    Welcome to the Aussies!

    I understand that, alas, the CMJ forum in Australia will be shutting down soon.

    However, it's nice to see some new faces (figuratively speaking) from that forum here.

    It might be good if you could introduce yourselves on this thread, and maybe give a bit of background information on yourself? That'd help us establish who's who, for those of us unfamiliar with the scene in Australia.

    Is CMJ still going to continue?

    It is Robert's forum, aligned to CMJ that is closing.

    CMJ as a dance company is still going.

    It is shutting down because too many people have not been their for an age.

    so it is related to your (lack of) postings.

    Re: Welcome to the Aussies!

    Hi,

    I'm Mark. I live and dance in Canberra, because I'm finishing up my PhD at the Australian National University. I've been dancing for just on 3 years, and competing for about half that time. We seem to do OK, mostly because pards is hot and a really good follow to boot! Anyway, it will be nice to get my brain back from the former to be able to do actually do some work on the latter and get better

    Why should we have people not from Scotland on the CerocScotland forum

    Re: Welcome to the Aussies!

    Hi, I'm another transplant from the Australian forum.

    I don't say much about dancing at the moment, because illness has left me not dancing since March. I've followed an on-off dancing cycle over 9 years or so (lots of off...)

    Happy to put my two cents' in about anything else, though.

    (Oh, and mabraham is overly humble: I think he's the hot one )

    Welcome antipodean friends!

    It'd be real nice if you can all put your location in your profile so we know where you're coming from.

    I do enjoy having a dance with her when I get chance; only problem is, I tend to go a little green with envy for mabraham!

    (did you notice that in the photo, everyone is pointing to her?.... I wonder why? )

    Re: Welcome to the Aussies!

    Hiya - another Aussie here transplanted from the CMJ Aussie forum (*bless its soul*)...
    I've been checking out the topics on this forum - both dance and social - and it's a whole new world! there's so much going on (helps to have a good number of active forumites)... and a varied array of topics.
    Thanks to those who've welcomed us into the fold... and hopefully those who haven't won't get too peeved. (apologies in advance if I manage to peeve folks off)

    Re: Welcome to the Aussies!

    And another Australian here... I miss my daily dose of forum-ness!

    I live in Adelaide, South Australia, and it was 33C here today, perfect summer weather, IMO.
