    Fantastic, I enjoyed it even better than May. Sooo nice to meet so many other forumites! ( A big thanks to all the guys for some fab dances! And to the girls for listening to me being delighted with my new shoes! ) Sat night in the blues room was just brill.

    I'm sure there will be some photos posted soon (though there may be some that might not be!)

    Well I went to bed 8am this morning and was up by 10,30am, at least journey home only 4hrs not the 8hrs getting there !

    Illl be shot for this but although great etc I thought most of the classes I attended were not as good as May. Seem a lack of preperation in a lot of classes.

    The weekend at Southport was just fabby! I've never been before so the whole experience was brilliant, had a lot of excellent dances (some from my own "clan" but quite a number from the wonderful "smoothies" down south), everyone was really friendly and the classes I attended were great. The music in all 3 areas was so good, I couldn't make up my mind where to go next!

    p.s. My only disappointment was I didn't manage to meet many forumites as I missed the gathering ....hopefully have more opportunity of doing so on Saturday.

    Was really enjoying the music last night – but too tired to last the pace (and had to give a lecture at 3pm back in Belfast). Having to sleep at some stage really gets in the way of dancing!

    Yes – big thanks to John and Wes.

    I found out that one of my students is running a solo dance class at the college - so I ended up doing 1 1/2 hour class this evening... So now I am really tired!

    PS - Nice to meet you Minnie

    Thanks, I will do! Don't think I'll be dressing as my avatar though, I've been "appearing" in the outfit so much lately I thought I'd give everyone a break.

    I had a lovely dance with Dancing Girlie - who appeared from nowhere at around 2.30am on Monday morning. I would like to say that she is a lovely dancer and one of the prettiest girls I saw all weekend - along with all the other prettiest girls I met ...

    .. which was, of course, all of them (added hastily before I get into even more trouble)

    Andy

    p.s. There might be a photo posted on here - it isn't me

    A follow on from the Southport weekend - us NI dancers enjoyed ourselves so much we decided that if we want to dance, we'll have to do something about it ... so we are having a dance on Wed night!

    As already mentioned the Dance Demon played a couple of wonderful sets and also liked Peter Philips effort on the Sunday night.

    I'd also probably echo the sentiments that the teaching was probably not as high a standard as it was in May, although this may have been in part to some of the workshops being massively overcrowded IMHO.

    Highlights for me was definately the Sunday night freestyle where there was a bit more space, meeting some of the forumite's who I'd not really met previously, and letting Lory invent new moves on me including the Shampoo and a move which for some reason seemed to involve me getting my nipples twisted

    Also some truly marvelous slow dances later on in the night

    In my defence, I was tired ...

    ..eh, only when the wig's on!



    Lynn - "we'll have to do something about it ... so we are having a dance on Wed night" (sorry I don't know how do the double-quote thing) .....sounds like a good idea Lynn. By the way, are there any events like Southport planned in NI? If there were, I'm sure there would be a few volunteers!
