    Yep! Mind you, there only is one MJ class in NI at present. It stopped in early May and probably won't start until late September But there has been a good outcome as we are organising a workshop for August (due to a very kind forumite flying over to teach it! ) which will be the first ever MJ workshop in Northern ireland, and I think will give the whole MJ scene here (which is still pretty small) a great boost. And especially because there have been no classes the dancers are really looking forward to it!

    Come to Scotland (you know you want to ) - ehrm, unless you want heat as well
    None of the classes close over the summer, you have the choice of dancing most nights except Sunday and in a variety of towns

    It's been a nice warm day the last couple of days Sheena....

    Mind you. I do think that we need some more dancing on Fridays (once a month isn't enough). And definitely on Sunday!

    Re: Summer breaks

    Close for the summer.......whats that????

    We never close! Not even bank holidays in most cases.
    Sounds like you need a bit of the ceroc central magic Phil. If you move up this way there's loads of choice. Base yourself centrally like Northampton then you can dance every night of the week (if you want) within about 1/2 hour drive!!!!

    Re: Summer breaks

    The two local places to me that have shut for August have "terms" - so most of the beginners start together at around the same time - rather than encouraging people to join whenever they fancy, a la Ceroc. With this setup, having a Summer break makes more sense, I think. You get a definate beginning, and a definate end.

    Re: Summer breaks

    So they teach the same syllabus of ever increasing difficulty every year, starting at point A(novice) then developing to point B(intermediate) ?

    Re: Summer breaks

    Well, it's not an identical syllabus, but that's the kinda idea. I'll start a new thread if anyone's interested.

    I think emigration may be necessary Lynn.....

    Well done to Peter for the workshop, hope he has a large suitcase for stowaways!

    Re: Summer breaks

    From elsewhere:

    When the weather (as it is a the moment) is very hot with little wind - dancing becomes almost unbearable
    So maybe summer breaks aren't so bad?
