    Wot I want for Christmas is..

    a dance weekend in Birmingham, (or Nottingham)
    Call me lazy but the thought of 4 hours driving after work on Friday night even for a weekend of extreme pleasure slightly takes the edge off my enthusiasm at times

    it would be nice...

    However we aren't totally devoid of places to dance. The Halloween dance at Ceroc Daventry a couple of weeks back was one of the best "ordinary" freestyle nights I've been to. It's a big venue which comfortably held what must have been 3 or 4 hundred dancers.

    I guess the problem of turning something like that into a weekend is finding some cheap accomodation within easy walking distance so you can go back and eat/sleep whatever.
    Love dance, will travel

    Hmmm Daventry does have possibilities the workshops are of a good standards and the Halloween Ball was fantastic! I really liked the caberets..
    Some weekenders are done in hotels with dance floors, and they work really well but I suspect that the hotels with dance floors tend to be in the sesside areas

    Much better idea....

    Birmingham is a really crappy place to live anyhow. So move somewhere nicer. And make sure that it's near a place where they hold a dance weekend. Problem solved

    Yes you're right and there were workshops beforehand. There were 2 x 2 hour workshops on moves from the 2 prize-winning cabaret routines done by Emma (Pettitt) & Alex and also Phil & Alex.
    The workshops weren't as full as the previous similar day at Daventry though.
    Love dance, will travel
