    Talking Dance Workshop

    OK ... just a quick note. Following on from the feedback from the thread asking for what workshops people would like to see ..... ÔGorgeous Gus DanceÕ going to run such a workshop in Glasgow.

    Three 1 hour workshops over a four hour period. The course will be on Saturday 23rd November, the day of the big evening party, giving course participants a load new moves to impress their friends in the evening!

    Each workshop is focused on a particular area to allow dancers to take it all in before memory overload sets in. The three topics are;
    • Drops and Leans
    • Club Jive
    • Up Close and Personal


    For further details. mail me on gus@ggus.co.uk or view http://www.ggus.co.uk/glasgow.htm

    ...or just say HI to me at the Champs

    Thats worrying .. works OK for me but then I loaded the website from this PC so it may be a cached page

    Looks like I'll have to check it from another PC ... should still be accessible from www.ggus.co.uk ... I hope

    Sounds good Gus, I might be tempted to give the above 2 a go, depending on how busy I am on the day!
    Only problem, I might have to find a "fixed partner" for the Up Close and Personal workshop... I'll start looking on Sunday

    Well, actually I am chickening out of most of the week-end... I have quite a lot of work to complete on the judging database system before Sunday
    It serves me right for taking a holiday

    Still, I am really looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday, and I might even get a dance or 2

    Like the sound of those Gus but just wonder if I would have any energy left for the party, especially after "up close and personal"!

    Anyway see you at the champs and maybe get a little "taster" of some of the moves to help me make up my mind

    Cheers

    And just how 'Close and Personal' were you intending to get?

    What sort of number limit are you setting on the classes? {Just so I can try to estimate how long before the classes are full - I have to buid up serious brownie points to escape at weekends }

    I can sympathise with needing the Weekend pass.

    Rough guide below, liable to chance one I've woken properly and had chance to think it through...

    Max Class sizes (provisional)
    Drops - 10 couples
    UCP - 20 couples
    Club Jive - 20 couples

    I've taught UCP to 60 dancers in NZ but about 1/4 of them were teachers ... and that was really a little on the high side. Would prefer to keep class sizes on the small side, easier to communicate and get feedback.

    Partners ?

    Anyone know what spaces are left ?
    Having managed to bribe my way to attend the party (assuming there are tickets left ) I want to use the whole day...

    However I don't have a partner: anyone care to take a dare with the Drops and Leans & Up Close and Personal workshops ?

    Update

    Not quite as popular as the main Party but bookings have been going well.

    The UCP workshop is nearly full but bookings can be made for all the classes by email (gus@ggus.co.uk) up till the end of this week. Just email me and I'll email back the booking form.

    Just to clarify ... you only need a partner for the UCP workshop (due to the 'intimate' nature of some of the moves:sorry ). All the other classes will involve rotation.

    See you all on the 23rd
