Did and am! my first weekender at camber (in fact first event outside of a class) with a few months of lessons and a workshop under my belt. I had the advantage of being with minnie (she has to love me
) who knows everyone and helped me settle in - so it is good advice to try to get to know people beforehand. Mind you, dancing and friendliness seem to go together so there is little problem there.
My personal advice is that the classes at the event are a great way to spot people so that when you see them later it is easier to ask for a dance and makes it all more social. (there are so many people - that seeing a familiar face is quite rewarding).
DTS advice is spot on. At Camber there were simply loads of ladies waiting for a dance and not one does anything other smile and say yes when asked - so the way forward is to keep on going. Another bit of advice is a typical male problem of 'move envy' (or something like that). There are some pretty special dances going on all around that you just don't see normally (well i haven't anyway). The way forward I reckon is to stick with doing what you can do well without over-stretching.
If you do the quiz - make sure you don't play the joker on the music round!!!
Have a great time!
