So.......anyone not going to the Ceroc Champs.......going to this ?
I know one or two travelling down from Scotland..
Ok ..... an extract from our current publicity:
Our May freestyle (Sat 1st May)will be a very special one. The night will host the first heat of the National Modern Jive DJ Champs. There will be 4 DJs to going head to head, playing their best music. They will judges will be YOU, the dancers.
The Contenders so far are (subject to confirmation);
- Neil Franks from Blitz Chester
- ‘Dance Demon’ from Route 66 (Edinburgh)
- John Baker from Ceroc Solihull
- Joel Murphy from Barnside Jive
Spot anyone familiar
Sorry for the lousy timing but as the Ceroc Champs gave bu**ger all notice they were going ahead I'd already got things organised. So, if you want to support Scotland's representative and hear some really good tracks, come along to Northwich.
This heat is a 'proof' of concept'. If it works out a number of other dance orgnanisations are interested in running local heats. I've still got a load of interested DJs to invite up for another heat later in the year. If it works, think there would be enough interest for a Scotland heat?

Yep, me and the boss lady will be there. Night off though , no shoes just us.
Slight change to plan. Injuries have meant we are down to a straight Head to Head ..... Dance Demon v John Baker ... two strong lads with good form ..... likely to go the full distance Harry.Originally posted by Gus

Surprising amount of interest ... its a new format for the MJ arena and I'm not totally sure how the dancing public will react .... but as we're averaging about 170+ dancers I'm sure we'll still have a good party.
But the questions remains, Scotland v West Mids .... who will be victorious????
I did toy with the idea of doing both... but I think I may give the Champs a miss this year.Originally posted by Dance Demon

I do intend to get to Northwich though.
One question which occured to me the other day. Is there any danger that we'll hear the same tracks repeated by the different DJs. I'd probably prefer not to dance to too many tracks twice in one night..
Love dance, will travel
Speaking purely as an outsider I would have thought that making sure this didn't happen would be one of the skills on the night, part of the beauty of the format is that, as it's head to head, two tracks each (I think!?) both will have to be thinking on their feet to make nice segues......and speaking as ever so slightly an INsider - there's not a chance in Hammersmith (geddit ) that the other chap is gonna play what DD will play!!!Originally posted by DavidY

see you there David!!!
Ah - I wasn't sure if it was going to be like that, or if each DJ was playing a short set of eg. half an hour or so.Originally posted by Chicklet

I guess the latter would give more chance of having duplicate tracks on playlists (and give an advantage to whoever went first I suppose).
Do we dancers get to vote at the end? If there's an evening where the DJs swap every 2 tracks I may need to bring pen and paper & take notes on which songs I like best as otherwise I won't be able to keep track (if that's the word) ?I guess it would be more of an issue if the original 4 DJs were coming - with more chance of overlap of style.

You'll be there then? Looking forward to a dance or few ..see you there David!!!

actually, *remembers* you can thank me later for Linda still being available for next week, she had another (long, complicated and involved) offer from quite a bizzare chap that we had to escape with the old can't_POSSIBLY_go_to_the_loo_on_my_own trick.
I was getting that story yesterday and I'm lucky indeed as I'm led to believe that the chap in question has a good record in comp's and has only failed to progress past the first round of any competition on one occassion! Puts the prssure on you know.
Ah Chickie......you know me so well..Originally posted by Chicklet

I don't think you'll have too much to worry about somehow, but thank you for the kind words
