I still think WCS can still be a big participatory style in this country but I worry. I worry when I see things like the posts above about the
12 points on a foot. I understand that a question was asked and the answer given but this is a prime example of the reason why WCS may never take a strangle hold in the UK. THE SEARCH FOR COMPLEXITY!!!
I have witnessed so many people trying their hardest to invent complexity in WCS. It makes me sad. (im talking in general here)
Yes, there is technique and this technique needs, at some point, to be taught but people need to remember that WCS is a
social dance. I am concerned that the fun and excitement of WCS is being squashed by the constant talk of technique and complexity. This is definately not going to help spread the word. In many cases it will simply scare away people in their droves.
WCS is certainly not the hardest dance to pick up but the way some people in the wider world talk about it you would think its like finding the lost ark (just like indiana jones!)
I just think that dancing is about having fun. Lets stick to that. When talking to people about WCS lets point out all the fun things about it without mentioning the technical aspects. Please
