I've seen several mentions of Rock Bottom now, but haven't got the faintest what it is. Can you let me know more about it?

Here is a link to their website.

Thanks a lot for that. I just took a look at it and its a really good site. I've signed up for their newsletter and I'll def see about going on one of the weekends early next year, if I can find someone to go with. I'm in a bit of a strange situation really as none of my personal friends go to jive, nor do they want to, and although I am fast making new friends at the classes, I don't know anyone well enough yet to ask if they want to go on anything like this. Still, there's time yet !

That is brilliant, thank you. I just took a quick peek and it looks to be just what I was looking for.

Depending what you call MAIN there are actually more Steve, Boogaloo for one + Ron Kirby's (By the way Party Weekender only do one in Wales now) Plus the Cruise / Santa etc AND the swing ones like JATW and Jiveswing.com (Joseph's) and I could go on .......

Well. Thought about adding in the Jiveswing ones. But they are more catering to those that want to learn Lindy IMHO - even when they do offer jive classes, all the music at the dance nights is swing, and they are also non-residential (though, obviously you can book a hotel yourself), and I did specify residential.

The others you list aren't jive at all, and hence don't come into the reckoning. If you want to include non-jive events, then there are many others - from salsa to lindy etc. And I'm sure that you do list them all on your most excellent list Minnie
