Our man in the antipodes, eh?
Send us details as you have them, Gus, and have a great time!
Well, as I'm waiting for the comnnection in Singapore, thought I'd start a thread about this weekends big event .... well big event out here. Thought some people might be interested in what happens at the Champs and how the workshops go. I'll be focusing on who is who and I trust that Debster will report on who wears what and of course technical insight into the shoes worn.
Thw workshops promise to be awesome (will post a link to the workshop list when I get chance). Sifficeth to say its probably the greatest line up of instructors; Robert Cordoba, Mark Harding and Nicky Haslam all on the same bill aswell as the couple who were 3rd at Jive Masters!must admit to feeling alittle out of my depth but it shoudl be great fun.
Anyway .. .touch down around Firday 10am NZ time, then its off to a Welcome Meal/Party that evening ... then time to sober up before the Champs Saturday night (specatating only) ... with the wrokshps all day Sunday and Monday, with a big party Sunday night.
Anyway .... hope to post something after the Welcome Meal.

Gus,
It's still not to late to find a partner and win the Comp! Do it for Britain.
You Da MAN!
Just checked on the workshop link here and am hugely disappointed ... despite there being a fabulous photograph of your good self, there is very little room to have it autographed upon your return.Originally Posted by Gus
Sure Adam would be your partner !
hehehe
Ok ... let me draw a picture ... ina moment of madness I said to Debster .... if theres a place lets compete .... a nd she said YES! Hoever, thought I was safe as there were no spare slots .... then last night I danced like a Muppet on valium (or worse) ... ego and confidence really low (some AWESOME dancers at the Auckland club last night) ... hadn't finished workshop details so thought I would spend today (saturday) having a few relaxing drinks and wriring up notes .... was achieveing this aim wonderfully til about an hour ago when the Champs team call me to let me know they have a space. SO ... I'm now trying to sober up (and I had a fair few drinks), remeber how to dance, forget that I DONT DO competitions, and FIND Debster (she's gone shopping and wont answer her mobile)!!
OK time for a poll to see if any of the forum member DIDN'T guess, this was exactly what would happen
now stop talking PISH...... you remember what a BABE you have in front of you, you give her LOADS of space to show off her exceptional ladytime talents, (and her shoes of course
(oh maybe let her lead too)
good luck and for goodness sake, relax and just enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well said, Miss Chicklet - you tell 'imnow stop talking PISH...... you remember what a BABE you have in front of you, you give her LOADS of space to show off her exceptional ladytime talents
Good luck Gus and Debster

Good on yer, Gus - guess we now know who to use as replacement teacher if Will/Kate are on holiday...

well done - a stirling effort
the 4 teams were disqualified - based on the length of time breakaway dancing.

Mickey Mouse's girlfriend, Minnie, made her film debut, along with Mickey, in "Steamboat Willie" on November 18, 1928.
That date is recognized as her official birthday.
ARISE.... Sir Gus.
Bravery & Valour in the face of many a bloodthirsty Kiwi! Did anyone "Hakka" you to try and psyche you out before the final?

Sir Gus?Apparently there are also photographs in existence which could well kick off a fresh caption competition. Still, with it being about 4am NZ time, that gives him loads of time before his next workshop at 10am. All he has to do is get rid of the ropes and the TimTams ...
