This was, by far, one of the best dance weekends ive ever been on.
Ive been trying to suss out what it was about this weekend that has made it so good, we only stayed for two of the three nights and even that didn't dampen the high im feeling for the great weekend we just had.
Anyway, enough of that. Let me tell you what a wonderful weekend it was.
1.THE MUSIC I can really only talk about the blues room as we only went into the fast room to use the bar and we had one dance in there the whole weekend.
I did not and i repeat, DID NOT, hear a bad song all weekend. Every single set that i was party too was brilliant. Every single DJ had clearly brought music completely apt for the lounge area and they got it so right. I can not believe just how wonderful it was and my feet are suffering today because of it. Silverfox and Rocky - much respect you made the afternoons for me on saturday and sunday.x
2. THE WEATHER. What can i say. Could it have been any better. We even went down to the beach for the first time for an hour just before we went home sunday afternoon. I cant imagine ever being that lucky again in May for the gorgeous weather we had. Nice and hot during the day and cool in the evening - perfect.
3. THE COMPANY - I cant remember a weekender being as friendly as this one. There was no atmosphere that i could feel and groups of forumites were not apparant. There was no clique. Not anywhere. It was fantastic. Everybody was chatting to everybody and it was wonderful. I had the best company of all though - Scarface of course who is my everything and Ruby Red who without doubt has me in stitches the whole weekend and encourages me to drink too much LOL
4. THE DANCING. I again can only speak for the blues area but let me tell you, anybody that was in that area was a fantastic dancer. I had so many great dances that i cant even tell you or pick out which were the best. The floors were absolutely fine. They were getting a bit hot during the day outside but there is bugger all can be done about that, some people were complaining that there feet were burning, not in a bad way but just mentioning it.
5. Scarface He did something wonderful this weekend. He finally felt comfortable with his own dancing for the first time and did not suffer butterflies when being asked to dance. He was without doubt, 100 times better when he finished sunday than when he started Friday. He watched the great dancers, took some tips and that was it. A new confident dancing scarface. You cant beat, learning from watching. He also brought his first pair of dancing shoes.... He is officially now a dancer LOL
6. Great moments
- Getting told "congratulations" by so many lovely people and being asked to see the ring. Feels lovely to see people take out the time to do that.
- Scarface loosing the apartment key at 7am whilst doing the wee wee dance outside the door
- Seeing the sun come up for the first time ever at a weekender
- Getting new dance shoes and new dance trousers
- Seeing all our regular faces and the not so regular to catch up and have a drink with
- Ruby Red and Scarface doing head banging dancing at 6am in the apartment which i have recorded and will put on at some point.
- Ruby red telling us she was not drinking on saturday and then seeing her with wine glass in hand two hours later.
- The dancing - i cant mention names cause i cant possibily remember them all and would be frightened to miss somebody out but if i danced with you this weekend then take it from me, you were brilliant and it was a great dance.
7. The Bad
Absolutely nothing was bad about this weekend except not staying on the sunday nite. That was bad LOL
