
On the other hand, before now, we have...
Stayed up all night dancing on the last night of an overseas event,
Flown back to our local airport
Gone: 'what freestyles are on?' and thought of Knutsford
Driven three hours to Knutsford (via nearest Tescos to buy clean shirts)
Danced 'till nearly the end.
Collapsed (OK - that was me - Mrs Straycat managed to retain enough energy to get us back to the hotel)
That was a great night too
We love you all, dedication or other
Make sure you ask Jane for more sweets & Cake next time.
Cheers guys, we're still having a blast & have all sorts of treats lined up for December & in the New Year.
Don't forget all our Sat Freestyle nights in 2007 fall on the last Saturday of the month, other than Decembers which will be Sat 22nd December
Happy dancing
