    Hi Boots

    How are you? Only just seen your post so I'm probably a bit late :-(

    Texans are certainly welcome. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by two step but I hope you found a welcome and some dancing :-)

    If you want to do a lil' two stepping you need to check out the linedancing clubs. You wont find twostepping at ceroc clubs. Ceroc is like a dumbed down version of east coast swing, good music though and very much lead and follow

    If you are in the Glasgow Area you could try the Grand Ole Opry in Govan which has country and western music and dancing.

    Hope you enjoy your visit to Scotland

    Hi, Boots. My friend and I will be traveling from the US for the Southport event and other ceroc classes. We have had a great time doing two-step in Houston, Austin, and other places. I can't tell you what the options are at Southport because it's my first time there, but would be happy to have a twirl. Also, could you bring some Texas Toast?

    Re: any two step up there??

    the boss 86ed the trip outside of London because he wants us to entertain the clients instead and he doesn't want us driving anywhere (probably a good idea ). which means Im sure we will wind up in another 'gentlemens club' if you know what I mean. myself, i would rather dance with the gals then pay good money to watch em 'dance', but I am not the boss (YET! ) maybe I'll get to learn this dumbed down dance and show you all a little boot scootin some other time. are there any bars in London where good old rednecks are welcome

    There's always The Texas Embassy, just off Trafalgar Square, or The Roadhouse in Covent Garden.

    Welcome to England Boots. Yep, Been to Houston a couple of times and hopefully back again soon. My thing is WCS although I have 2stepped around the Wild West on Richmond a couple of times. But for me its gotta be the Big Easy blues bar on Kirby Drive maybe the Concert Pub on a Wednesday night. Always like to finish a good night out though with early breakfast at the House of Pies on westheimer.

    If you do the WC swing thing theres a dance on in the Green Man Pub in Kingsbury this Sat.

    Sadly it doesnt work that way over here, theres not much in the way of dancing in bars/pubs, people tend to concentrate on serious art of drinking only!

    Theres a big Ceroc dance on in Hammersmith Town Hall this Saturday night thats within affordable Cab ride of central London.

    Hope you find some decent entertainment whilst youre here, good luck!!
