I see that the details for Blush are now on-line HERE.
It looks like quite a line-up, WCS teachers will be Brent & Kellese Key and they are having a Tango couple in called Jenny Francis and Ricardo Oria for you tango-monkeys
In as much as you can judge from such clips both these couples look great. I have to admit I am impressed. Great dancers don't always make great teachers but both these couples look to have that "wow" factor and should at the very least be very exciting to watch.

I just don't think the weekend will be long enough for all I want to do!
Awesome.
Lets hope for myriads of WCS lessons, I suggest multiple masterclasses this time!
January's going to be an expensive month!
Jenny Francis and Ricardo Oria are based in Edinburgh, and regularly teach both there and in Glasgow.
I have never seen them teach, but if you've ever watched BBC 1 in the past 5 years, .

No schedule yet though, so not really a full line up yet. The overall schedule, and strength in depth, matters signficantly.
There isn't much of a teaching focus to the WCS teachers website, and I don't know if anyone will have experience of having been taught by them.
I think there is plenty of people who've been taught by Jenny and Ricardo by contrast.
great clips

Age is a question of mind over matter, if you don't mind, it doesn't matter
Leroy (Satchel) Paige (1906-1982)
Mickey Mouse's girlfriend, Minnie, made her film debut, along with Mickey, in "Steamboat Willie" on November 18, 1928.
That date is recognized as her official birthday.
That's a great line-up. Jenny and Ricardo are fantastic teachers, and Jenny's legs are as sharp as knives
I've never been taught by Brent or Kellese, but have seen them in the US - their background is shag but their WCS is amazing too. Brent is a delight to dance with
R e the recent e-mail and the blush flyer
I must be behind the times I thought Nigel and Nina ‘supported’ the Independents ?? they were regulars at Southport ?? when did they defect ?
More improtantantly is that Tango Guy , Silor of Heroes ??
Perhaps, as Franck suggested about some other people's motivations, they too don't really care as long as they are booked to teach there?
Nigel and Nina were at Rebel Yell, and Breeze, so it's hardly a surprize they are at Blush.
I don't know, but I seem to remember something about them becoming Ceroc affiliated teachers a while back. There home base franchise became associated with Ceroc or something wasn't it ?
Oooh, I only just spotted this:
Slow? Moi?
Well, I was tempted to -ve rep you for mis-spelling "Sylar"
Anyway, Blush, right... Yes, looks like a good line-up. Actually, the classes that I'd be really tempted by are the ballroom ones taught by Mike, I'd love to see him teach again.
And yes, it also looks like they're being more "inclusive" in their teaching line-up, which is a good thing I think.
Although you lot don't care about classes, you seem to make a fetish about never going to them anyway.
Don't tar us "lot" with the same brush. I go to as many classes as I can. I even did a Simon & Nicole class a couple of weeks ago.
On the subject of teaching for Ceroc I think Nigel & Nina have done the right thing. They are dance teachers for hire. They don't run their own nights and are not in the dance business. They are employed by dance businesses. For a dance teacher to refuse to teach for the biggest MJ dance business would be madness.
Speaking personally, I am both a consumer and a dance teacher. As a consumer I'm not prepared to give Ceroc any of my money because I can get all the dancing I want without compromising my moral decision not to support Ceroc HQ financially - I'm sure they can cope without their cut of my £8. As a dance teacher, however, I probably wouldn't turn down the work if they offered to pay me - I would call John or Wes before accepting, but I wouldn't expect them to tell me I should turn down income from my chosen profession. Or I would expect them to offer me work in place of the Ceroc income if they wanted to tie me to some kind of contract. Thankfully, John, Wes and I will never be put in that position because I will not receive an offer to teach at a weekender for Ceroc.
There is another factor to consider. Will Nigel & Nina be invited to teach at future Jive Addiction events? They're still great teachers and performers so my guess is "yes".

no harm in asking I reversed your neg rep have some + from me
Ringing John and Wes is good maners in my book, I also told them I was going to CerocPort.
Personally I have no evidence that John or Wes are that petty.
why would they be asked to teach ? there not teachers are they ?
